"Why are you opposed to opening up the OCS and ANWR?"

First of all, why are you sure there is oil there...there has been no exploration, has there?
You tell my why it's necessary and I may agree, but you say"No, if the leasing ban were lifted immediately, there's no way the Interior Department would be able to schedule auctions on new territories prior to January of 2009. " So why is McCain the GOP trying to panic the public with the drill right now and we will reduce the price of gas....they don't say when, but hey that's only a detail..

":Thats a false assertion. Oil companies are exploring the leases they have."
