Obama's Blood For Oil Policy

Marshall Miller  writes "..We now have 77 percent of all oil reserves are now controlled by governments around the world. Sixty percent of crude oil in the USA is now imported. Have you noticed a steady increase in gas prices lately ? We have numbskulls in the White House who fight all attempts to drill for oil domestically.
 The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) holds the potential to make Alaska the world's 8th largest oil producer. Drilling there would also create 55,000 new jobs and produce a $145,000,000,000 ($145 billion) payroll annually.
 We now have capturable in the USA by today's technology enough oil to last us another 200 to 300 years in oil shale in the United States. We'd not need to import a drop of oil..."

Why is our liberal media not demanding an end to Obama's policy? Why are we sending American boys to die in the hellhole that is the Middle East when it is so uneccesary?

Michael Scheuer  at Non-Intervention.com points out that:

"... It is a reflection on the costs Americans pay for their elite’s relentless interventionism, as well as for the failure of the U.S. educational system. I suggest at the end of the piece that we all could stand to closely reread George Washington’s Farewell Address; indeed, I suspect that Obama, Clinton, McCain, Cantor, Biden, and most of the Congress and media would benefit from an initial reading.

On leaving the presidency, Washington provided a clear and concise guide for what America should not do overseas; namely, (1) do not intervene in affairs in which you have no genuine national interest; (2) do not intervene in issues you do not understand; and, above all, (3) do not intervene in the name of imposing America’s political system on others as we are the model, not the war-causing installer of republicanism and/or democracy.

Had any in our governing class been familiar with Washington’s guidance, the makers of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East for the past half-century would have been preparing always to be ready to ask one simple question and answer it with another simple question:

Question: Who rules in Cairo? (Or Amman, Tunis, Riyadh...etc.)

Answer: Who cares?

Alas, the America-protecting path delineated by President Washington was not taken. As a result, we have just seen Obama’s administration and the Republicans not only intervene in Egypt, but intervene on both sides.."

Maybe that is why our elite rulers have eliminated Washington's Birthday as a National Holiday and lumped him in on "Presidents Day" with imbeciles like Carter,Clinton and Obama.

Our failure to enjoy energy independence so that Wisconsin "teacher" types can feel holier than thou has resulted in our disastrous foriegn policy.

We depend on Middle East dictators and supply them with your tax dollars because we will not use nuclear (unlike the French) nor drill off the coast nor in Alaska.

Soldiers die to appease liberals.

    Thanks again, Elvis. Michael Scheuer is on the nose with his comments : "soldiers die to appease liberals" is true. We need to get out of these hellholes and abolish foreign aid, which is unconstitutional on its face.
