Blood-For-Oil, The Continuing Story.

For the archived audio rant, CLICK HERE.

========================================

Well, isn't this nice. How pleasant for our Congressional leaders that they have chosen to go on their cheery, 5 week summer vacation while our troops, who are stuck in the Middle East, enforcing the congressional Blood For Oil program are hot, tired and would, probably, like to go on a 5 week vacation of their own.

According to the liberals I receive emails from, the war in the Middle East is all about oil and the “Big Oil Men” which populate the Executive Branch of our government. These misguided emailers will waste no time in letting you know that the United States military presence in the Middle East is for the sole purpose of protecting United States oil interests there so that these “Big Oil Men” can make more money.

However, the covers of this bit of legerdemain have been pulled, exposing this assertion for what it is - a feeble attempt to blame Bush and Cheney for the inaction of Congress.

In a continuing attempt to keep the United States tethered to Middle East oil, Congress has, once again, refused to deal with the problem of our entanglements there and, instead of passing a comprehensive domestic energy plan, has ensured our continuing presence there by going on their 5 week vacation, thereby serving notice on our military that their stay in the Middle East will be a long one and they can expect no help from Congressional Democrats in bringing them home.

NO FIVE WEEK VACATIONS FOR OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OVERSEAS!

The only remaining obstacle to the domestic development of our substantial energy resources in the United States lies in Congress and their insistence that the United States continues to sacrifice our energy independence, as well as our brave soldiers, to finance terrorist activities and the bullets of our enemies with our foreign petro-dollars.

Have a good time on your summer vacation Congress, lots of golf, quality time with your family and good food. Our service men and women in the middle east will keep the pipeline of, increasingly, expensive oil open for you and your private jets.

Blood For Oil, it’s the Congressional way.

Yes, I do believe that "oil" is the main reason why this war is still a "war." So sad...I think we, Americans are still to face more hardship because of the interest of the "rich."
What can we do?

Regarding our California governor, and state employees and state budget...I think he did this to put congress to act soon, but NOPE, they are going on vacation! It did not work Governor.

So, Lorraine, Joe...where would be our next step? Where do we go?

Lourdes, the problem is with Congress and their cavalier attitude regarding domestic development of the energy resources of the United States.

Write your U.S. Senators (Boxer and Feinstein) and Representatives and tell them how angry you are that Congress abandoned their responsibilities to their constituents by NOT passing a domestic energy plan prior to their vacation.

Until the Democrats get off of their lazy asses and lift the ban on domestic oil exploration and drilling as well as alternate energy sources, the Congressional Blood For Oil program will be in force.

Conservation can only do so much and then we go back to living by candle light and horse and buggy.
