Well, if we were going to fight a UNNECESSARY WAR, we may as well of got oil like Bush claimed we would.

What does the #1 Bush Jewish Capitalist Economist say about IRAQ WAR BEING FOR OIL?

...
(Greenspan) also observes: "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."
...


BTW, the SPR is only 3 days of oil if all other oil stops flowing.

Well dickless, that is only part of the story.

First you have to say Bush added $120 to the price of a barrel, before he reduced the price $15.

+$120 - $15 = +$105/barrel

That is your fking Reaganomics at work.

That would be nice but I doubt it would happen, either.

Of course he did, and he's probably responsible for Hurricane Dolly, and for your Dad's condom breaking too. What a dumbass....

Hell, half the libtards around here will tell you the same thing.
An extra million barrels a day from ANWR in forty years when Exxon finally decides to produce it isn't going to affect prices this year, next year, or twenty years from now.

Exxon with all its advanced knowledge and technology hasn't managed to figure out how to get oil from the patch of land right next to ANWR even after trying for three decades and 25 years after drilling six oil gushers out of seven exploratory wells in Point Thomson and getting approval to produce it. So, if Exxon had leases today in ANWR and was authorized to cover it with toxic waste, it still couldn't affect oil prices in the lifetimes of anyone reading this.

Yeah, sure. Tapping into the strategic reserves is going to bring down pump prices significantly.

Remember when it was suggested Clinton tap into the reserves, and he said it wouldn't make much of a difference? I do.

If that extra million barrels per day isnt going to affect prices...why is that moron Nancy Pelosi advocating opening up the reserves??
