It’s 2008. That’s almost seven years since 9/11, when President Bush declared a war on “terrah.” Our enemies are funded by oil. Yet it is miraculous that we are consuming more and more oil every year.

Of course, our auto industry is in the tubes, bleeding billions of dollars in losses over the past few years.
What’s so laughable is that two college-age brothers transformed their parents’ hybrid car into a “plug-in hybrid” that gets 100 miles per gallon because it can go 40 miles on a charge. Then the hybrid gas engine kicks in.

Why is it that a pair of 20-something guys can build a hybrid for $3,000 and “The Big Three” can’t get one to market?
Why do we spend $100 billion a year fighting a war in Iraq that is about oil and terror, but yet our government can’t seem get an American company to build a plug-in hybrid? The technology obviously isn’t that difficult.

Sadly, we’re fighting radical Islam the old-fashioned way—with weapons. If we had any kind of political leadership, our roads would be filled with plug-in hybrids.
The Jewish community should be demanding that these vehicles become as common as Hummers on American roads so we can protect the State of Israel against oil-funded terrorists.
