yes, the drill sites are in the exploratory stages right now. The point of those articles in 2006 and again today is that the US is doing NOTHING. We are allowing foreign countries to get the jump on us in our own back yard. Oil doesn't magically come to market overnight. The exploration, drilling and bringing on line takes anywhere from 5-10 years. The point is that they have a two year jump on us.
Do you want to wait until they actually start producing oil for our politicians to actually DO something?
Thanks, Cap'n Obvious. The issue here is whether China is drilling in the Gulf of Mexico as many many many people on the right and on this board have claimed, repeatedly. At least you acknowledge that the claim is a lie.

Well apparently Dung is of the impression that the right to drill that was authorized in 2006 somehow was to mean that the drill sites would be up and running the next day. He apparently has no comprehension that the ability to drill means that the exploratory phase could start... for all the foreign companies. Which means the US companies will continue to have their hands tied behind their back by our idiots in DC.
Listen you ignorant fuck, I'm not the one claiming that the Chinese are drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. It's you and yours doing that. Go fuck yourself you ignorant boob.

Given that the authorization wasn't issued until 2006, it would be virtually impossible for them to have the sites up and running already. But you just want to play word games. Yes, they are not techincally drilling. But THEY have the authorization to do so, which means THEY are going ahead with exploration right off of our coast while WE do nothing.
Yes, I want to play "word games" by sticking to the facts, not urban legend lies dreamed up by right-wing ideologues. Please, SF. You're off the deep end.
As I said previously, go fuck yourself.

Aw, did your feelings get hurt dung? Like I stated and "you and yours" cannot seem to fathom... when people state "the Chinese are drilling off our coast" they mean (for those not too ignorant to understand) that THEY now have the ABILITY to do so. But first they have to go through the exploration phase and then drill, then get production on line.
It is the fact that they are now TWO years ahead of us that matters you dipshit.

Yes, you want to play word games because you don't comprehend the difference. You want to play... play. But don't come on here acting as though foreign countries aren't ahead of the US in drilling off of our own coasts.
Apparently you never learned the difference in verb tenses. Either that or your stupid. Or maybe you're just out of your fucking mind.
If I told you Damo is f*cking your sister, it doesn't mean that he's got a c*ck and your sister a vagina and that he's planning to f*ck her two years from now.

Such a childish rant is solid evidence that your position was nothing more than an attempt at "gotcha" word games. The drilling process involves exploration. They go hand in hand. It is precisely what everyone was referring to when they made statements that "China is drilling". But you want to play a "verb tense" game because you think that somehow makes you clever. Anyone who understands the oil industry knew exactly what people were referring to you twit.

My problem with this is that it is made reference to so that the repubs can blame the Dems for the chinese taking oil that we could get when Mel Martinez and Jeb Bushed were some of the biggest loudest arm twistingest opponents to drilling off the coast of Disneyopolis
Yes, when Dick Cheney said this:
He really doesn't mean that "right now" the Chinese are drilling oil 60 miles off the coast of Florida in cooperation with the Cuban government. He means something else that only Superfreak can divine. Apparently, the Vice President speaks a version of English that is different than that spoken by the rest of us, well, except for Superfreak.
I'd also point out, again, the following for those that apparently missed it the first time:
So, not only are the Chinese not drilling offshore, but they don't have a lease to do som nor have they done any seismic testing offshore.
But apparently it's me that is "playing word games."

The essence of the argument remains intact. Why is China pursuing development in our own backyard while our hands are tied? Why is the business community which claims to care about america so intent on sucking chinese cock?
