US drilling will Reduce Dependence on Foreign Oil, Creating Jobs Here At Home

The Associated Press ran the following headline yesterday and today:

AP : US Drilling Doesn't Drop Gas Prices

Totally BS!

But tell me this: Even if that story were true (but it's not), even if more drilling in the U.S. doesn't decrease the price of gas, it will, however:

Reduce dependence on foreign oil, creating jobs here at home, and reduce the chance that the money we send overseas will be used for future terrorism.

Wasn't that the argument liberals used to make, years ago?
