Pray tell, what does that mean? It certainly does not mean actual independence, since the U. S. cannot supply its own oil consumption. Does it mean that we will get oil only from our friends? Like Mexico and Saudi Arabia? Like Iraq? Does it mean that we will establish client state in the Middle East to supply our oil?

I submit that in any real sense, we are already strategically independent in oil. If we want it, we can get it.

I suppose that, from an Aristotelian point of view. McCain’s statement is completely untrue, because he does not mean anything by it. It just sounds good.
