Yeah it was.

• Drilling is pointless because the United States has only 3 percent of the world’s oil reserves
• The oil companies aren’t using the leases they already have
• Drilling is environmentally dangerous

There is little doubt that Americans WILL support MORE domestic oil and gas production if they want to preserve their lifestyle of today’s big vehicles either commuting,tourism or towing their boats to the oceans, rivers and lakes. Truck transport will continue to require fuel for the business community.

The increasing economies of China and India will bid up the price of offshore derived oil.

So, what does the United States do?

Americans WILL support environmentally friendly domestic oil, shale oil and natural gas production while the market develops alternative and renewable fuels. The waiting game and stall of the radical environmental movement has been exposed and is not credible. Beating up on President Bush with a caricature may make the radical Lefties feel good about themselves and their BDS, but is irrelevant.

It is time to move forward with a comprehensive energy plan that maintains the American economy and our quality of life.

While President Bush is hanging out with the American athletes in China, Vladimir Putin heads to North Ossetia to lead the invasion of American supporting democratic Georgia.

Now, the President warns Russia to pull back in Georgia.

A little late to the dance - as usual for Bush.

Not good.

The United States must take serious action against the Russians, including Russian expulsion from the G-8, exclusion from the World Trade Organization and acceleration of missile defense systems in Poland and Czech Republic. NATO should immediately invite Ukraine to apply for NATO membership and fast track the acceptance into the organization.

Meanwhile, the United States should immediately initiate trade sanctions, including bank sanctions with the Russians and tighten visa requirements to travel to the United States.

And, if Bush cannot raise to the task then he should get out of the way and let Dick Cheney run the country.

Interesting how they are NOW taking credit for success.

Will American voters realize this or is there Iraq War and Bush fatigue?

Team McCain said al-Maliki was playing domestic politics and the LEFT said “The One” had been correct about the Iraq War all along.

Now, the astute AP is talking about a SQUEEZE by Iraq politicians.

The Iraqi prime minister’s seeming endorsement of Barack Obama’s troop withdrawal plan is part of Baghdad’s strategy to play U.S. politics for the best deal possible over America’s military mission.

The goal is not necessarily to push out the Americans quickly, but instead give Iraqis a major voice in how long U.S. troops stay and what they will do while still there.

It also is designed to refurbish the nationalist credentials of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who owes his political survival to the steadfast support of President Bush. Now, an increasingly confident Iraqi government seems to be undermining long-standing White House policies on Iraq.

You think?

The truth is without President Bush remaining steadfast on his Iraq War policy and John MCCain actively supporting the SURGE, the Iraq War would not have been won.

Will American voters remember?

Or care?
