“Of course it’s about oil, we can’t really deny that.”
Fmr. CENTCOM Commander General John Abizaid

Synopsis:
The notion that oil motivates America’s military engagements in the Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. Blood and Oil, a new documentary based on the critically-acclaimed work of Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare, challenges this conventional wisdom to correct the historical record. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years — rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. In the end, Blood and Oil calls for a radical re-thinking of US energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.

President Obama disappointed millions of Americans by announcing his plan to open vast coastal areas to offshore oil drilling.

At a time when we need clean energy and climate solutions, this plan is a giant step backward — allowing oil companies to reap billions, while feeding America’s addiction to dirty fossil fuels.

Offshore drilling is bad policy, and we should say so. Sign the petition: http://www.repoweramerica.org/tellobama
