@Fletcher

What are you smoking?

- POTUS cannot repeal laws
- Then 1 barrel would cost $10,000
- There is a joint US-EU-Japan project for fusion with $40 billion budget, whats your paltry 500 million going to do?
- $1000 for 1kw of energy, sorry but I pay 11 cents
- $10,000 for 1kw delivered from out space, shouldn’t we just get more of that $1000/kw bargain pricing?

Given the above, I think Bush just might appoint you the new secretary of DOE? Did you ever organize a horse-race event? It might be a good qualification.

A pretty thorough Fisking of the woefully misinformed Fletcher, who is as knowledgable on energy and economics on the Right as Pelosi is on the Left.

Cannoneer No. 4,
If I were the Georgians, as I dig in to a war of guerrilla opposition I would make Georgia a death trap for the Russian Army and especially for the Ossetian pigs (a criminal, gangster enclave in the Caucasus if there ever was one)who carry out this rapine of Georgia. Take no prisoners and make it especially cruel for the Ossetians.

More clueless, saber-waving stupidity from “take no prisoners!” Fred. No doubt wearing his little tin helmet and inspired be his bellicose Neocon heroes..Yeah, talk about death traps and how cruel to make it for Ossetians, who haved lived there since the Mongol Invasions and existed as an autonomous Oblast under Russia.

==============================
CJM – cjm:
why not make it overt; openly sink every ship, openly shoot down every plane, openly blast every tank — that moves one inch past russia. pin them up in a smaller and smaller space. arm every savage that hungers for russian blood. how is that worse than now?
yes they *might* launch their nukes.

Another Neocon warmonger dumber than a sack of hammers calling for WWIII to start by America starting direct war against Russia over a small nation that launched a follish attack and is getting bitch-slapped for it by the Big Dog in the region.
A nation we have no defense treaty with.
Like with Fred, the stupidity of someone calling for WWIII to start over this regional clash is breathtaking.
