President Bush has lifted an executive ban on offshore drilling that has stood since his father was president. But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless lawmakers lift a congressional ban on offshore drilling. Democratic Congressman Edward Markey of Massachusetts said Bush is pushing another WMD: wells of mass deception. Markey said, “The Bush oil policy is an attempt at mass deception by a White House that has, for the last seven-and-a-half years, pursued Big Oil’s agenda of drill, drill, drill.”
