Our 3rd Largest Oil Supplier

Is it just me,. or does anyone else think that our politicians should be evaluating and moving on opening our own Oil resources? When our 3rd largest suplier says he is going to cut us off because he has aligned himself with every TERRORIST regime that is aginst us. It might be time to re-evaluate what is more important, keeping our country running or some birds and deer? Not to mention that this guy is giving financial support to one of the guys running for DrugLord oh I mean President of Mexico with the proviso that if elected he too will cut off our Oil supply from Mexico which is our number 2 supplier. Both these leaders have been in indepth negotiations with Iran.

Rome, May 12, IRNA-Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in Rome on Thursday in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil.
Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "As Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone."
He also said that the US President George W. Bush should be put to trial at the international court of justice for having launched genocide in Iraq.
The Venezuelan President added, "For all the horror it has created around the globe in the course of the past century, the United States' war machine should be dismantled, since under the current conditions it is a threat against the entire mankind, particularly against our children."
Chavez added, "The North American empire is the most cruel murderer regime that has ever come to power in world history and a serious threat for all nations."
He believes the death of the United States had better taken place in the course of the 21st century, because "otherwise the entire world would face the threat of annihilation."
The revolutionary Latin American President concluded his remarks, arguing, "Although in terms of military power the United States ranks first in the world, but in the public opinion of the world nations it ranks rock bottom low, and many nations fell stronger in terms of logical reasoning than the United States."
