This is true, the military is using a LOT of fuel for the War in Iraq. we are pumping tons and tons of money over there, what are we getting in return? Dead and maimed troops. it is a travesty this Iraq war.

One of my son's friends is an Independent Trucker and the price of diesel is killing him. He is also a drummer in a group that plays on weekends, so he can make a few extra bucks doing that.


The thing that gets me is when Bush says they haven built any new refineries in 30 years. Why is that? I'm tired of them using the "greenies" excuse. If they really wanted to push it, they would have and said the heck with the greenies. The realy reason my guess would be to keep prices going up for oil.

I heard today that Bill Clinton didn't want to drill for our own oil years ago because he said it would take 10 yrs before we could take advantage of it.. well now here we are.


Refinaries.. I don't know why we don't build more but It seems no one wants one in their back yard ? I don't know..

There's a new refinery being built about 50 minutes from where I live, not sure when it's going to be finished but it's going up.
