Black Gold or Yellow Gold?

Cheap shots at Bush are popular right now but fail to deal with his repeated requests to an ignorant congress that supply of crude oil needs to be developed in ANWAR and off the continental shelf. There was an energy policy and congress simply failed repeatedly to act on it. If you think things are bad now just check back in 4 years of a Democrat in the White House and you will REALLY see the US trashed! By the way, Iraq was all about the threat of weapons of mass destruction (not finding them doesn't count unless all administrations can turn the clock back and revise history). The three books by Bernstein only mentioned the word "oil" three times - it was NEVER about oil - that's just conspiracy theorising..... too much nasty political prejudice in these posts which takes a bit away from otherwise wise concerns over peak oil and the disaster to come!
