Senator Says Russia is the Answer To Middle East's 'Terrorist Oil'

Russian Oil ping.

[tomkat]

i seem to recall reading that we only get ~15% of our crude from the ME.

if that's correct, surely that amount can be purchased elsewhere.

were it doable, i'd gladly pay an extra 25¢/gal or whatever,
just to know that none of our petro $s were goin' to the goathumpers ...

There's a report out today that Bush and his staff are meeting with African oil producing countries.

The conversation might let the African see that their countries can garner billions in revenue if they supply the oil that we need.

That'll leave the mid-east out looking in. And, soon they'll go back to being camel herders and nomads like they were previously...oh-hum.

[rintense]

This is a good thing, but we should never place all our eggs in one basket like we have with OPEC. Diversify and continue to pursue self-reliance.

Russia has a lot of potential, but truly won't be a competitor until their infrastructure can support massive amount of oil production/exports- probably around 5-7 years.

[hchutch]

Well, if we can pull off a coup in Venezuela, that would help matters, and from what I gather, Mexico's got a good deal of oil, too.

More nuclear power would not be a bad thing, either.

Trinidad has lots of oil, and a huge amount of natural gas. Why not deal with them?

I know nothing of Senator Burns, however, it sounds like he needs a lecture in economics 101 as he has apparently failed to understand the basic supply and demand principle/rule. He, also, apparently needs to be de Watermeloned as per his comments here:

Burns also used his speech Thursday to stress the free-market principles of the oil industry. He predicted that if gasoline prices increased enough, that alone would have a greater impact than switching oil suppliers.

"When you start paying too much money to get your utility vehicle] on the road, you'll start seeing people buying smaller cars with better gas mileage," Burns said, noting that hybrid automobiles are gaining in popularity.

Senator Burns you should just like the Goron, that the best way to solve our energy problems is to pay more at the pump and we should drive Yugos. You are apparently a Rino Watermelon if you truly believe this.

Last but not least Senator Burns, you are advocating an oil cartel here in the US to increase gas prices. Mr Burns, Cartels are illegal here in the US. We need to find more places in America to produce our own oil, we need Russia, Africa and other non Opecker companies to produce more oil.

There is no shortage of oil, there is a shortage of understanding the principle rule of supply and demand by Watermelon Senators in this country! When we have the supply coming from non cartels, the price will be determined by the consumer not Watermelon senators.

And for this reason, the W/Putin bond and deals to be made may well be one of the greatest accomplishments of the W presidency. Russia is going to be a much needed ally when China rears its ugly head. India too. The Euroweenies, well they can do whatever they do...

oops

[TexasCajun]

I would prefer a U.S. Oil Ping!!

There is no reason we cannot be self sufficient!

Well, one-reason, Liberal DemocRATS!

[Grampa Dave]

TC, you posted: I would prefer a U.S. Oil Ping!! There is no reason we cannot be self sufficient! Well, one-reason, Liberal DemocRATS!

The Rat Senators are the best friends the OPecker Princes and Saddam have bought in America. They go from Da$$hole down to their newest wh$re the Hilldebeast.

We need to defeat as many of them as we can this November. Da$$hole needs to slither back to his back Rat hole as the real minority leader in the Senate.

Then, we defeat more in 2004, 2006, and 2008.

Da$$hole is the best investment the Opecker Princes/Saddam ever made. Da$$hole blocked the senate from even voting on drilling in ANWR. Da$$hole is a traitor to America/Americans and so are his fellow Rat senators.

Meeknming, this is your cue!

"America buys virtually no oil from Russia and the Caspian states, yet they present the biggest opportunity in oil exploration and production for America," he said.

Man Dave, have you ever nailed this lulu. Not three months ago came the announcement that imports from Russia surpassed those from Saudi Arabia for the first time since about 20 years ago. Now that statement alone would kinda make him appear to think his listeners don't think.

He's wrong on about every count, and those he is not wrong on, he is way out of date.

Every publication I get, every month, for many many years, contain breakdowns on WORLDWIDE exploration and the many great finds in the MANY different countries, acheived by AMERICAN companies.

If the Republicans can't do better than this yahoo, we are in trouble.

[Grampa Dave]

Bob, what is the book your friends have on this guy?

His remards show either some real ignorance or he is a Watermelon Rino waiting to hurt us more in our energy needs.

Thanks for picking up another error that this apparent Bozo has made in just one article.

I'm waiting for Shermy to weigh in with his excellent insights on what appears to be a bad egg pretending to be a republican.

LOL ! Alright. First, here's a link to some more of tiny tommy da$$hole's latest Obstruction activity.

Lawmakers back Bush, disagree on Iraq plan -
Tom Daschle said he was not yet convinced

Tiny Tommy Da$$hole:
What did he obstruct?
And when did he obstruct it?
Free the Daschle Fifty

House Majority Leader Dick Armey today called upon Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to vote on 50 bills that have passed the House and are stalled in the Senate.

"The American people want action," said Armey. "They don't want political posturing. The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."

They don't call me
Mr. Obstruction for nothing, ya know?

[MeekOneGOP]

Little Tommy Daschle's
Skool Picture! !

[tractorman]

Who needs their oil!

I say let's invade Alaska and take theirs!

[BOBTHENAILER]

Bob, what is the book your friends have on this guy?

Don't have any book, just the publications I get every month. Freepmail me your address and I'll send you a good article on russia.

[junta]

How about invade Mexico kill off their elite and introduce some competition for PEMEX?
