Pelosi's "Strategic" Solution to Fuel Prices

Maybe I'm confused in my understanding of the word "strategic," but it seems to me that if there was ever a time to have the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) full it is now. When we look at the turmoil in the Middle East, the surging demand for petroleum by China and the potential for supply disruptions throughout the world by terrorists -- not to mention the roadblocks to increased production that are being erected by the Democrats in Congress, this is the time to be certain we have a supply of oil to meet critical needs in the event of a major catastrophe. Yet Nancy Pelosi in all her wisdom wants to draw down the SPR to alleviate gasoline prices but is unwilling to support increased production domestically. Whose side is she on anyway?
