Bipartisan Support Weakens War Machine

Democrats and Republicans are coming together in Washington in a move that will reduce the Neocon war machine and help to put an end to their legacy of death and destruction worldwide. From today's news:

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., plans to bring up for a vote Tuesday a provision to halt oil shipments to the federal reserve until the end of the year. Senate Republicans said they want shipments halted for six months, but are expected to support the Democratic measure.

The House is taking up a similar provision later in the day that also is expected to get broad support."
Read it and weep.

And while you're at it don't forget this key line:

"The government obtains the oil in lieu of royalties that otherwise would be paid by producers who pump it from federal land. If shipments were halted, the oil would flow into the open market."

What that means is oil companies make a higher profit on oil that is sold to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and places the argument in a whole different light known as the truth.
