Bush continues to imply that these unstable governments in the middle east are we get all of our oil from. When the VAST majority of our oil comes from North America. Below is a chart of Imports, let’s not forget that the US produces 40% of it’s own oil. So which unstable Middle East country are we overly dependant on?
Typical use of fear to distort the truth from the Bushies…good thing those crazy bastards are rioting over cartoons makes you worried about your oil when it has almost NO IMPACT on US oil supplies.
