Iraq was not about
oil. I have my own opinions, but they are just that..My opinions. That does not mean that I pretend to know all the facts, nor do any of us here on CC. I would hope our National Security would be a tad tighter than that. We only know what the White House wants us to know.
I do believe we need to become "more" energy efficient. The days of driving a huge SUV to Starbucks to pay $8.50 for a cup of coffee is over. That does not mean I believe we can become independent overnight. That would be a foolish statement. But we have got to start doing something. OPEC has had the US and the world over a "Barrel" long enough. They will continue as long as, We The People, let them.
