CyaNeos, Those are some of the dumbest arguments I’ve read in awhile. First I’m sure our military is much more relieved now they know they are a police force. In war occupation is part of it. You don’t take a hard won hill then just leave. How about France, should we have won on D-Day and said; “we won, now lets leave”? The war in Iraq is won so we need to help the Iraqi government take hold. Now they seem to be getting confidence and spreading their wings. Give peace a chance? That won’t happen if we pull out and leave them to the mercy (strange use of the word) of their neighbors. As far as drilling goes we have billions of gallons to tap into. Just think if we started 10 years ago we wouldn’t be having this conversation and if we didn’t have the supply as you claim, and we now how much of an expert you are in this field, then we would definitely know by now. Alternative energy is to far down the road to help now and yes it would have been nice if we started a few decades ago but we didn’t so we have to get it going now and that’s one thing I’m sure we all can agree on. If the democrats didn’t keep beating the republicans in the head with the “green stick” at every turn and using it to stop oil exploration, drilling and refinement, in the past 20 years we wouldn’t be in this boat now so let me just say “GOOD GOING PEOPLE” thanks for screwing us. And don’t bring up the acreage the oil companies lease now that has been explained enough. So now write back and shout me down, call me names, accuse me of working for Halliburton; tell me I don’t care about the environment or “Global warming”. Isn’t that is how you liberals work?
