First, Iran is working on nuclear weapons. Now Syria is working on them.

IMHO, sooner or later, there will be radioactive mushroom clouds over the entire ME region. We really need to start drilling ANWAR and uncap the wells in the contiguous 48. The sooner we become independent of ME oil the better.

Remember that low flying plane over Gettysburg last summer that caused concern. As Paul Harvey would say...Here's the rest of the story.

A low-flying airplane so startled residents of Gettysburg in the pre-dawn hours last June that the top two floors of a six-story hotel were evacuated and borough police tried to signal the plane using flashlights. Two teenagers face a court hearing this week on charges they flew a two-seat Piper Cub airplane belonging to one of the boys' father so they could drop eggs on their high school. Adams County prosecutor Brian Sinnett called the apparent prank "one of the most bizarre cases that I've been involved in."

What, and risk depleting them before that happens? There's something to be said for keeping them in reserve - granted that if that happens there would be dislocations while they were being drilled.
