I have heard that the US has 60 years of oil stockpiled.
the supply of just over 700 million barrels that is stored in salt caverns along the Gulf Coast. The reserve is meant to protect the United States against a disastrous sudden cutoff of oil supplies, like the Arab embargo of the 1970s.

I don't know if that figure is correct, but it is interesting to say the least.
They created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after the oil shocks of the 1970s. It's literally a big pool of oil, kept in caves. It's for emergencies, like when the oil supply is suddenly cut off, as in a war or an economic boycott.

the thing that remains a mystery to me personally is the US and UK presence in iraq...i thought they were there bombing the s**t out of the place looking for WMD's...however no proof, nor any WMD'S have been found yet they carry on the bombing and killing of innocents...why? whats the real reason they are doing this?
______beforeitsnews/story/330/141/Iranian_Minister:_US,_Britains_Destiny_Worse_than_Hitlers.html
and i agree completely with Ahmad Vahidi.....these people, these government officials, and the warmongers in the US and UK need to be stopped and our troops pulled out....or this is going to escalate and further terrorist attacks on the US and UK will happen and MORE innocent lives will be taken.
what are your thoughts and reasons u believe our troops are still in iraq?edit on 28/12/2010 by Mirthful Me because: All Caps Title.

Yes, they have been loading that good stuff up on tankers, meanwhile showing video clips of the war " on terror", to keep the peoples attention focused over this direction, meanwhile, were taking candy from the babies " underwraps" of course.

No one listens to Iran anymore, they are all noise and no action!
According to Iran's ISNA news agency, Mashei said that Abdullah's visit will begin a new page in bilateral relations and that, "the two countries hold massive potential to work together." Mashei added, "If Islamic states stand united, no country will be threatened."
For his part, Abdullah reportedly said that his country recognizes Iran's nuclear rights and supports its access to peaceful nuclear technology.
Abdullah was one of the first world leaders to sound the alarm on Iran. In 2004 Abdullah warned of a "Shiite crescent" extending from Iran to Iraq, through Syria to Lebanon. His words were well reported at the time. But his warning went unheeded.
In the intervening six years, reality has surpassed Abdullah's worst fears. Not only Lebanon and Syria have fallen under Iranian control. Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Gaza and increasingly Oman, Yemen and Afghanistan are also either willing or unwilling members of the axis.
