Re: Build Coal-to-Oil Conversion Plant Now!

Is that you Neville Chamberlain???? I thought you died in 1949.

Who was it said if we do not learn from history we are destine to repeat it? Thank goodness we have a President today that is more like Winston Churchill than Jimmy Carter. LOL

Dontcha know... They flew those planes into buildings because we weren't paying enough for their oil..

I would love to get old Nomen sat down and make him read the Bin Laden fatwa's and tell me how that's OUR fault.

Well, do YOU know why they attacked us here on our home turf, and haven't come after most of the western bloc countries?

You don't really think this is about oil, do you?

I thought you knew something, I didnt.. guess it's the other way round.

Why should they bother attacking England? More than the token subway attack, I mean... It's already verboten to have caricature pigs on desks in governemnt offices.

And they have... the only difference is in the scale.

Have attacked Germany (Night Club) Spain England

Foiled in France Germany England

But that's just off top of my head...

And of course it's not about oil... that's just a ruse used by the Left to get all the DEEP THINKING US social activists riled.

And by Bin Laden & Co to give the poor Arab kid another excuse if he doesnt think Israel/Palestine is enough.

Just a hunch, but if the USA minded their own business and didn't try to put their nose in everybody else's business, it might be a good start.

Get rid of Dubya.

Get out of IRAK (where are those WMD's), and get out of Afghanistan too.

:smokin: Very interesting how the initial premise of this alternative fuel post immediately turned into a political statement.

I quote Colonel Klink from the old TV series "Hogan's Heroes"...............

"Veerrrrrrrrryyyy interesting,,,,,,,,,, But Stupid!!!!":smokin:

Good question - probably Syria. You do understand that: (1) They did exist without question (2) The law of the conservation of mass is real

But a true liberal never lets reality stand in the way of their politics. So be honest - do you believe in the law of the conservation of mass?

Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x')

Bill, never, I repeat, never, try to inject logic, especially physics, into politics. :-)

It just won't work as politics isn't about what is real and true, it is about what illusions you can create to support your position and accomplish whatever goal you have for whatever reasons you have it.

Two completely different worlds.

There are several possibilities... (a) Might be in Syria, as you surmise (b) Might even be in Iran...Iraq fought Iran for a long time, but when the US attacked Iraq, they sent many of their fighter planes to Iran. ???? (c) They may still be there in well hidden underground facilities... (d) They may have actually destroyed the mass of the chemical and biological weapons. They were nowhere close to nuclear weapons of their own craft, but it would not have been out of the question that they could have purchased a couple. Camels don't make the best delivery systems, but ??? Hans Blix could have been correct.

If Iran is seriously on the path of nuclear weapons (and I think they are, no matter what they say), then somebody is going to have to either be the best damn diplomat ever, or somebody is going to have to pull the fangs of this beast.

If we do it, we further raise the hatred level against the USA. And this is largely our conflict because we shouldered ourself into it, long long ago.

Maybe we should suggest to Israel that we don't really have a dog in this fight....Israel has the weapons to lay waste to everything in Iran, and all those countries already hate them...Let them protect their own backyard.

While I might not agree with everything the US does, I have to think of that weed patch in my back yard..... with outside (my) intervention, it remains a small weed patch.... I hate it and I deal with it as I can, but it remains.....

If I didn't try anything at all, that small weed patch would soon own my whole yard (which ain't the prettiest yard to begin with). SOMEBODY has to stick their nose in somewhere and somehow.... To the extremists, the US is todays target... simply because they are trying to put the lid back on Pandora's box.... To the extremists, we are all "infidel dogs" and their interpretation of the Koran has marked every Christian, every Buddhist, every Jew.... and even every Scientologist as "expendable".

Still pissed that the Liberals lost, are you?

YA that's a good idea, we need Dimocrats in charge.. You think gas is expensive now, I guess you don't remember Carters effort to control the distribution to cut demand that led to the long gas lines, or Clintons 50C gas tax and his 10% 'carbon tax' proposals designed to save the planet? Obviously you forgot about 9/11

mike hunt

The gas prices went up beginning in 1973 under Nixon's watch. Nixon, like Bush, was a Republican. The prices went up again at the end of Carter's watch as a result, in part, of the Iran-Iraq war.

I am not suggesting that Carter's energy policy was good at all. Only that gas prices went up under Republicans.

I did not know that 9/11 had anything to do with gas prices. That occurred under a Republican President, following many security mistakes under both Democrats and Republicans.

Jeff

You are free to believe what ever you chose, no matter how convoluted your logic.

mike hunt

So....what did he say that wasn't true?

Found this, gas prices per year.

How how true it is that the first gas crisis came under Nixon or the prices went up under Bush.
