*: "US must not be "hostage" to foreign oil" Reuters
""Some of the nations we rely on for oil have unstable governments or fundamental differences with the United States," Bush said in a speech at the start a two-day swing through Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado.

"These countries know we need their oil and that reduces influence. It creates a national security issue when we're held hostage for energy by foreign nations that may not like us," he added, without naming the countries."

Of course he didn't name names, his saudi prince buddies might get offended.

Everytime I hear this failed oil businessman who was born on third base and thinks he hit a home run feigning complaints on foreign oil, I'm reminded of Phillip Morris telling us they don't really want us to smoke (yeah, right).

3. He only chokes when telling the truth.
Lies are mothers milk to him and everyone that surrounds him.
