Pigs At It Again? Report: 16 Killed in Attack on China Border Station Monday, August 04, 2008 BEIJING — China's official Xinhua News Agency says an unknown group of people has attacked a border patrol station on the country's frontier with Central Asia, killing at least 16 police officers. The report says the assailants drove two vehicles inside the paramilitary police station in the Kashi region Monday and then threw two grenades. The brief Xinhua dispatch described the attackers as "rioters." The area is home to a Muslim Turkic people, the Uighurs (WEE'-gurs). The Uighurs have waged a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule, with some drawn to the militant Islam that has buffeted Central Asia.

JFShepard, > get used to it, we peaked in 1972. Repeating this falsehood doesn't make it true. Oil prices declined to a minimum in the 90's after the peaks of the Carter administration. And that was well after your imaginary "peak" of 1972. Tenchusatsu

when do you think OS oil would be available if it is found..... Depends on where it is. Do you think it would impact domestic production enough to turn around the consistent drop in production that occured since 1972? No, but it would contribute to mitigating the foreign oil imports. To the extent you can do that it is a good thing. Whether it is 2 years from now or 10. Has no one been drilling since 1972,ie in the last 40 years? No, there has been some amount of drilling. I own land on which drilling has been occurring regularly for the last 10-15 years, and which has numerous producing wells today. Drilling has escalated lately as the price has gone up and we even have wells that were P&A'ed that are being reconsidered. How much do you think we have off shore CA and FLA which is where you wingnuts think the mother lode is?? I know what the estimates are. Geologists apparently think there is a substantial amount of oil available from the OCS and there is no reason for us not to go and get it. No reason at all. *What has been done about the unexplored 67,000,000 acres of leases already owned and not explored?* The 68 Million acres, as it turns out, are nonexistent. This is a liberal lie. The Democrats cannot explain how they came up with that figure, and they can't explain how much oil THEY believe lies beneath that figment of their imagination. You bought it hook, line, and sinker. With regard to the SPR, why can't we keep off shore oil and ANWR as the strategic reserve.... You're talking about a drop in the bucket. The idea of the SPR is to provide some degree of buffer in the event of a major problem like a war, a blockade, a total shutdown of OPEC production or some other event. It is specifically prohibited to use that oil to manipulate prices the way Clinton did in '00. For your info, Bush's comments had squat to do with the small downturn in gas prices....90 billion less miles driven in the last year is the more likely cause.... This is a stupid conclusion. The drop in oil prices started immediately after he took action. The drop in miles driven occurred when oil prices went up. Your argument is devoid of economic sense.
