"Bush just gave $90 million to protect a U.S. oil pipeline in Colombia - and you all do not mind?"

NO,I DON'T mind!

I'd have to know the details to give an informed opinion, but if it's a matter of establishing other oil sources outside the Middle East........I'm all for it. I wish we'd start drilling in Alaska!

I read the biggest source of oil, even bigger than the middle east, is in the Gulf of Mexico, in the United States. Have you heard this?

You don't get it. Bush did not send the money down to Colombia to help reduce our dependence on oil from the Middle East, but to help out an Oil buddy from California. If that does not bother you, well, fuggeddaboutit. Americans who do not support campaign finance reform are corrupt themselves, and nothing will get through their thick skulls.
