Back when I was ten or so, my parents took us to see a movie (I think it was a James Bond movie, but I have never been able to figure out which one) that featured someone who used a kite-like hang glider to escape from a burning building. He grabbed the edges and held on, flying out of the building and landing safely, after which he brushed off his dinner jacket and straightened his bow tie and left the scene, under the very eyes of the people who were trying to capture him.

Some are critical of Obama because he says that visiting Iraq, consulting with Generals and troops on the ground might influence his opinions. Would it be better if he stated that no facts, and no opinion, no matter how well-informed, will ever cause him to modify his position on Iraq? Do we really want a leader with the mindset, "I've said what I said and that settles it once and for all."? Obama prefers a timetable for troop withdrawal. That preference puts him at odds with the Republican establishment that equates a timetable with surrender.

Facts about ANWAR Oil Drilling and Refinery Usage |

According to the latest USGS Alaska Wildlife Reserve survey, the best case senerio would lead to an extraction of 16 billion barrels of oil. That’s 2.11 years worth of oil, assuming we could get it all out of the ground, which never quite happens. Once the ANWR oil reached peak production, the benefit would provide a 50 cent drop in the barrel price. That benefit would last for about 3 years. A report issued by the Energy Information Administration said that if congress gave the go-ahead, drilling went smoothly and peak production was reached on schedule by around 2025, the result would be that the US could import 66 percent of its oil from abroad, rather than 70 percent. These figures indicate that ANWR drilling would not significantly relieve our dependence on foreign oil.
