Israel today has stepped up its attacks on Hezbolah in Lebanon. Its good to see Israel with the chains off, but its driving the cost of gasoline up to new heights. $79.10 per barrel of crude, as of right now.

I wonder how long we will continue to let the MidEast set our oil prices? The answer is that we will put up with it so long as we have linguini spined politicians who bow to pressure from the environmental left to keep us from drilling our own crude oil. We have the oil under our territory. It is outrageous that we should have to watch our prices go up just because the Arabs cant leave Israel alone.
