I think you are mistaken, and have been drinking the MSM's Kool-Aid.
We are not fighting on two fronts, we are fighting a Global War on Terrorism. The two primary countries we are engaged in are in the same theater, and have the same enemy players.
If you think Obama is worth a look, you might do some reading on Jimmy Carter, and imagine it ten times worse. Incompetence, partisanship, and lack of experience, combined with raging socialism.
The Republican Congress passed drilling legislation under Clinton, but did not have the votes to override his veto.
Like it or not, domestic drilling is one of the necessary steps toward a responsible national energy policy. Or we can wait for oil to become prohibitively expensive, and go through an economic meltdown that makes the Great Depression look like a picnic. We cannot conserve our way out of this, or develop alternate, zero emission sources adequately before the train wreck occurs.
