The Attack on Saudi’s Petroline Came From Iraq

So if you were hoping for some return to pre-war normal when it comes to Saudi exports, you can pretty much kiss that goodbye now. It’s just a matter of time until that’s all gone. And that’s not limited to Saudi Arabia.

It would seem the Iraqis cannot control Iranian militias within its borders.

Sure, none of these attacks are going to be forever. It does appear however that we have launched a really neat game of whack-a-mole, where oil prices ar the prize when you whack the many moles popping up in the eastern shipping lanes, western shipping lanes, various pipelines, refineries, and so on.

I wonder if anyone thought about this six months ago?

Different people get their news at different times.

Fox News viewers, for instance, are still waiting to find out if Bill Clinton is going to be indicted before he leaves office.

Certainly true, but the relevance of said new can diminish with time as it is already generally know.

I think Fox News viewers are probably watching President Trump wonder why Talarico has been MIA from the campaign trail for almost two weeks.

Latest news on tanker prices.

Is this why gasoline and diesel are so expensive?

“Keep yourself out of the news when your opponent is shooting himself in the foot, in the other foot, in the arm and in the head daily” would be my guess.

I always liked Napoleon’s quote:

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”

Or, never interrupt your enemy when he is a mistake.
