In my experience, our president has been deceitful to the point that I don't believe anything he says. Based on that I strongly suspect that Bush is pushing for drilling in ANWR for reasons other than the good of the country. I'm also skeptical of environmental groups (heck any group) because I realize that they depend on getting people excited about something real or not in order to further their agenda.

I'd love to reduce our dependance on foreign oil because I believe it will have a direct result in reducing the number of Americans sent to the Middle East to get shot at - people like my brother.
- How bad would drilling in the ANWR really be for the environment?
- I've heard that it will take 10 years before we see any of that oil and it won't be enough to make a difference in the nations oil supply. Obviously, if there is enough oil there that oil companies are willing to invest for 10 years before seeing any return there must be quite a bit of oil.
