Re: Executive Order -- National Defense Resources Preparedness |
Lot of speculation about this. Here's a good one: Iran
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/edwin-black/obama-national-defense-resources-preparedness_b_1359715.html"..the obvious sudden need for such a pronouncement: oil and its potential for imminent interruption."
"..for many years there has been no plan. But now apparently, the legal authority to organize a specific plan has been renewed and updated in crystal clarity."
If Israel bombs Iran, the US needs a plan for handling a global disruption in oil supply and prices. The US is being proactive and not waiting to react if that scenario happens. It doesn't cost much to issue orders in the open for everyone to see, and it sends a message.
