If u pay a little attention the "beef" or in other words why they hate us have nothing to do with that. Alzawhahiri the right hand of Bin Laden keeps quoting hostorical facts from when the spaniards kicked out the last muslims from Spain. This guys have a grudge against all religions that is not theirs they think they are the new profets with a mandate to annihilate all non-muslims. Be my guest, keep thinking like that and you will find a big surprise.

I think if we just got out of the region things would be a whole lot better. If you would take note their whole beef was because we were originally in Saudi Arabia. Now we are in Iraq (and apparently for no really good reason). By the way, you have always been free to take a break. I couldn't possible get in your way.

Fuel independence means just that, kkob: not dependent on fuel. Thus, the goal is to not need the 15 million barrels a day. It is not a farce if you are serious about it and you do not let the oil trust extinguish that goal (like they did some 30 years ago). It is not impossible since we are doing it now (ie. solar, nuclear, et. al.). I have been awake for the past 48 years. Where have you been?

yeah the terrorist are gonna declare peace and never buther us again 'cuz we are paying too much for oil please give me a break.

First of all, kkob, sorry for not replying sooner (didn't check back). As of 2004 the US oil consumption was somewhere over 20 million barrels of oil per day and about 11.9 million barrels per day was obtained from foreign sources (i.e. we produce more than 5 million per day). There are numerous measures that could be taken that could reduce this rate. How about we get our military out of the wars we are in and back to peace time consumption. That would save us 40 million barrels a year.

YES!!! Myself, I'm a liberal, but I agree with you. More oil for now, but an investment in clean, alternative energy for the future! We need more people like you!

Hey, Thanks alot,I really appreciate it!!! In my comments I know I've kind of been a dick myself, but I really do want people to realize that we have to think beyond ourselves and our wallets, and realize that the pollution we release hurts our fellow people and future generations, since fossil fuel byprodcts are proven carcinogens. I just don't understand how people can call themselves Christians when they see nothing wrong with pollutig the world God gave us andshare with others. It's selfish!

Has Newt had a near deathh experience that has changd him and we're now supposed to trust that he isn't jsut looking out for Big Business anymore? Come on, this will not make for any cheaper prices at the pumps. It is contraryu to basic economics - WAKE UP! You're getting reamed!

You are confusing things that happen under an administration with cause and effect of long term government policies that have been implemented by liberals. Those policies or lack of have caused higher deficits and higher gas prices. With free trade agreements, more jobs have been imported than exported. Google it.You do not have a clue what you are talking about. No wonder you vote left.

Newt Gingrich was actively fucking his mistress unknown to his wife while he took the high horse trying to bring down Bill Clinton by forcing him to talk about his private sex life under oath. I call Newt a pig because he resembles one and wallows in his own desires and ambitions. Remember his 'Contract ON America'? What a dangerous selfish clown. What an embarrassment to the state of Georgia
