 China is NOT drilling 60 miles off Florida's coast
China is NOT drilling 60 miles off Florida's coast
Vice President d**k Cheney was mistaken when he made that statement based on a report written by George Will. Although leases have been sold and there is exploration going on, no drilling is happening at this moment. Eventually probably, but not now. picked by 2manyusernames 5 months ago

Can someone please pull Cheney's head out of his ass. One wonders how it keeps getting stuck up there.

Oh, I really doubt it was a mistake. He got it out there that China was stealing, or about to steal, all of our oil off the coast of Florida.

This fear tactic is right up this administration's alley. I'm just surprised he didn't make Bush say it.

"There is no actual drilling yet. ... There is exploration," said Johanna Mendelson-Forman, a senior fellow on energy and Latin America at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Yet.

However, we will be happy to buy that oil from them once the drilling starts, while banning our own exploration in the exact same area.

Why would they (the NOT China companies) buy the leases and do the exploration if they were not intending to drill?

I think the folks who are jumping on Cheney, are missing the real story here. China will be drilling soon, what is essentially OUR oil!

That is much more important an issue.
