Folks the best thing we can do to respond to the Russians in Georgia is to get our own house in order.

Consider: Russia, already a major oil exporter, has taken action to secure control over part of Venezuela’s oil, has influence over Iran’s oil due to being Lord Protector of that country in the UN and the source of nuclear expertise. Now Russia has cut off Georgia’s oil thoroughfare, perhaps temporarily, but they know they can reimpose it any time – and who knows what the conditions of the final settlement will be.

Russia is trying to become its own OPEC, and is well on the way to succeeding.

Against all this, Nancy Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s desperate machinations to prevent access to the U.S.’s own untapped oil supplies have all of the significance of a child’s tea party with her doll collection as the guests – a tea party being given in Warsaw in August 1939.

The best thing we can do to upset Russia’s plans is to get our affairs in order here at home. And if that means introducing the Democratic party leadership to some nice safe rubber rooms, that’s fine. To me their timing looks more than a little suspicious. Useful Idiots, indeed.
