"It's not smart to drill now"

I agree, but for different reasons. The media would KILL Bush for this. Bush has to do some MAJOR re-education on this issue and conservation in general before this ever passes.

Take a look at any media program on ANWR. They always show frolicking caribou walking through the beautiful meadow. They don't tell you that the footage they're showing you is NOT of ANWR. Viewers assume. For Bush to win this battle he has to first reframe the argument and prove that the media is lying.

You know, when they laid the pipeline YEARS ago in the '70s, I recall somebody working for Alcoa commenting on the caribou: "The caribou? THEY LOVE US, the pipeline is the only warm thing they have within miles, we can't get RID OF THEM!"

P.S. Re-education is indeed needed. One might call it, even, deprogramming...

That is another reason not to drill it now. I agree.

Precisely.

There is a good site for anwr info, they debunk the myths propagated by the enviro-wackos, who use lies about the environment to try to wreck our economy. And they have pictures of happy caribou on and near the pipeline.
