Youssef Ibrahim’s idea to invade the middle east for their oil is absolute lunacy. I could understand it being rattled around as an option if we in the U.S. had explored and depleted our own reserves first, and we were on our last leg and foundering…….then it could be debated. But BEFORE we’ve drilled our own oil, in Alaska, etc? Hell, we buy 15% or so of our oil from Canada. The LEAST we could do is aggressively pursue OUR OWN oil. But no, the Democrats have prevented this, and 41 Dem Senators have filibustered this, for 30 years. Why doesn’t Ibrahim mention this as our first and only sane alternative right now?! If Norway didn’t aggressively take advantage of their own natural resources for energy for their own use and to sell to other countries, they would be economic toast. They’d have a meltdown. And they’re a pretty clean country. We have to do that too, but the Libs ignore the example of other countries.
