My plan: nuclear power, electric cars, lots of outlets. Send the waste to Mexico, it's about time they held up their end of NAFTA. Free Trade, as in we give you our nuclear waste for free.

Our official government policy has created most of our problems both per oil and the Middle East. Blaming the people over there is like a hunter b!tching because after he shot and killed 700 geese the damn things ran him out of shells!
If I understand you correctly, the middle east muslims are peace loving people who on ly do something bad when forced to by us. Is that what you're saying?

Are you also saying that only a select few are rich from oil money? If so, can you provide ANYTHING to back this up beyind the musings of your damaged brain?

Are you the one guy who voted that he's rather freeze & starve in the dark?

I like this idea. But to do this we'd have to kill all the lefties. They'd be protesting from coast to coast, chaining themselves to gates & what not.

Send the lefties along with the nuclear waste, just to make sure it doesn't dribble out along the way.

In my limited vision, taking it is only part of it. Are you going to be willing to fend off all the other petroleum-centric countries in the world as their desire/need for the oil increases as they try by force to get some for themselves? Do you think we are the only country willing to take up arms to ensure an oil supply?

Once we take it, we'll sell it to everyone else. It's a win-win!

Fort McMurray Alberta is often called "Fort Mac" for short. Its northern alberta and the "mining" resource would be the oil sands. Its currently being "mined".

Is this the Fort Mac you are talking about LubeMaster?

So at least the lefties had the integrity to vote honestly. Only one voting for freezing & starving in the dark. Maybe we need another poll to guess who it is.

Mule, why do you ignore what is posted and instead go off on a gibberish laden rant instead of addressing what was said? Here was my post:

"By they do you mean the average people of those nations or do you mean the puppet governments that we often set up and support?

Or do you think that Shah Pahlavi and the scummy Royal Family were/are part of that great "freedom...democracy" that our kids are over there dying for?

Our official government policy has created most of our problems both per oil and the Middle East. Blaming the people over there is like a hunter b!tching because after he shot and killed 700 geese the damn things ran him out of shells!"

Now.....if you read slowly and look real close there are two specific questions in there along with a comment at the end. But instead of even trying to answer or reply to any of the three you revert to form with goofball assumptions of "starve and freeze" nonsense.

Tell you what: you reply with facts (that means devoid of your opinion) to the two questions and the comment and then I'll respond to the "starve and freeze" impossibility that you mention.

But I truly doubt that you have the guts to even try to debate it per facts since even you might realize that you are riding another dead horse on this deal. But good luck if you do happen to locate enough intestinal fortitude to attempt it.

Please explain how "taking it" makes us any different from Saddam or any of the world's despots that we so despise????

So our money & modernism has hurt them more than stonings, honor killings, legalized rape, etc?

'Cause A we had agreements to buy it that they nullified when they nationalized and B they are using oil to wage economic warfare. Are you really this stupid?

For some strange and unknown reason...you once again have failed the "how to navigate a question" procedure.

Gee, I wonder why?

Tell ya what...forget replying to all three that I posed...just try replying logically to one of them. Here you go:

"By they do you mean the average people of those nations or do you mean the puppet governments that we often set up and support?"

List the "agreements" that were "nullified" and the source?

BTW, I do realize that this is another of those ever pesky specific questions and requests that seem to be a conundrum for you. But good luck just in case you grow some balls.

BTW genius, for every dollar's worth of goods that China buys from the USA we send 600 percent more to China for their products. So maybe you have the wrong target per your "economic warfare" scenario.

Now of course, answer that by saying "ragheads are evil" or "WalMart needs China" as you normally do.

Or.............surpise everyone and actually present some facts, logic, or truth. Would that not be a novel approach?

Your mental disease has apparently advanced to the point where your ramblings are nonsensical. Either that or you're loaded.
