Well, with inflation and all....

Apparently Texas has been doin' work since I last picked up a paper.

who is to say the US wouldn't just invade this new nation and take the crude? We did it to Iraq to avoid $20 gas

Somewhat .... China got Iraq's oil, not us.

not really off topic. as i said, if washington felt panicked enough over $20 a gallon gas then why wouldn't they consider invading texas?

The solution is not for states to secede. It is for the states to bitchslap the wayward child (the federal government) they created back into it's rightful place. States are beginning to grow balls and doing just that. Whether it be Colorado and Washington state on marijuana, Texas telling the TSA to pound sand, Kansas, Virginia, Florida, South Carolina telling the feds they will not set up health care exchanges or Montana telling the feds they have no say on the matter of firearms produced and sold there, it's the duty of each state to defend it's citizens from a federal government violating it's constitutionally enumerated powers.

Not saying they wouldn't. I'm saying the supposition that we went to get and got oil from Iraq is wrong.

it was somewhat tongue in cheek. i wont go so far as to say i don't think we didn't go in to (at least in part) get oil, even if we didn't come out with any.

Why do you need oil? Obama will give you a Chevy Volt!

Ok, fair enough. I've often wondered it myself and I served there.

You know those still run on gas, right?
