We talked before that the war was not over...
Indigenous Leaders Will Hand Obama Emergency Mother Earth Accord

This Friday, tribal leaders from across the continent will meet for their third summit with the president in Washington, and one of the prime items on the agenda will be the fight against the Keystone Pipeline. They'll talk about the way both the pipeline and the process of approving it have violated treaties, and they'll present the president with a copy of the Mother Earth Accord adopted in a special meeting at the Rosebud reservation a few weeks ago. It's a strong document, full of details about the impacts of tar sands mining and pipeline leaks and carbon emissions -- but it also speaks with the real power of the people who've lived longest and best on this continent. Indeed, it begins by affirming that "the earth is our true mother, our grandmother who gives birth to us and maintains all life."

This comes at a great time since a Republican Bill Demands a Quick Keystone XL Permit.

Republican lawmakers in Congress introduced legislation on Wednesday that would force the Obama administration to issue a construction permit for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline within 60 days unless the president decides that the project is not in the national interest.

So is the war coming to a final end? Which side will be victorious - Mother Earth or big Oil?
I think McKibben says it best...

No win lasts forever, not in environmental battles. There's always someone there who wants the money badly enough that they'll find a way...

I just hope money loses to health and environment.
