Putting Iran In Check
"You can bet that Bush will fill up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its brim and very likely authorize an increase in its capacity to counter the 'oil weapon.' "
That was yours truly back in August of last year (here). Today comes the news that the President wants the SPR doubled. Regardless of what he says it is for, you can be certain this is a chess move against Iran. And it's a good move. Bravo.

more SPR, mine sweepers and 2 carrier groups in the golf, Iranian embassy raid, 20,000 more troops in Iraq, banning Sepah, Rice was in Israel, Cheney was in Saudi...have we just started a cold war with Iran, or is air strike next?
No, I think we've started a Cold War. One thing we now know about fighting this type of war that we didn't know then was just how weak economically these repressed countries can be. Had we pushed alot harder on the economic levers of fighting the Cold War with the USSR, we would have won it alot sooner. We might beat Iran without having to bomb it by ramping up the economic pressure early and often.
