Your documentation for that statement? Is it specified in writing that it is for wartime only, and not other national emergencies?
btw, this IS wartime.........but it is also a national emergency.
It qualifies on all counts.
Our oil supplies are not down because of the Iraq war.
By tapping the reserves now, should we need to take out Iran's nuke program later this year or early next, and the Persian Gulf shuts down, then you will see a real oil supply problem.
