If he's planning an attack on Iran, he'd want a full strategic reserve.
But not for you and me, dear readers, but FOR the MILITARY!
All the pieces are coming into place; I can't imagine they are going to wait much longer.
I pray I'm wrong, but by the end of May I'll bet we have attacked Iran with some martial law thrown in to boot (on your throat)!
"Bush Filling Stategic Oil Reserves To All Time High Level At Record Prices"
"Relentless Fuel Price Spike Demands White House Action, Says Consumer Watchdog
Group Asks President to Deflate Oil Markets With Immediate Releases From Strategic Reserve
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As gasoline and diesel prices reached another daily record price today, Consumer Watchdog asked President Bush to release oil from the federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve with the explicit goal of deflating speculation in energy trading.

"Months of deliberate White House inaction on oil and fuel prices have pushed consumers and the U.S. economy over a cliff," said Judy Dugan, research director of Consumer Watchdog. "In fact, the President Bush has exacerbated the harm by spending taxpayer money on millions of barrels of oil at record prices for the strategic reserve, which is filled to near its all-time high."
