Anyone see T. Boone Pickens' ad saying that this oil crisis is an emergency and we need to look at alternative sources of energy. And this is from a man that made BILLIONS of $$$ from the oil markets. Stop the dependence on foreign oil and maybe our foreign policy regarding the Middle East will change for the better. However, I'm sure AIPAC doesn't want that.
I didnt know there were so many oil fields in Israel
but you seem to forget Israel's biggest enemies are our biggest oil importers. Consequently they were sheep herders before the oil fields
I assure you Israel is a friend I mean client I mean....not a watchdog for oil producing countries

I don't envision GWB or any of his pals wanting us to give up our dependence on foreign oil either. Through their private equity investments, they make hundreds of millions in the various oil related industries. You know whoelse invests in the private equity funds via the major brokerage houses' Swiss based units? Yep, the oil ministers and royals in the Middle East. The majority of us in this Forum already realize this. The key is for Joe Public to realize they are getting screwed big time as the rich get richer while Mr. and Mrs. Joe P. pay $4.40/gal at the pump.
Let’s play “what if….”
.
What if a devastating aerial attack disabled both the oil production and seaports of Saudi Arabia (not Iran) and there was no production foreseeable for many years?
Oil prices would sky rocket, Western nations would declare an emergency drive towards alternative energy supplies, terrorist organizations and the madrasas would lose all their funding.
The Iraqi government would prosper and hopefully there would be a meeting of the minds on sharing the profits once they see the windfall.
It wouldn’t be all good of course like any major change; there would be deprivations, but such a scenario would change the paradigm that has, not only existed for too many years, but has been the fuel for the Islamics engine.

Yes, the paradigm would most likely change for the better. The problem is that any alternative supply sources wouldn't be useful immediately. The global economy would collapse and we would have serious problems for the have-nots in this country and across the Western World. Then we'd be faced with our own homegrown terrorists and revolutionaries that would garner more support.
It is such a delicate topic, that's why we need to start developing other non-oil using sources now, so we are not faced with a "what if".

You don't know that...and the American people don't believe it either.
Lead, follow...or get the hell out of the way.
you are pathetic... you are clearly a close-minded self-indulgent imperialist jerk off.... leave yourself alone 4 a while you are getting insane... a tree will probably stomp you
:fckmad:
of course it isnt a pretty scenario. Lets try a different one.
the US does prepare for its halt of foreign dependence of oil and it isnt an immediate impact layed out above.
Do you see? It would benefit Israel tremendously.
So unless you think AIPAC doesnt have Israel's best interest at heart and that another debate --
how could you think they would not approve of alternative energy?
Israel sustains itself without Oil. In fact many Israeli firms are leading the way in alternative energy.

The American people dont even know the facts of the issue, which is par for the course for them anyways. I am pretty sure most of them think that if we drill like, one hole in Alaska, the price of oil will go back to 2 bucks a gallon
Its basic economics here. If you increase supply by about 1 percent, the price shouldnt drop by much more than that
