Just stop filling the strategic reserve..and make a big announcement. Call Putin and get the YUKOS situation straightenend out, send more troops to Iraq to protect the oil fields. We need cheap oil. Bush has got to do something about this and the perception is he has not done anything.
YUKOS has been starightened out. The problem with Iraq is infrastructure. They have plenty of oil, but saddam was too busy building palaces and paying off corrupt western European politicians instead of investing in oil infrastructure.
