[ken5050]

Well, let's see Sen Kerry filabuster drilling at ANWR now..

[chemicalman]

Ban arab oil! Increase domestic!

[dbbeebs]

Ban arab oil! Increase domestic!

I'm not an expert, but don't we *need* "arab" oil?

[jgrubbs]

we dont need arab oil, we can drill in Alaska and off the coast of the US

[Walkin Man]

Right! Some terrorists (ARAB NO DOUBT!) commits the worse case of mass terror and death on American soil ever, THEN OUR "Arab friends" in control of all the oil jack the price SKY HIGH! What a big ol cowinky-dink eh???

[RoseofTexas]

In other words the Arabs have Americans by the B***s! (sigh)

It's time to roll over the eco-fascists and develop domestic oil sources to the max. For too long, these latter day pantheists have forced us into an indecent, craven policy viz a viz the barbarian states of the Persian Gulf.

[Teacher317]

I'll support almost any alternative to helping enrich our enemies.

[RaginCajun]

Uh-oh! here come the loose nuts and bolts that are going to proclaim an oil company conspiracy!

Pass this on to as many people as you can - it makes sense and will finally wake people up to protecting their own freedoms and educating themselves:

hey do this for me: point out to all the George W. Bush supporters down there in Texas that hey, where the hell is your president? he didn't get on radio till thirty-five minutes after he was informed of the tragedy. he has not been on TV until several HOURS after this national tragedy. Don't you think an effective president who really gave a damn would be on radio and TV, supporting the American people? Now he also kicked all the reporters off of his plane about an hour ago. Now there is no way he will show his face - there are no camera operators there to show it!

Strangely enough, all the Houston major oil firms buildings have been closed down (Enron, Entergy, Exxon, Mobil.....). Now, a current world issue is the oil countries and there is an international lawsuit going on saying that the presidents of the major oil firms in Houston helped George Bush decide his oil policy. They helped him in ways that brought big bucks to themselves.

Now - why would the Houston oil buildings close down? I mean, if they are closing, why aren't all buildings closing everywhere? All businesses?

See the connection? Bush, energy crisis, oil decision, Houston oil firms......the truth is coming out now. President Bush is going down, and this country is up for some sh*t.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Let's just take the damn oil fields (pardon my language). Whose going to scream about it and what can they do about it?

[cksharks]

F--k you!!!!!!!!! A$$hole.

[Tasha]

Let the prices rise - in my house, we will be selling oil stocks and gold and gold stocks, and we don't care how high they go. The rule is, in this house we do not trade blood, and no blood money will be mixed with our money. This has always been the rule of the house. My family will make no penny off of the blood of innocent people being killed.
This sometimes made my father lose some money, but life is short and he always says "trade commodities, not blood."

[trutexan]

You idiot, all of the tall buildings in Houston were evacuated, there are other businesses besides "oil" that shut down.

[dpwiener]

I suppose some hysteria is to be expected on this thread, but it would help if people tried to think rationally: The arabs have not raised oil prices. Prices are jumping up because refineries are limiting deliveries (especially to independent retailers) due to uncertainty over supplies and a desire to conserve their reserves. U.S. ports have been closed in some places, so oil tankers can't unload their cargoes. There are going to be a number of temporary dislocations in lots of areas of our economy until events sort themselves out. Latching onto scapegoats and propagating wild rumors and misinformation doesn't accomplish anything.

[chemicalman]

*need* "arab" oil

Nope....American strategy was to deplete the arab nations of their oil. We have reserves, we have resources, we have americans willing to work. Let us supply our own oil, until the Iraq desert radiation levels go down in the next few years.

[Malcolm]

Sharks, I couldn't said that better myself; you have to be ideologically poisoned to even think like that, much less have the gall to post this partisan piece of crap in a time like this. What a jackass!!!!

[caisson71]

You should get your hoof-IN-mouth treated.
