    I don't think my first thoughts would be about oil. If I was part of Bush's administration, my first international call would have went to the PM of India.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Great news if you were in the oil market.
    :rolleyes:

    Up $2,000 a contract.
    :D

    FYI - Bush to weigh in with his not so-necessary, probably fairly unsubstantial comments from his purdy lil' ranch at 11:00am EST.

    FYI2 - Crude oil inventories down 2.8 million barrels. Expect oil to climb back up towards 100 a drum :D

    thanks for the very irrelevant info mr smiley.

    this of course is a stretch...but i think the saudis are behind everything thats going on in the middle east right now.

    i think they orchestrated the war we are in now and im not positive who they are working with or why... but i think their influence is suspect enough.

    although thats not evidence...but when realizing how rich they are...their psychological influence in the middle east...the way they throw money around..the way theyve got the U.S. by the collar to the point we cant even question their royal family i think speaks volumes of bad intentions..

    and the fact they are best friends seemingly with the BUSH family.. which might be a trick in itself


    the point is..they are huge and are going unoticed for some reason

    Why is it irrelevant perse.
    The oil move was not a correlary, it was causal.
    It moved IMMEDIATELY following the news.

    I just thought it was an ironic comment on the utilitarian nature of markets related to tragedy.

    Everything else has been better said by someone else.
    I just threw in my 2 financial cents.

    :D:D:D
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I'm not too sure her being a woman had much to do with it. but it probably didnt help.

    those arent musharaff supporters. which is why its confusing to me. why wouldnt al queda and/or taliban go after musharff too. why just her? pakistan sucks

    they have a couple times, remember the bridge bomb attack on musharaff? on another note, she was not a great leader, she stole from the people and known to be kinda corrupt. how corrupt? maybe avg leader of a country corrupt? but anyway she was not super good.
    ---
    But anyway, the most shocking thing for most americans from this will be the fact that they probably had no idea pakistan had a female leader years ago. I think she even won twice! while here in america people are asking... "are we ready for a female president?"

    The sun isn't exactly free.. like oil you need equipment to harness its energy and that equipment costs.. it is cleaner though... the sun will eventually die out, but we'll be long gone by the time that happens anyways. :p

    Damn shame, I always found her very attractive.
    She was a brave woman with brains and beauty.
    RIP Benazir.

    Further evidence that the human smart bomb is way more advanced than anything any military has created thus far.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
