"There's too little oil off the US coast to have much effect on the world market. As the earth's climate warms, the federal government should be promoting conservation and identifying alternatives to fossil fuels - not just because rising demand from China and India makes oil ever more expensive, but because the welfare of the planet depends on it.
Like these WAR-PROMOTING PROPAGANDISTS care about the welfare of the planet!!!
That's not what their "news" coverage is about, and just following them for a year proves it!!!!
I just get tired of the lying, folks.
See: No Proof of Global Warming in Polar Regions
Not saying we shouldn't have better energy; however, I'm tired of the global-warming cult, and you will see why if you look for Laura Bush on my blog today.
McCain once knew this. In an interview at the Globe in December, he deplored the Bush administration's record on global warming, saying "history will judge them very harshly." Six months later, he wants to drill for more fossil fuel. The old McCain would judge this new McCain harshly, too."
Of course, that is an editorial few will read.
On the FRONT-PAGE is the OLD WAR HERO!!!
".... These legacies of the Vietnam war became signature causes of McCain's first decade in politics and helped to build his reputation as a conciliator unfazed by past antagonisms....
Excuse me?
Is that why McCain said this?
WTF, readers?
The MSM!!! THEY LIE BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
And here is something that does not bode well for the antiwar movement, should McCain be installed as president, because there ain't no way he wins in a fair vote.
McCain did not easily leave behind all his wartime grievances. He questioned the credibility of David Stockman, a conservative Reagan administration budget director, for having participated in student peace protests. "As Mr. Stockman was a member of the antiwar movement during the Vietnam conflict, I do not believe he should be the individual to evaluate military pay, benefits, and entitlement," McCain wrote to a constituent.
After McCain learned that antiwar activists Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden had been VIP attendees at a 1983 space-shuttle launch, he drafted a letter to White House aide Ken Duberstein protesting the "atrocity" and demanding that NASA's director "be held accountable."
"The fact that those two people who were responsible for so much agony and suffering upon my fellow POW's should be invited guests by this Administration is beyond my comprehension," McCain wrote.
Initially, however, McCain largely avoided the most contentious clash over Vietnam's legacy: the fate of American service members never recovered in Southeast Asia....
Vietnam assumed a prominent place on McCain's legislative agenda after he was elected to the Senate in 1986. With Representative Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, a combat veteran, McCain introduced a resolution to open a diplomatic office in Hanoi, a move Reagan opposed.
Is that the same Tom Ridge who led the Phoenix assassination program and later became Homeland Security Director?
"Ridge was stationed in a coastal village in South Vietnam where his company was involved in what his office delicately refers to as the Army's "pacification" campaign. Pacification was the CIA's reader-friendly word for its extermination of civilian opposition to the US war machine in South Vietnam. Another alias for pacification was the Phoenix Program. It routinely involved sweeps through hamlets to make mass arrests, brutal interrogations, the destruction of villages, napalming of rice fields and wide-spread assassination."
Yeah, it is. Why is/was the U.S. government staffed with a bunch of war criminals?
Later, McCain played a key role with Senator John Kerry on the Senate committee that in early 1993 concluded there was "no compelling evidence that proves that any American remains alive in captivity in Southeast Asia." A year later the United States lifted an economic embargo against Vietnam, a step toward full normalization in 1995....."
All those dead people (58k American, 2-4 MILLION Vietnamese, with chemical warfare waged), and FOR WHAT?
FOR WHAT? We trading partners now?
This gonna be Iraq in forty years, if we make it?
