They need to buy the oil we need. Those offshore drills only provide enough oil for one fifth of our consumption for 5 years. We can never get nature back. But hey who cares as long as we get some of that money. Can't let Russia and Arabs control the oil supply of the World. Only one problem though. If god wanted us to be an oil superpower he would have given us oil within our reach. Sometimes people must accept limitations and be humble. Certain situations we must do that. There is a reason why PRIDE is a sin.

You do realize that other nations are drilling oil in the golf? So even if we stopped all drilling it would just be another nation drilling the oil. Either way nature is still at risk.

You ignored the point. If we stopped drilling the oil rigs will keep pumping and the threat is still there. So we loose out and then have to buy the oil from them even though our coast is still at the same risk. Now if you say stop everyone from drilling oil in the Gulf then thats a different subjet but I don't think Cuba will go for that.

Yes I talked to them last night before I went to bed. They told me to tell the administration to go F*&% off. China then called and told me I better not screw with Cuba because that was their cash cow.
