What I posted elswhere RE: ANWR Drilling:

The Middle East is going to deteriorate further, oil prices are going to skyrocket. It will effect our ability to make war. It is no longer a choice (as to ANWR drilling) as far as I am concerned. It is a strategic necessity. The entire arctic is there for the caribou and bears. Nobody seems to realize how large this place really is, and how small a large development would look in comparison.

The plan might be to occupy Iraq and Iran, and the allies would then occupy their own oil land as they do now. Control of these regions guarantees oil for a very long time. Oil is the most important commodity in the world due to its limited geographic availability and the industrialization of the world. If those who sit on the oil wish to play games with it, they will lose the game. If the plan fails, then Europe, America, and Japan will crash. China is out of the loop and will have to leapfrog into space resources, which they intend to do anyway. That takes care of the next 100 years and by then nuclear fusion power should be available.

Whose plan might that be? Not mine, but it sure looks like this is happening. Mess with the best, die like the rest.
