Strbe30 Re..Canada has made it clear it opposes Dubya's "exploitation" of the ANWR (a very appropriate word) and we do have a treaty that forces the US to take our advice under consideration.. <<<<<<<<<

Advice which could be compromised by the fact that Canada sells a lot of energy to the US; so it is in your economic interests to keep us from drilling ANWR. However, if the oil was on your side of the border,and your oil companies were making money of of it, just like your other artic oil platforms, you can bet Canada would deep six the caribou also.

but in the end, this is your fight... It will be up to the people to let Congress know this isnt acceptable.


Scott,

I think the fight is already lost....he's holding the threat of power shortages throughout the country and the potential loss of jobs over everyone's head. Like I said before, CA's ineptness plays right into his hand.

This is not a Clinton...he does not want to do what's best for the country but what's best for him and his party's supporters. Naturally, people will fight it but a worsening economic slowdown will make it very difficult.

The worst part about this is that he's not even clever...and he knows it. He's created just enough uncertainty and chaos in the 3 mos he has been in office to pull this one off.
