The Drill

Our President has just seven months left, and 70 some percent of the American population is breathing a collective sigh of relief, but . . . he apparently wants to go out with a memorable bang! He's been in Europe trying to get "allies" to help flush out Bin Laden before he leaves office. He's discussed Iran and Iraq and now he's back trying to make sure there is new controversy where Congress and oil prices are concerned. The oil companies say it is not greed! The king of Saudi says he is going to release more oil. So what is the big deal to create a conflict where Congress is concerned? My guess is, it's time, yet again, for another shell and marble game! After seven years, we're all familiar with it. Which shell is the marble under? It's the most basic and oldest con game going and this administration is absolutely masterful at doing it, and repeating it, and repackaging it and doing it again! If the king of Saudi is going to produce and release more oil, what's the sudden urgency now? ANWR has been off limits since the Reagan days. And according to some pundits, even if there was more oil, there are no refineries to handle it . . . so another moot point. There is yet another issue to this topic. The Bush family has been in the oil business, back to the days of association with John Hinkley's dad. The Hinkley situation, aside, according to everything I've read from our President's interests and attempts at entrepreneurialism, George W. drills dry holes.
So, really this is about instigating and initiating another "blame game" for the new democratic Congress, and with each situation, we participate, while the groundwork is laid to do what? . . . Declare war on Iran? Betray Israel with the real deal that's been planned? Liberate more Iraqis right out of their homes and country? Run rough shod over Musharraf in Pakistan? Or is it just one more attempt to divide the country with red and blue?
A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere . . . a Proverb of Holy Scripture
