Will Smirk open up the strategic reserves now?
"The President is committed to ensuring that our emergency reserves are in a state of preparedness, and increasing our oil reserves today protects us against potential supply disruptions of tomorrow."
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham
January 22, 2002

Ya think Katrina qualifies? Think about it. Gas is at 3 to 4 dollars a gallon after Katrina. NOLA is devastated, the economy worsens. Will he open the reserves? Probably not. He'll invade Venezuela and Iran.

4. Nope - his oil buddies stand to make WAY too much money on any
shortages caused by Katrina. Remember "some call you the haves, I call you my base" Bush gets his juice (political $) from these folks.
