Good question...we're running low on the Charmin here...
Oh what crap. Maybe you haven't seen this headline, that oil may go down to $10 a barrel. OPEC needs us more than we need them and with more Russian oil coming on line every day, OPEC has lost one of it's weapons.
Pat is delusional.
He's in Clinton mode, struggling for some sort of significance in the universe. It isn't happening, and won't.
Two points:
1. Bush just ordered the purchase of another 10 million barrels for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
2. Russia has lots of oil for sale. OPEC is pissed because Russia is driving down the cost of oil and won't cut production. And Russia's President was just visiting...where?
And maybe you haven't seen the articles saying that Saudi Arabia is on the verge of falling completely apart. They've been paying protection money to the terrorists for years, in an attempt to keep the House of Saud in charge for a while longer. The terrorists, if they decide that Saudi Arabia is cooperating a little too much with Bush, can take some dynamite into the oil fields and quickly take out enough production capability to drive the price to $100 per barrel.
Yep, more advice from the genius who said that we should have never declared war against the Nazis as they weren't our enemies! The same guy who used Herpes as a medical reason not to serve in Nam. A real military expert like the clymer Krystol quoted by this world class loser in life!
Buchanan, Krystol and the rest of the NE so called conservatives are so farer out of the current power loop, than Jupiter is from the sun! They are out in the cold dark side of space, with zero impact on GW and the world. Their 15 minutes of fame are over. They are becoming grease spots in the ash heap of failures!
That has always been a possibilty(even before 9/11), but rememebr when people were saying that Kabul wouldn't be taken until spring? There is a lot going on behind the scenes and I have no doubt that a contigency has been taken into account of your scenario. People have been poo-pooing the effectiveness of the War in Afghanistan.
Bush and Co. have proved their competance and success, when are the naysayers going to concretely prove theirs?
Exactly what did you find so disagreeable in Buchanan's assessment of the situation? It seemed like a pretty straight forward, objective appraisal of the situation to me.
Danny BoyOh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
