Fox "News" parrots Dick Cheney's fear mongering lie that the Chinese and Cubans are drilling for oil off the coast of Florida. More at www.newshounds.us.
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.
