Sorry for being off-topic, but couldn't help it
I'm trying to do my best to buy American and do my small part with a 40000+ Superduty. Buy everything else, where practical from US., etc. And happy doing it I might add.
Today I'm reading cnn.com and catch a glimpse of IBM adding 14000 new jobs and thinking GREAT! economy rebounding and THEN see the new jobs are in INDIA
If this keeps up, we're going to so to speak, lose the war without firing a shot!
Sorry for venting and being off topic, but it's hard when the small guy goes out and buys a Ford made in usa Kentucky and then this. You feel like as a nation we take 1 step forward and 2 steps backward. I voting for Bush twice and IF he could run a third time, I'd vote for somebody else.

Don't forget Maytag...Maybe that is how the Chinese are going to get to cleaner burning fuels...
The Chinese interest in UNOCAL is not for the US investment but for the Pacific Rim oil assets it owns. For Chinese use, not ours.
They have also made a HUGE (something like a $100B) investment in the Iran oil machine. Hmmm....China has a huge investment in Iran....China has a veto voice on the UN Sercuity Council.....Not a futuristic pretty picture.
I can see it now one short decade away. Most popular TV show "Pimp my Rickshaw" With spinner wheels and boom boxes.
Oh yeah...we'll be the ones riding / pulling the rickshaws...they'll be driving big dawg diesel trucks.
