  • victor2cutube:

    he hit the nail on the head.. it was a war for oil.. right out of the PNAC play book

  • drmassone:

    i agree

  • Beebostomp:

    that quote was aimed at someone with your mindset. i guess you still dont understand what it REALLY means.

  • HoleDweller:

    There is a difference between solving something and ending it. Violence doesn’t solve problems, it ends lives. Sometimes there is no other choice, but it is rarely the best option.

    You can’t truly know if violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. There are conflicts ended everyday both with and without violence, but non violent solutions are rarely reported on the news.

    Who deserves to be President of the USA: Ralph Nader – or – Mike Gravel – or – Ron Paul or – Cynthia McKinney. Hopefully, one of them will be in 2012.

  • njj37:

    america is not ready for gravel… yet gravel for president in 2012!

  • stopplayingchurch:

    Cosign

  • wutterputter:

    Real men and leaders like this no longer are put in office thanks to the easy brain washed society we have today.

  • kardentyrell:

    I think some confuse anger with speed of the debate, Sen. Gravel was given so little time, so he has to squeeze allot into it…and the only way you get the questionnaire guy not to interrupt you is to be overbearing enough in the speech

  • aquafishsoup:

    a stupid public gets a stupid leader

  • kyeot:

    The truth scares people, so they rather hear a watered down version of Gravel like Ron Paul or Dennis Kuncinch. People aren’t interested in change, they are interested in talking about it but not making it.

    Dizzy: My mother always told me that violence doesn’t solve anything.
    Jean Rasczak: Really? I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say about that.
    [to Carmen]
    Jean Rasczak: You.
    Carmen: They wouldn’t say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.
    Jean Rasczak: Correct. Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn’t solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst.

  • PVJared:

    Mike Gravel is good, but he’s too emotional. I don’t blame him for being that way.

    Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich have more charisma and more truth telling than Gravel. Gravel is too angry and it scares people.

    Thank God that kucinich and paul are still in congress.

  • 8xMIKEGRAVEL4LIFEx8:

    It’s sad to haveto believe hes to good.

    Vote Ron Paul.

  • hulloooooh:

    This man is just too good! Couldn’t possibly be president being SO right as this guy.

  • verminslayer:

    FUCKING *******! A very large number of Americans didnt ask to go to war. Many troops dont want to be there and **** the government for putting them there. “We have to grow up”? I didnt choose to be born in a generation and in a society were the situation was fucked up since the 1930’s and has never really gotten better, we’ve only been fooling ourselves with credit cards and loans. Borrowed time and money, and now **** hits the fan. I’d say good ridence but I am in the boat with all of you too

  • janebusby:

    NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCSAME !

  • Sahrroh:

    That’s so true. It’s a waste for people to have those here when they usually don’t need that much power. I’m all for oil conservation, along with tons of others, but our government has yet to make a positive step towards that.

  • feonor26:

    the gasoline prizes in Norway isn’t so bad compared to salaries. If you’ve gone down to Europe you can see it’s not a cent cheaper down there. It’s acctually more expensive some places.

  • feonor26:

    USA must get rid of the Hummers and other SUVs that spend ridicolous amounts of gasoline. Many of the larger cities should also have a functional mass transit system.

  • Sahrroh:

    I live in New Mexico, USA. There are tons of oil jacks and there’s tons of drilling here. Working in the oil field is probably the most popular job here. We use our own oil, as well. I guess USA just uses more than it can self-produce.

  • christoffera:

    yes.. we’re one of the most expencive coutries in the world.. and we earn wery mutch too, but the gass price should be the same, SPECIALY when its our own Oil we use…

  • Sahrroh:

    Norway’s cost of living is far higher than it is in America… Maybe gas is a contributing factor?
