Huh? Where did I suggest that? I think that you're trying to suggest that I suggested that. I don't have any confidence at all in congress. They are in the pay of the lobbyists.

You guys keep saying "drill drill drill" without realizing that Americans DO NOT CONTROL drilling. You can chant "drill drill drill" all day long and not one well will be drilled.

No oil drilling rigs are owned or commanded by the US government. So telling congress or anyone else in the government to "drill drill" will be FUTILE!

Here is exactly what you said;

A sure way to reduce short term gas prices is to release oil from the Strategic Petrol Reserve (SPR), which is 98% full. This can be accomplished either by executive order or congressional action. Congress is trying, but...

If you would had finished your sentence, it would have said Congress is trying but the President has failed to make an executive order. In other words, you are saying our Congress is doing what they can, while you are suggesting the President is not. It's just more baloney. There has been lengthy discussions regarding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Most experts disagree with you, and say it would have little effect.

Why do you continue failing to understand what people here are suggesting. They are not saying the Government owns oil rigs. Can you find a post where someone said they do? What they are saying is that Congress can open up ANWR and allow oil companies to come in and drill and extract crude oil.

Actually, you know this is what people are suggesting because they have said it. They have said many times they want the Congress to open up ANWR. So you are wasting more of everyones time by suggesting that some here think the Government owns the oil rigs. The Government is, however, essential in opening up areas for exploration and drilling.
