Well, for one, don't let Jason Garrett devise the strategy! :)
Seriously, I'm not sure I'm any more competent than he when it comes to dealing with current crisis which has been orchestrated by OPEC, hussein and Soros. I'll take a stab though and the oil experts who frequent FR can point out the flaws in my approach -- and I'm sure there are many. During this period, I would build up the strategic reserves and prepare for a war footing. Energy drives the military and the surplus should be allocated to defend our Republic from enemies both foreign and domestic.
That said, the pain I'm soon to feel in my portfolio since a potion of it is in our local XOM does have me worried. And I feel for those in the oil industry suffering due to these machinations orchestrated by those who seek to impose marxism on America. Of course, underlying this is the priority of removing hussein and his henchmen from power since they're the ones behind this. Jim Robinson has spoken of hussein's final months in office as being a time of crisis and what's happening now with this anti-energy campaign waged by the corrupt administration is the clear evidence of that.
Well, that did go on a bit, didn't it. And, in a more pithy form, your idea of capping the OPEC leadership with some implements of destruction (JDAM or otherwise) does have a certain appeal.
Part of the problem...part...is that Europe and 0bama have relaxed the enforcement of sanctions against Iran exporting oil.
You’ve read in the news that 0bama is trying to score a nuke deal with Tehran...a fool’s errand, but 0bama and his advisors and fan-bois are fools.
Cutting off Iran ends the 1.5 million barrel per day global oil surplus., but that goes against what 0bama wants on two fronts (his nuke deal and he hates frackers).
However, higher gasoline prices reduce driving miles (typically), which *is* an 0bama/enviro-nazi goal.
So on that one train of thought, 0bama, Buffet’s oil-transporting-trains, and the environuts agree with frackers on a higher price of oil being desirable.
