Energy independence most important priority

Subject: txt engry -
Here’s an interesting (and very likely) prognostication: Some time in the very near future Iran will be in possession of a nuclear weapon and Israel’s hand will be forced. Strike preemptively or be struck. Either way, the result will be a conflagration in the Middle East that will stop access to oil not just from Iran, but also from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The result will be a worldwide shortage of oil from which nations like Russia, Mexico and Venezuela will benefit, while the rest of the world finds itself in a catastrophic social and economic tailspin.

What is the Obama Administration doing to mitigate the effects of this eventuality?

Hmm, let’s see; they are attempting to pass cap and trade legislation, looking to spend trillions on the development of unconventional energy sources, while at the same time prohibiting exploration and drilling for new sources of oil within the United States.

There’s no debating that this is a very effective recipe for disaster and it begs the question that if the Obama Administration is so full of “experts” advising the President on world affairs, why is the White House so deaf and blind to this, perhaps America’s greatest Achilles heel?
