they're missing the point,
perhaps on purpose. But that said, our concern shouldn't be the price of gas. It should be energy independence. Then the Putins, Chavez's and Saudis can go hang themselves. Wake up Libs, our future is at stake. Drill now!

i'd love to see this bunch lose their grip on civilized nations. that will only happen through genuine oil independence.
but isn't it amazing how putin became so vibrantly concerned with human rights violations against a group of people sitting on top of a vital pipeline?

And if we let them return to Cuba to resume military ties and to drill oil in the Gulf, well, they'll be a lot closer to Atlanta.

Phew!
For a minute there I thought Richmond would be next. Georgia (the former commie version) is a prime source of high quality mud and rocks, vital to any growing economy.
I guess Putin figured it was easier to explain missing the pipeline after watching us try explain the Belgrade Chinese Embassy.
Your conclusion is dead on accurate. Even with the pump price declining this is just one of many reasons to begin drilling, shale processing, nuclear and uses other sources as they become viable.
Now would also be a good time to end our addiction to corn in the gas tank. Milk is north of $4.50 and rising.
FREE THE CORN!
Put in back where it belongs. In a box of Frosted Flakes!

This only adds to
the common sense cals for more drilling, more nuclear, and more of every type of power. Having said that, I have a hard time with simply letting Russia destroy an ally of ours and drill ourselves out of their shadow. I think we ought to fasttrack Georgia and Ukraine into NATO and do a massive airlift of weapons and supplies like we did for Israel in 73.

if we do such a thing, we move into potential conflict w/russia, a nuclear power. super dangerous stuff, and we can't really afford it now (which is why THEY DID IT NOW)...

We need to do something that will make this violation of international law costly for the Putinites. If we don't we are looking at a very dangerous situation. Ultimately the solution to the Putin menace is sharply lower oil prices. We all know how to achieve that, unless we're Democrats.

We don't have the resources to committ to another war. we also don't have the will. Try to get a resolution past Reid and Pelosi. Not a chance. they look for any excuse to weaken our country.

we sure don't. look at this.
"So many United States troops are now deployed to so many different places around the world that the American military may be in danger of overextension."
(cs monitor on my blog, too). And that's 2003.

actually, aren't there still some there?
if they're still there, it's because of actions pursued by hillary clinton in her first two terms in office.
and she said she didn't care if there were troops in bosnia for the next 100 years. and then, her opponents used that on her and said she was a war mongerer. she argued that she was a peacekeeping mongerer, and the media agreed and left her alone.

I don't actually know. I doubt it. But the same stupid beaurocracy that is still collecting taxes levied to pay for the Spanish-American War is capable of anything.
