Nothing to do with me, squire. The Oil ministry never wanted it, and they call the shots, so they kicked it into the long grass years ago.
Never mind LNG - even when the money was rolling in their investment was actually reducing. The problem is a combination of more effective sanctions and a managerial vacuum on a cosmic scale. "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
I was pretty dismayed by their soft liberal slant long before I came here, but I would still use them as a source of news when something was going on. I also remember being upset with Josh Marshall in TPM's early days...there were just so many clever people that I was reading then who were finding justifications to back the McCarthy/Dulles/Rusk/McNamara/Haig/Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush war in Iraq...
