People who say "No war for oil!" have no idea what they're talking about. Our economy runs on oil. Fact, not fiction. These are the same people who say no drilling in ANWR because it is a wilderness so beautiful and pristine that they'll never go to it. And we can't drill off the coast of Florida, or California, and, and, and. It's insane. Saying you won't fight a war for resources like oil is like saying you won't fight a war for water. <br /><br />The United States has been sufficiently weakened on the global stage by Obama. Enough.<br /><br />TipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-46528701132451005742014-06-18T13:20:46.581-07:002014-06-18T13:20:46.581-07:00It appears Mr Olympus hath the Kool-Aid drunk from...It appears Mr Olympus hath the Kool-Aid drunk from the factory.<br /><br />"Obama might be cool-headed and rational, ..."

If things get worse and the price spikes up toward $150.00 dreams of social justice will be crashing around our “cool” president."<br /><br />Indeed, what if oil prices rise to $150/bbl? The last time we had this happen we considered $40/bbl as "normal" while now $100/bbl is clearly "normal", so we're looking at a 50% rise event rather than a 180% rise event.<br /><br />President Bush said the war in Iraq wasn't about oil, but clearly it is about oil, and power, and Bush was lying to himself and the American people.<br /><br />If we don't know how to run an economy on $150/bbl, we're clearly not the most powerful nation on earth, but instead the wimpiest, looking for the slightest excuse to whine about how hard life is in a global economy where we buy things from people willing to be paid $1/day while we need $60/day to be considered the poorest of the poor.<br /><br />If we have to spend $1 trillion dollar per year to keep peace on earth, we're going to go broke, and it won't be the world's fault.<br /><br />Keep the cool head Mr. President, there's fools out there who will say anything to weaken the United States, so don't listen to them.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-58973111606613344142014-06-17T10:01:32.283-07:002014-06-17T10:01:32.283-07:00All we're missing is "some damn fool thin...All we're missing is "some damn fool thing in the Balkans."
