Cavuto Repeats Cheney Lie About Chinese & Cubans Drilling o

[brentwo]

There are many different sources stating that both Cuba and China are drilling off our coast, but whether they are or aren't drilling there doesn't it seem ridiculous that they can legally drill and our own privately owned oil companies cannot? We need to drill here and drill now!

China is not currently drilling off the shores of Cuba; in fact, it doesn't even have a off shore drilling contract. What is does have is a permit to drill on Cuban land. "China is not drilling in Cuba's Gulf of Mexico waters, period," Jorge Piñon, an energy expert at the University of Miami's Center for Hemispheric Policy, told the Miami Herald. In fact, it is not yet drilling on Cuban land, either.

Don't let facts and reality stand in the way of a reich-wing GOPig hissy fit.
