Darn that Global Warming

[Donald]

Is the price of oil the main culprit? Your clueless RH...thats as bad as saying George Bush wants $2.50 a gallon gas to enrich his Texas oil buddies.

Its the basic laws of supply and demand. World demand for oil has risen by 24%, driven largely by China. Half educated? No ...Calculated? Yes. Drilling in ANWR or a game of RISK anyone? Let's get on with it.

supply and demand - very funny, Donald, very funny.

massive deposits of the highest grade oil in the world - and you can't get it because your thugs will keep killing the local children.

your cretinous policies have given you a serious problem with importing oil: 1) the world despises you, and 2) you cannot afford it, so you want to embark on a 15+ year programme of hunt-the-oil. Only the oil companies are being a bit negative aren't they ?

curious to recall why Britain needed to control Iraq and Iran in the 1920's - America had got a bit greedy during WWI, overcharging the Royal Navy for its oil, so Britain needed control of Iraqi and Iranian oilfields to avoid being dependent on an unreliable supplier like the Americans (that, incidentally, was Winston Churchill's view).

RH, you are all hung up in the micro...get back to the macro scale of the problem - its the demand...what babies are you referring to, and the children? Yes we are taking care of the thugs who maim their own...women, babies and children I think not.

I think GWB's philosophy on the oil history take would agree with this cowboy's outlook on the future:

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. Its perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"...

You can start with the women and children machinegunned by US soldiers in Fallujah last year (a city which had not then opposed the invasion of Iraq in any way). Peacefully demonstrating because their primary school had been occupied.

The truth about Fallujah will come out, Donald - despite the wilful misinformation spread by people like you.

I see that you are quoting a cowboy who didn't dare to put on a US uniform unless it was on a film set. I believe that Wayne got punched out a few times by American soldiers.

[Donald]

RH's

[Richard Haut]

Save the Arthur Andersen business lesson. Everyone knows how good Bush is at energy planning - especially those who invested in Enron.

Fallujah was the equivalent of the clearing of the Warsaw ghetto by the Nazis - and remember that the ones who behaved like your "soldiers" were not the SS - but the SS Auxilliaries.

There were things that even the SS wouldn't do. You aren't that fussy.

[Donald]

And thank the US for ending the SS atrocities in WWII, or you might not be sitting where you are today. Remember?

From your take on this war on terrorism, it sounds as if you are quoting from a past column entitled "An Army of Scum." whereby it says that the U.S. Army is virtually indistinguishable from the Nazi SS. In fact, it says that the Army needs only one thing to bring it up to moral parity with the Nazis ... and that one thing would be gas chambers.

But wait! RH isn't through. He also calls our soldiers the "American SS" and "war criminals." And who was RH hoping for in this years presidency? Why, JK, of course, who also made comments about his fellow soldiers in Vietnam that were almost as bad.

[Richard Haut]

if you behave like Nazis then don't snivel when you are compared to them.

[Donald]

California's Sierra Nevada Mountains continue to get more and more and more snow. More snow now than at any time in the past 90 years. If someone doesn't do something about this global warming soon we're all gonna die

Donald, please don't waste the community's time.

[Donald]

Virtually every city in the United States East of the Mississippi River is experiencing colder-than-normal temperatures this week. It's that global warming stuff

[Kevin]

Repeat my previous posting in this topic.

[Donald]

And there's a lot of media coverage being given to the idea that the temperature in Antarctica is rising due to global warming. Or is it? Heres a previous "time waster" by Ronald Bailey that says there are two sides to the issue:

Interior Secretary Christy Todd Whitman, interviewed on Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" today, says that the US government is concerned about greenhose gas emissions and is spending more than any other nation on research; she says that the President's refusal to join the Kyoto Accord was a statement to his base that he would "stand strong against the Europeans." She says that this was personally embarrassing, but understands the political motivations.

We have Hugo Chavez threatening to end oil shipments to the U.S. Then we have crude at over $51 a barrel yesterday. Are you folks ready to send the drill rigs to ANWR yet?
