Robert Gates: U.S. Troops could stay in Iraq past end date - Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com

of course, gates is leaving and panetta's taking over (according to msnbc this morning, it's probably in print somewhere by now)

here ya go: Leon Panetta will succeed Robert Gates at Department of Defense - Glenn Thrush and Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com

petraeus, they say, is likely to take over at cia which, by the way, is still not being prosecuted, nor will it ever be, by eric holder the man who pardoned marc rich

petraeus, by the way, is the general who raced to obama's rescue after mcchrystal made leadership's disposition over there mcchrystal clear and got fired for it

and when obama was a senator (before he became the slasher) the junior from illinois refused to vote to exonerate his latter day rescuer from the slanderous betray us accusation

Leon Panetta will succeed Robert Gates at Department of Defense - Glenn Thrush and Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com

which is kinda ironic when you think about it

anyway, as far as getting outta iraq, with this crowd running things, ya never really know

You probably intended a point in that statement but you will have to refashion it before anyone knows what it is.

The article was posted to show further expert opinion of peak oil. That paper was written in 2009. It might have made sense then to raise the price a dollar to reduce demand but as we have have gotten closer to peak oil in the last couple years, prices are rising on thier own. The market forces of supply and demand are causing the prices to go up, that and the greedy speculators the GOP deregulated.

This dates back to Reagan when he scrapped Carter's Energy plan.

No one is currently proposing increased taxes on energy. The Carbon tax bill failed a long time ago.

Move on what? They have made more investment in nuclear and other sources of alternative energy than any administration in history. They have done more for conservation of supply than any administration since Carter. And oil production in the US is higher than in the last decade.

Right, this is the first administration that has taken any significant action since Carter.

Economic growth slowed to a crawl in the first three months of the year as a spike in gasoline, higher overall inflation and continued weakness in the housing market all took a toll on the recovery.

Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation's economic health, rose at an annual rate of 1.8%, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. That's a significant slowdown from the 3.1% growth rate in the final quarter of 2010.

The dollar dropped after economic indicators pointed to a dismal employment picture and slowing economic growth.

First-time claims for unemployment benefits jumped 25,000 to 429,000, indicating employers might have slowed their hiring recently. Economists were expecting claims to fall to 395,000.

At the same time, gross domestic product rose at a modest 1.8% pace in the first quarter, matching economists' forecasts. However, the pace of expansion is much weaker than it was at the end of 2010, when the economy was growing at 3.1% pace.

The dollar has been hammered recently, losing out on interest-rate differentials and regularly hitting multiyear lows against other major currencies. Losses were especially bad Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated the central bank is far from tightening monetary policy as economic growth remains slow and unemployment remains high.

We were warned:

"But we do have a choice about how we will spend the next few years. Each American uses the energy equivalent of 60 barrels of oil per person each year. Ours is the most wasteful nation on earth. We waste more energy than we import. With about the same standard of living, we use twice as much energy per person as do other countries like Germany, Japan and Sweden." - Jimmy Carter - 1977

"Supply-side responses alone will not suffice. To be effective and politically acceptable, solutions." "Politicians still speak of U.S. energy independence, while the United States is importing more than half of its oil supplies and may soon for the first time become reliant on sources outside North America for substantial amounts of natural gas. " - STRATEGIC ENERGY POLICY CHALLENGES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY (2001)

"The US military has warned that surplus oil production capacity could disappear within two years and there could be serious shortages by 2015 with a significant economic and political impact."

The time traveling Obama huh? He has the ability to travel back in time to have his birth announcement placed in two newspapers in 1961, and to travel back to 1981 to convince Reagan to scrap Carter's energy plan. Quite the claim you have there! :sun
