So what? That's a much better reason for going to war than deposing saddam, after all.

Otherwise you yanks would have to invent cars that do more than 5 miles to the gallon, ruining your industrial base in the process

hrmm.. don't see any direct quotes regarding your topic in that post.

Post by **Dek** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:58 pm

try quoting from the direct article not from some backwood news website.. it'd make your hourly rants about America more meaningful and believable.

''If Zarqawi and [Osama] bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks," Bush said. ''They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions. They could recruit more terrorists by claiming a historic victory over the United States and our coalition."

Well, now that all your refineries are up shit creek, makes even more sense out of invading iraq, doesn't it? Bush is going to go down in the history books as a political genius.

I saw on the news last night Bush got a grant from the EPA use crude oil. I'm not sure if anyone remembers but Bush turned Texas from being one of the least air poluted states into the worst in the nation during his term as govenor. What a fucking prick!

Edit: Here's an exact quote and link to the EPA's site.

EPA.gov wrote:Nationwide fuel waiver issued to bolster fuel supplies
REMARKS BY ADMINISTRATOR STEPHEN L. JOHNSON
UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Wednesday, August 31, 2005

Thank you very much. Today, I am exercising my authority under the Clean Air Act to temporarily waive specific standards for gasoline and diesel fuels to ensure that the Hurricane Katrina natural disaster does not result in serious fuel supply interruptions around the country.

As we are all well aware, we are seeing increasingly serious impacts from the hurricane in a number of fuel markets around the United States. Yesterday afternoon I exercised this authority with respect to four states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. It has become clear that the consequences of the hurricane have become more widespread. So today, I’m sending letters to the governors of the remaining 46 states and territories providing temporary relief from volatility and sulfur standards. This action will result in a needed increase in fuel supply.

These waivers are necessary to ensure that fuel is available throughout the country to address public health issues and emergency vehicle supply needs. Under the Clean Air Act emergency authority, I am making the waivers effective through September 15, 2005. These waivers only apply to volatility standards - the rate at which fuel evaporates - and the amount of sulfur in fuel.

EPA is committed to working with our state and federal partners to address this extraordinary national disaster.

Thank you very much.
