The U.S. is not spending nearly that much on oil imports and roughly one-third of what it does spend goes to friendly countries such as Canada, Mexico and Britain. I hate to give one to McCain. However, THE FACTS are that he said MANY countries who hate us - not all of them. Why play by their dishonest rules?
