Danny lives in Canada and cant be expected think things through. Go easy on him. Well said though. Very common behavior for the congress. As for ANWR, I could easily see how its related to national defense. More domestic oil means more GDP, and less dependence on foreign oil.

I'm hardly going to defend Danny here, however, your insult to me cannot be overlooked.

I too live in Canada, so I guess I can't be expected to think things though either.

By your words you shall be known.

As for "more oil", ANWR is a mere drop in the bucket of US oil consumption. The USA has never been dependent upon any Middle Eastern oil.

Canada, Mexico and Venezuela supply almost all of US oil imports. Given that Canada has now officially been moved to the #2 spot on the world's listing of proven reserves, I don't think the USA has any strategic weakness in their oil supply.

However, if jackass Americans keep insulting Canada as often as they do, perhaps you just might end up with some long term supply problems here...
