The other claims about switching over mixtures, planned maintenance, summer driving coming and so forth happen every year and should not be driving prices to this extreme.
The bonus, if there is one, is Congress might get off it's bum and allow us to open ANWR for drilling.

Agree, those are downstream conditions which should have no effect on the price of crude, except to lower demand.
I see nefarious characters like Soro raking in Billions off this.
Well, If George Bush was SMART, and so far he hasn't really demonstrated that - beating idiots like Gore and Kerry was like shooting fish in a barrel - HE would do something to benefit the fight for ANWR issue, push for more refineries, and blame the eco-nuts for the fix we are in. Totally discredit them - they deserve it.
As for the Iranian War, if we can't engineer a successful revolt from within, we had better start it soon.
These suicidal nuts would use a nuclear bomb as quickly as they could effectively deliver it - and "mutual deterance" doesn't work with THEM. They WANT to die and take us with them. And I believe they are very close.
If we DO have to take them out on the ground - Iranian Oil should pay the cost of the war effort, and we should pull out as soon as possible and leave the Iranians to straighten out their own mess.
