Better jump on the war profiteering bandwagon as it roars past. Don't want to miss this opportunity to plunder a wildlife refuge while Americans are focused on the "war"...

And if the Middle East falls into a state of war and all foreign oil is cut off, we can just walk to work.

Makes sense to me.

Not to mention the "aid" which is going to Boeing and other airlines. Started out at $2 billion, then 4, then 8, and is now at $18 billion and climbing. They still need this much money even after laying off tens of thousands of people? I say let them go bankrupt. Poole Fool actually had a good idea for once, walking is good for us.
