In an ocean close by.......
Oil Wars.......
Yesterday, the Senators in league with the Sith introduced a bill allowing the Federation to help what's left of the empire drill for Dillithium Crystals...wait wrong sci-fi movie...i mean oil in Cuban waters.
Today we learn from the Sun Sentinel, that freshman Jedi, Mel Martinez, exiled from the Cuban Sith by the emperor, has introduced a competing legislation to punish those that do business with the Sith........
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mel Martinez introduced a bill Wednesday that would punish
foreign companies and investors who help Cuba drill for oil and natural gas near the shores of Key West.
Martinez, a Republican, and Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, are trying to fend off another bill also introduced Wednesday that would allow oil rigs as close as 45 miles from the Florida coast and ease the U.S. embargo so that American companies can drill in Cuban waters
``This bill sends a clear message that any attempt to develop Cuba's oil exploration
program will be met with strong sanctions,'' Martinez said. ``Supporting the Castro regime in the development of its petroleum is detrimental to U.S. policy and our national security.''
