Around the World in 60 seconds...

or however long it takes you to read theses stories. I don't know. You could be one of those really fast, high-comprehension readers or one of those really slow, high-comprehension readers. Don't blame me. I'm still sick:)

Let's start with oil....Texas T, Black Gold. Before we forget that the ONLY reason we're in Iraq is oil, let's take a look at the price of that liquid love. According to Reuters,the price of crude oil jumped $2.00 a barrel on news of a suicide bombing attack against the massive Abqaiq oil facility in Saudi Arabia. The attack was reportedly thwarted and two vehicles were destroyed right outside the gates. Check out this quote from an industry insider:
"It's all about perception. Just the idea of an attack in Saudi Arabia is enough to make the market jumpy," said Glenn Murray, an oil broker at GM Oil."
Glenn Murray, please report to the White Courtesy Phone for your serious ass-kicking. Obviously some reporter called their buddy Glenn for a quote. Glenn needs a primer on the difference between 'perception' and 'reality'. An 'idea' of an attack doesn't include two militants killed, two gaurds killed, a two hour pitched gun battle...I perceive that Glenn Murray has shit for brains. Oh wait, I'm right so that makes it real:)

According to Jason Leopold (I know, I gotta get off this guys jock but seriously, he appears to the only journalist all over the CIA/Plame affair)...the White has turned over 250 'missing' emails.


"Sources close to the probe said the White House “discovered” the emails two weeks ago and turned them over to Fitzgerald last week. The sources added that the emails could prove that Cheney lied to FBI investigators when he was interviewed about the leak in early 2004. Cheney said that he was unaware of any effort to discredit Wilson or unmask his wife’s undercover status to reporters."

Which is insane as every report we've seen so far put Dick Cheney up to his eyeballs in this mess. Perhaps Cheney will adopt the Scooter libby defense: "I was too busy to tell the truth"

Personally, I think Bush okayed the release of these emails so he can get rid of Cheney who has so far given him...
-Iraq
-Torture
-Plame Affair
-ShootUrBuddy Gate
-Wiretapping Gate


The list is endless...time for Dick to go but Dick is scary to little Georgie so best to let Fitzgerald take him down...or so goes my thinking...

Speaking of thinking, what was our boy Rumsfeld thinking in the aftermath of 9/11? Good question and one we now have the answer to thanks to blogger Thad Anderson at Outragedmoderates.org. As reported HERE by the Guardian, Rummy was thinking of bombing SH (Saddam Hussein) HOURS AFTER THE BOMBING!...

"Best info fast. Judge whether good enough [to] hit SH at same time - not only UBL [Pentagon shorthand for Usama/Osama bin Laden]," the notes say. "Tasks. Jim Haynes [Pentagon lawyer] to talk with PW [probably Paul Wolfowitz, then Mr Rumsfeld's deputy] for additional support ... connection with UBL."



Ah the good old days. I wonder if SH (Saddam Hussein) slept with DR (Donald Rumsfelds) wife? What else could explain this dramatic falling out these guys had?

Stay Naked.
