re: Clinton systematically depleted our Strategic Oil Reserves over many years, because he didn’t want the public to know what industry observers have known for some time: We have been in an energy crisis for years. By depleting our Strategic Reserves (which by law are to be used only for emergencies), he gave the APPEARANCE that everything was OK. Remember that the Clinton Presidency was all about appearances. Facts didn’t matter as long as everything looked good. Just before he left office, he made a lot of noise about helping stave off a heating oil crisis by selling off even more of our national reserves. He forgot to mention that he sold the oil to "brokers", who made millions when they sold the oil on the open market. You won’t be surprised to find that these "brokers" were friends of Bill and Hillary. Where did you get that crap? John

I'd love to see your link on that one. BTW your argument is a bit off. There are two major factors to the increasing crude prices..........demand from China has grown exponentially since the late 1990s and Iraq. While there is not a shortage per se, supply is so unpredictable that every pipeline blowup in Iraq or employee strike in Venezuela or uprising in Nigeria causes oil to spike up. It pretty much started when Bush invaded Iraq.
