The oracle speaks: Henry the K

“The great game is developing again,” [Henry Kissinger, former US secretary of state] told a meeting of the US-India Business Council. “The amount of energy is finite, up to now in relation to demand, and competition for access to energy can become the life and death for many societies. It would be ironic if the direction of pipelines and locations become the modern equivalent of the colonial disputes of the 19th century.”

boy, i tell ya... you don't have to read too far between the lines to understand what this man really thinks... for one thing, saying the "amount of energy is finite" only clues you in to his rejection of the viability of alternative energy sources... saying that competition for "locations and directions of pipelines" and "access to energy" "WOULD be ironic" is completely disingenuous... that competition exists now and has already been engaged in for some time by the u.s... if you look at where u.s. forces are strategically deployed around the world, you will be looking at a global map of energy resources...
