Drilling ANWAr will not change our dependence on foriegn oil. We should have direct control of foriegn oil. I hope that that is what Bush is going for in Iraq.

Oh, geeze. It's doubtful that even the commies really believe the "war for oil" nonsense, an argument constructed to rope in mentally challenged dupes. What possesses you to buy in? Considering the cost of deployment and conquest alone, let alone maintaining an empirial state in Iraq, it would be cheaper to suck North Slope oil through solid gold straws!

Since you apparently haven't been paying any attention, what Bush is "going for" is the exact opposite of "direct control" of oil, by the United States or anyone else. Our policy favors, and is geared toward creating, a rational international market for oil, with a maximum diversity of sources, such that cartels are ineffective.
