#1 Actually not as looney as one might think as fuel is a critical component of the logistics train in Afghanistan. As long as it does not create a risk to the mission or the troops minimizing fuel use is actually a good thing.

#2 Let's see. Tankers are getting blown up left and right as they work their way through hostile territory in Pakistan, and all that fuel burns up right on the spot with very little consideration for the environment.

Sorry, I forgot what the Looney Congress Critter's question was?
