Told you the dirty Democrat bastards would try something underhanded:
We’ve just been alerted that despite House Democrats relenting on extending bans on offshore drilling and oil shale in the continuing resolution (CR) appropriations bill, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid has decided to sneak an extension of the oil shale ban through as Congress fights over the financial bailout. Oil shale in America’s West is estimated to hold between 800 billion and 2 trillion barrels of oil — that is more than three times the proven oil reserves in Saudi Arabia alone.
They’ll never, ever give up, and they simply don’t care what damage they do to ordinary Americans and our economy in the process. Red State says get on the phone now and let the anti-energy curs know their skullduggery won’t fly.

Any mention of the vaunted ' world opinion' causes me to spew drinks across my keyboard. We don't give a rat's ass about world opinion. It's convenient cover for political objectives and our own self interest. Dipshits like Harry Reid don't even have a clear idea where all this is heading. He's living in the moment, trying to salvage each partisan skirmish. It's not about policy, it's always about power; obtain it, maintain it, and finally wield it. Benefit yourself and gorge at the public trough. That's the real game. Anything else is polite fiction.
A misunderestimated nukular strategery?
Bwahahahahaha
