To relieve their economic woes, a very small soveriegn country declares war on the US in hopes of being defeated and rebuilt with US taxpayer money.
I had been following that Petrobras deal and found it follows a line of coincidence. Obama declares no offshore drilling for ethical and moral reasons and then decides to loan millions of taxpayer money to Brazil's Petrobras to use for deepwater offshore drilling. Forget the Soros connection, the inconsistency in policy is startling. This is akin to banning DDT in the US while selling it for use in South America.
In another head scrtaher Obama declares he will support offshore drilling, in theory only, and then we have a monsterous oil spill and a moratorium. This is the stuff of conspiracy.
Interesting line of thought that being cut off from our foeign oil supply will drive us to alternative energy. The other side of that coin is being cutoff will drive us to more offshore drilling in the US.
Of course alternative energy needs to be highlighted but not at the cost of destroying our economy and quality of life.
Drill baby, drill ! Why would we sacrifice our service men and women to die in a war where we finance the enemy through our oil and illegal drug purchases. We have all the oil we need within arms reach. Tremendous fuel savings have been realized within the the last 20 years with the use of electronic fuel injection and overdrive transmissions. We need to reduce our oil dependance further without destroying our economy.
Personally, I can't wait when Venezuela and the entire OPEC is going to stop selling oil to us. That way we won't have a choice but to start investing in alternative fuels and we'll finally break free from the grip of all those nasty regimes like Saudi Arabia, with whom we are forced to be "friends".

Great-
Buy it elsewhere.
I think someone needs to tell Chavez that oil is a common commodity, not a scarce tactical resource.
Chavez, does what any other politician did when they happened to have something US desperately needs. His "threats" are a great indicator of what is happening to the price of oil. When he talks big, it means the cost is going up, when he starts talking about patching up the relations with Washington - its going down.
Saddam no he was a sadistic evil dictator. But that did not give us the right to invade a sovereign country and despose of him under lies and deception by the Bush administration.
