When Democratic politicians opposed to drilling in ANWR make either of the following arguments:
1. It will take years to develop, or
2. all the oil there only represents __% of the world's reserves,
they are not revealing their true motives. They are oppossed to it because environmental groups like the Sierra Club have told them to be against it. The next time Obama says he's going to stand up to special interests, someone should ask him why he's against drilling in Alaska.
