LIBYA, OIL, DEATH

Today, two photojournalists were killed in Libya, and the U.S. stock market was up 186 points.

Are these two events connected?

You tell me. Libya, I understand, is our biggest source of "light sweet crude," which is the cheapest to refine and the easiest to turn into gasoline.

Maybe we are just there to rescue people. Maybe.

And the U.S. economy runs on what? Oil? 

Hmm. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Oilman George W. Bush invaded Iraq, and oilman Dick Cheney said oil from there would pay for the invasion and reconstruction.

Did it? You tell me.

Hmmm.
