We're Fueling Terrorism by Paying OPEC

"We're Fueling Terrorism by Paying OPEC"

That's what T. Boone Pickens told CNBC today.

He went on to say that he was "trying to get away from the terrorists," and that "I think the money we pay to OPEC gets in the hands of the Taliban."

Hyperbole?

Maybe.

But the sad fact remains that the United States is addicted to a foreign oil-based economy.

Our oil addiction continues to fund hostile governments who sell us that oil.

And the United States and its allies spend billions of dollars, and sacrifice our children's blood, to protect the fragile supply route of foreign oil.

Something to think about as we remember our veterans this Memorial Day.
