It appears our federal government is about to put the final nail in the trans US oil pipeline so Canadians can now sell the oil to the Chinese. Textbook stupid. Though from this most political of administrations it is somehow not surprising. Whose political interest is being advanced here?
The photo below from an Obama fundraiser in San Francisco on October 25, 2011 accompanied Reuters reporting on this story today. The Arabic sign in the background is interesting. Is this another bow to Saudi interests? Arab opposition to the pipeline is an excellent reason to build it now.
