first off thanks for being civil and not being abusive(snicker)...

enough petroleum products capable of being produced right here...and natural gas is off the charts if we allow ourselves to produce it.

Cuba funded by other commie states are drilling the gulf...but we cant because we have a marxist in office and enough RINOs in congress to whine about green things and back the idiots who inhabit the WH.

we do not need the Middle East. They need us.

I do not know that we are protecting the opium fields...that sounds like a zer0 thing to be sure...but we need to correct OUR drug problem....not go halfway around the world to correct it.

[enough petroleum products capable of being produced right here..]

But those domestic products are not what secures the hegemony and value of the dollar.

Would you rather OPEC’s oil be priced in Euros/Rubles?
