Good thing we didn't elect someone who flip flips.

"The Strategic Reserve is an insurance policy meant for a sudden disruption of our energy supply or for war. Strategic Reserve should not be used as an attempt to drive down oil prices right before an election. It should not be used for short-term political gain at the cost of long-term national security."---George W. Bush, campaigning in September 2000, criticizing Clinton

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will direct the U.S. Energy Department on Tuesday to temporarily halt deliveries of oil to a strategic reserve in order to get more fuel on the market and help reduce rising gasoline prices, a senior administration official said.

The official said Bush in a morning energy speech, will tell the Energy Department to suspend deliveries this summer while supplies are tight "and defer the deposits until the fall, and then you have more oil on the market."

Why is Kerry mentioned at all in this thread title? You are referring here to President Bush. You have an ongoing inability of phrasing things properly, Mark, I must say.

Sarcasm?

Irony?

"an ongoing inability of phrasing things properly?" Ah, the irony. Again.
 
How is the strategic oil reserve?

Is it:

1) more full than usual, or
2) more empty than usual, or
3) the same?

Also, as long as you're answering those questions, Mark

4) Is there a difference between selling from the reserve and stopping buying of the reserve?
5) Are there any changes to what "gasoline" is which might cause supply disruptions this year?

If you figure out a way to get him to answer questions, could you please PM Jocko and me?

Thank you very much.
 
No answer [to those questions] are expected Beeps.

I'm sure well get answers to questions unasked though.

Compared to when Clinton made the proposal? I don't know. Do you?

Are you suggesting this is Bush's out? Why? He didn't give Clinton that out, which is the point of this thread.

Bush:
"Today my opponent, in response to public outcry, proposed that our nation tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. That's bad public policy." Bush, September 2000

What part of that says or implies it would be OK depending on the level of reserves?

I answered. Your turn...or are you and Beeps just throwing insults today? (Expected when your infallible hero ends up with egg on his face...again.)

Btw, Beeps, that question is for you, too.

I have no hero.

You have not answered the question

I did answer.

You did not answer mine (big surprise, hypocrisy from a conservative). What in Bush's comment said or implied that the level of reserves determined whether or not it was bad policy to tap into them?

Are you ****in' serious? You posted this thread without doing even the most basic research about the SPR, how it's been used in the past, how this time is similar to and/or different to other times?

I'm sorry. You've now devolved into "too stupid to take seriously."

I love it when conservatives feel threatened...they immediately resort to childish name calling. I'll ask you the same question:

What in Bush's comment said or implied that the level of reserves determined whether or not it was bad policy to tap into them?
 
Ask away. I already answered the questions you don't know the answer to in a thread to which you posted! So the available evidence is that you are impervious to facts. Why should I provide more of them?
 
Rob Lister said:
there are only three answers possible: more, less, or same.

You did not answer the question. But I didn't think you would.

The answer to that question flows directly from the answers to Rob's questions. Neither he nor Al Hubbard was speaking for the benefit of people who intentionally shield themselves from facts.
