3. So he admitted what we've known all along.

This is one of the reasons WHY we fight so hard to keep ANWR off the table. BECAUSE it is the tip of the ice berg. We KNOW they are liars when they say that's all they want.
It's always been about chipping away little by little till you have it all.

Testing the waters, foot in the door, etc. etc.

Delay just vindicated all us "Eco-Nazi's"

5. Fuck I hate Delay...

In that fuckwads world, the environment doesn't matter, Leviticus is the Law, and Taiwan is the home of China's legitimate government in exile as oppose to a country and therefore the fascist KMT should run the show.
