Bush:
"America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology."
Analogy:
"You are addicted to heroine, which is often purchased from unstable people. The best way to address your addiction is to develop a home-grown Methadone that will get you just as &%#@-up."
So, we acknowledge the addiction ("a compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance"), yet only propose to look for a new fix? Baby steps, I guess.
