#1 issue is energy dependence, Congressman Davis says
In response to my question, what one aspect of the war do you feel is most important, Congressman Geoff Davis (R-KY) says we have not had a national strategy since the days of the Cold War. We need to step back and have objectives ranging from diplomacy to economics to security. The number one issue, he says, is energy dependence. If we use our natural resources and become an energy exporter, that would give us tremendous leverage and reduce economic incentives in many of the OPEC nations. (1:24)
