The free flow of oil is vital to our economy, our national security and our present way of life. Finally an honest rightnutwinger, I guess you do not shed any tears for American blood being spilled on the streets of Iraq nor if Israel being wiped of the map as long as US interest is protected.

Securing oil supplies is vital to our economy and national security......that I agree with. What I don't agree with is that Islamic terrorists are a major threat to our national security. We could have secured oil supplies with Iran if we had been smart AND had been willing to make decisions free of Israeli concerns. Heck, we probably could have gotten Iraq's oil if we'd been more patient and less brutish.....AND less inclined to view our foreign economic relationships as a zero sum game.
