Palin on the “Energy Weapon”

Give Sarah Palin this much — her understanding of the geopolitics of energy is every bit as daft as that of much more seasoned conservative pseudoexperts. She can spin out outlandish and ultimately nonsensical scenarios about Iran (or Venezuela) deploying the mythical “oil weapon” and she, too, can ignore the fundamentally global nature of hydrocarbon markets by prattling about “energy independence.”
