1. I'll bet Halliburton is already there assessing the damage.
And I'm not kidding.

3. Wait till we get the bill for them helping start a war with Iran.
I wonder what PNACK will be charged. Really matter as we tax payers will have to pay...at least our children will...if there is anything left of them.

4. Nope. The United States "strongly supports" Israel, not Lebanon.
We'll leave the rebuilding of Lebanon over to the "international community" and their taxpayers while we continue to enrich Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other pro-Muslim, oil-rich nations with our dollars so that they can, in turn, continue to fund more terrorists to attack the United States, and Israel.

Supply and demand economics, right?

And what's more profitable than endless war?

That's why the world believes that America's unconditional support of Israel is so hypocritical.

But who cares what they think, right?

6. while we continue to enrich Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other pro-Muslim, oil-
you would think we'd be seeking our own reserves but Bush it too busy putting dirty money in his pockets.

7. What part of the US do you think has significant oil reserves?
A decade of drilling oil in ANWR would yield less than 6mo worth of oil for the US - so where do YOU think there's a significant amount to drill?

Seems to me alternative research would yield greater longterm results than spending all those billions to drill in the US.

8. I don't think we can drill our way to energy independence, and we
...really need to stop using fossil fuels for all our energy needs for so many reasons, but mainly, to stop giving money to hostile, fundamentalist groups and nations that want to harm us, and Israel.

We need to invest more money, time, and effort into alternative energy resources a la Brazil.

It's our only way out of endless wars, pollution, global warming, unemployment...oh jeezus! So many, many things...
