The Missing Topic in the Debate
Oil.
Oil and energy were in short supply according to last night's transcript of the Bush-Kerry debate. Kerry mentioned oil (in passing) a couple of times, but the word did not pass the other debater's lips. The theme was Foreign Policy and Homeland Security; clearly energy policy has nothing to do with the theme. And it is (still) a complete by-golly-gee coincidence that Iraq has the largest known oil reserve after Saudi Arabia.
