Ahmadinejad defends Israel remark gulf-news.com Iranian spin control!! Tehran: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday stood firm on his call for Israel to be "wiped off the map" as thousands of Iranians backed his statement in mass protests. Iranian logic!!!! "They are free to talk but their words do not have any validity. It is natural that if a word is right and just it will provoke a reaction," Ahmadinejad said.

What, don't they teach to to read up their in Canada? :^) Actually, you keep getting the US and Canada confused. I grew up in the US. Where did you grow up? As for claiming I can't read.........I am afraid its you that can't read. JF already has showed you the document from the gov't site that says only once has oil been drawn down from the SPR.......that was under Bush I. During the Clinton years, exchanges were done but never a draw down. In other words, you are once again perpetuating a lie. Can you tell us when and how you became corrupted? "But crude oil has been withdrawn from the SPR sites many other times. Small quantities of oil are routinely pumped from the storage caverns in tests of the reserve's equipment. And in several instances, oil has been removed from the caverns under the legal authority to "exchange" SPR crude oil. To comply with the legal requirements for these exchanges, the SPR must ultimately receive more oil than it released; in other words, the exchanges can be used to acquire additional oil for the SPR. <snip> "Only once in the history of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has the President ordered its use in an emergency situation. That occurred in 1991 in conjunction with Operation Desert Storm. Twice the Administration has conducted test sales to ensure the readiness of the Reserve and its personnel to carry out a Presidentially-ordered drawdown. The first took place in 1985, the second in the months immediately preceding Operation Desert Storm." fe.doe.gov
