100's o billions spent to clean up da political mess in Iraq

a mess created by GB,US and oil corporations over the last century

would have gone a long way to upgrade the power infrastructure here at home.

Interesting how the "chickens come HOME to roost" ONCE AGAIN!

You asked what does it mean? well, as soon as the blackout occured people were screaming terrorist! all over the internet. Darker days ahead?

To mangle Churchill: the blackout will be gone tomorrow, but Iraq will still be ugly for years to come, that's why.

Getting shot at (and killed) in foreign lands vs. needing to find where you keep your candles. Easy call.

What is means is that you have to keep your priorities straight.

Former energy secretary Richardson (now gov. of N.M.) made the most sense of this. He is OPTOMISTIC cause now this will FORCE Congress to devise and adopt an energy policy something I notice Bush has been HARPING on for MONTHS.
This may reel in the conservationists that keep us from having adequate NUCLEAR power, adequate REFINING CAPACITY, adequate POWER DISTRIBUTION. Frankly, I blame this WHOLE THING ON THEM. jdn
