Rigzone is reporting:
President Barack Obama's former national security adviser says he
should approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline as a matter of national
security.
Retired Gen. James Jones tells the Senate Foreign Relations that
approving the pipeline would send a message to Russian President
Vladimir Putin and other "international bullies" that they cannot use
energy security as a weapon. Jones says rejection of the Canada-to-Texas
pipeline would "make Mr. Putin's day and strengthen his hand."
The Senate panel is holding its first hearing on the pipeline five
years after it was proposed as Democrats wrestle with its impact on the
outcome of next fall's election.
Rich Democratic donors are funding
candidates who oppose the project while the party's continued control of
the Senate may hinge on re-electing the pipeline's biggest supporters.
It will have zero impact on the election. This is all about keeping people's minds off ObamaCare.
