Yes, and if Obama allowed the domestic oil companies to begin drilling where they wanted 5 years ago, we would be 3/4 of the way to becoming totally independent.
They should have started fracking too.
If we send missiles now it will be over Obama's pride as much as it would be over oil.
So he should start, what could well be WW 111, over pride?

Not to the degree we could. Not that it alone would make us 100% independent.
My point was pretty clear, we are now 5 years behind in drilling that would have gotten us much closer to energy independence.


Obama wants to have our military get him out of the corner he painted himself into.
So what is the strategy , and what is the anticipated result? What is the end result?
The UN isn't even finished their inspection and he is talking military action. He is willing to go it alone without the British. How many of the 20 countries that backed us going after wmd in Iraq are going to back us now?
Even Carter has stated unless we are in imminent danger the president must get the approval of Congress. Joe Biden is on record saying that he would personally lead the impeachment of a President who, before making military strikes, didn't get Congressional approval.
Is military action way too much, or way too soon? What ever happened to the infamous do all be all, leftist negotiating table? I guess ya just can't negotiate from weakness.

A lot of tracking going on, a lot of drilling for oil as well. Some people just don't have a taste for observation...

The irony of it all, a Nobel Peace Prize winner starts a war that could
very well end all wars because there will be no one left to fight.

With a late poll showing 80% of those polled are against an attack,
if he were smart he'd call in a session of Congress and have it voted on.
But as the old saying goes, "Pride goeth before the fall."

or that this is a President who has either continued or taken to a whole new level nearly everything that he vilified and demonized his predecessor for doing during the course of his campaign for the office, this would simply be par for the course in terms or irony and hypocrisy with this guy don't know why we'd expect anything less(or more) at this point
