There was a military guy from the first Bush administration on Huckabee and he said he thought Israel could strike in the next two months. You know there are C.I.A. people in Iran with the protesters. Can’t imagine what gasoline will cost if Iran closes the Straits of Hormuz.

How will they close it? I confess ignorance concerning the tactics used in the Straits of Hormuz and how that is retaliation against Israel.

The demand for domestic sources will skyrocket as well.

When gasoline prices reached in excess of $4.50 a gallon, did you notice how folks began screaming for an increase in domestic drilling.

Then....poof. Magically the price of oil fell like a rock thrown off a cliff.

There has been huge oil and natural gas discoveries in the last year or two.

22 trillion cubic ft off the coast of La., oil off the coast of Houston in deep waters, Baken region up near the U.S./Canadian border.

Fuel prices may spike, but only in the short term.

The American people will revolt over cap and trade / refusal by the liberals to tap domestic reserves when fuel and home heating prices reach levels unsustainable by the average Joe.
