With "elected" Iraqi's finding it hard to agree on a cabinet, there's is little hope of Iraqi oil barrels rolling in to help the supply driven side of our fuel price predicament any time soon. And even if drilling in ANWR was passed today (one of the keys to this administration's "energy policy"), it wouldn't provide its 3% of our oil needs for another 10 years. So its no wonder the president had the Saudi prince over for ribs at the "Western White House" (their words not mine). Maybe the fact that they're eating ribs and dogs at Camp Crawford will be enough to calm oil markets that reached record highs in April ($58.28 per gallon). Or maybe, just maybe, we should all start buying hybrids, a trend that seems to be taking off.
There seems to be no help from Iraq on the reasons we invaded, either. US inspectors, aka The Iraq Survey Group, found "no evidence" the weapons of mass destruction, that there was no evidence saddam had possession of, were moved into Syria. So much for that reason to invade Syria, which is a good thing considering the Syria national army's numbers will no doubt increase with the removal of troops from Lebanon. Once again, the search for Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq has been declared over. Will the people responsible for the misleading Us into this horrible mistake of a war ever be held responsible for their deeds or will they just continue to be allowed to make more mistakes? $300,000,000,000.00 invested and soldiers still have to complain, in public, for more armor. To quote Senator Robert Byrd "Shame.... What a shame."
What Lott, Delay, Frist and the boys have found, in lieu of WMD, are OGD (Options of Governmental Destruction). Going against public opinion, the red army continues its threats to destroy the last check a minority party has against a president whose party is in the majority. At issue, currently, the 10 judicial nominees out of 215 that have not been approved by the Senate. 205 judges have been approved already. Seven of the ten are being sent back to the Senate for a second time. There was the fleeting hope of a compromise between Senators Reid and Frist, but the president's deputy chief of staff was the first righteous red to set that record straight. The "nuCLEar option" could turn future judicial nominees into presidential appointments. With an ailing and aging Supreme Court, the anti-choice, anti-gay, pro gun reds see this as a real opportunity to stack the life term courts. Maybe that's what gannon/guckert has been working on during his visits to Our White House when no press events were scheduled, the president wasn't home and without the knowledge of the Secret Service. We may never know the truth, but we should never stop asking for it.
"if they insist on persisting with these filibusters, I'm perfectly prepared to blow the place up. No problem."
- Senator Trent Lott
Sounds like a threat to a Federal Building to me. Book 'em Homeland Security.
