The Diane Rehm show is having a wide-ranging discussion about the administration's decision to allow limited coastal drilling for oil. The first of the listeners' comments is striking.
I found it interesting that Obama spoke in front of an F-18. Considering that the the military consumes more petrolium than any other sector of our economy and could not exhist without ever expanding quantities of the stuff Obama seems to be saying that we are willing to suck the planet dry and use what ever force it takes to fuel the largest military machine the world has ever seen. If we shrunk our military we wouldn't be so desperate for ever more petrolium.
Yup. No question about that.
