The Teamsters guy is wrong. Kerry is for some drilling, but not in the wildlife refuge. In fact, nobody but a few oil execs even know if there's oil there. The tests they did are highly confidential.

The Teamsters are now backing Kerry, yet Cheney-Bush once made a deal with them to guarantee them 10,000 jobs if they supported ANWAR drilling. The Teamsters were greedy but soon realizing Cheney-Bush were pulling their chain. No one knows how much (if any) oil is up there or how many jobs it would create. Besides, moderate Republicans followed Kerry's lead to stop the drilling. The day we have to drill in marine or wildlife refuges is the day we need to stop and change our energy policies toward clean renewables, no matter what it takes.
