Behethland B. Clark responds to Steve Brenneis:

I suppose it all depends on how you play with the numbers, but if the USGS estimates that we'll get 7.7 BBO from ANWR and the US currently uses over 6.5 BBO in one year, how long do you really think that resource will last?! If the point in all this is to get away from Foreign Oil, then this ain't the fix.

I swear to you, that if drilling in ANWR would really give us enough oil to end our dependence on foreign oil, I would be for it. I believe it would be worth it to avoid another Iraq. But it isn't the long-term answer that we're looking for and isn't worth the environmental damage that COULD be done for just a few years worth of oil.
