Wow- TBP sure saw no problem with American oil consumption when he had the reserves in his control.
I don't disagree with him- I just question his motives and capitalist credentials.

Unless his motives include some dark urge to, like, injure puppies or something I don't see a big problem with his making a huge pile of money off us not sending $300 billion to the Saudis every year. In fact, any capitalist out there who wants to go for the whole 700 billion and keep most of it here in the US, I'm all for it.
