And that is not just “Hooey” to your denial but “Phooey” as well.

It's the word pillage that I object to. It suggests the taking of booty. Oil is a world commodity which we buy on the open market at the same price as everyone else. Our major suppliers are our neighbors Canada and Mexico. The Saudis come in third.

It isn't as if these yahoos in Congress are preserving our own resources for future use. No, they want us to wait until "alternative" energy sources have been perfected and use no oil at all.
