America's Oil Addiction

See if you can spot the contradiction in the following:

"Bush also urged oil companies, which are enjoying record profits, to increase their investments in alternatives to oil and announced that some environmental rules were being relaxed to ease fuel supplies."

If an oil company that was "enjoying record profits" from high oil prices, why would they want to "increase their investments in alternatives to oil"? Exactly, they won't!

Bush says that we are "addicted to oil". If oil is the drug that we are addicted to, then Bush is the drug pusher, the oil companies are the dealers and the middle east countries selling us the oil are the drug lords. We need to get off this "drug", but we won't as long the government keeps "pushing" it on us.
