Earlier this month the former Commandant of the Marine Corps and Obama National Security Adviser General James Jones<\/a> slammed his former boss over Keystone XL, the pipeline intended to run oil from the Canadian tar sands to refineries in the United States. Jones minced few words<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Jones, who rarely speaks in public and almost never contradicts his former boss President Barack Obama, lashed out against the administration in a press call and warned of grave consequences to U.S. national security if the project to build the pipeline doesn’t move forward immediately. <\/p>\n

“In a tightly contested global economy, where securing energy resources is a national must, we should be able to act with speed and agility. And any threat to this project, by delay or otherwise, would constitute a significant setback,” said Jones. “The failure to [move forward with the project] will prolong the risk to our economy and our energy security” and “send the wrong message to job creators.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Keystone pipeline is opposed by the usual lunatic Green fringe who hate it for no other reason than it will make the delivery of oil to US markets easier, safer and cheaper. In an increasingly common and always enjoyable juxtaposition, our nation’s unions, always worried about the decay of easily unionized jobs, support the pipeline and the bevy of new (possibly union) jobs it will bring. Our great post-partisan uniter of a President intends to punt<\/a> on the issue until after the 2012 election cycle, knowing he’ll have to let down one of his core constituencies. Somehow I doubt his former head of National Security scolding him over playing politics will sway him, he’s probably too busy checking the latest Gallup poll. Yes we can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
