Haley Barbour makes a friendly visit to Israel

Mississippi's governor has come to visit:

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who was visiting Israel this week, made a speech at the Herzliya Conference on Wednesday.

Barbour noted his visit to the Leviathan natural gas field, located off the coast of Haifa. He called the field “a marvelous feat of engineering, science and technology,” and compared the discovery of Israel’s natural gas reserves as well as its many other discoveries to “a second Israeli declaration of independence.” He noted that “energy self sufficiency is crucial for any country but it has to be a positive prospect for this country.”

I'm glad to see he also honors our business projects like the natural gas development.
