Going long Brent@122 a good bet? Has dropped like a stone on nothing but empty words IMO.
There is a joke on french tv : Its about the people's candidate, Nicolas Sarkozy, who says that the incumbent president, the Nicolas Sarkozy who represents the 1% of Oligarchs, should be put into prison for five years of scandalous management of the French economy. Friend of the Oligarchs, the Old Sarkozy deserves to be sent to prison says the candidate Sarkozy for the NEW presidency, as voice of the people, the 99%, innocent victims of the current Euro bureaucracy scam that has created the current Euro money crisis. "My countrymen, vote for the NEW Sarkozy, so that he can throw the incumbent president, the OLD Sarkozy, into prison for his Elitist Oligarchical sins!"
That is the message of the new candidate Sarkozy and its going down well with the French sheeple! ....Keep your eye on the ball of this french farce. Maybe it will ring a bell in USA in November 2012!
History does repeat. That's human nature!
O'bammy new version and Sarkozy new version on the same page...for the run into elections. Then it'll be business as usual. Oligarchs are short on political time and shenanigans and long on their own net worth!
Six off-shore blowouts in the past three years....Caspian Sea, Southern Australia, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Scotland...Is this a pattern? Was the drilling technology all Anglo--Amerianl 'Imperial'? Is deep off-shore drilling technology fatally flawed? Once more I refer you to Dr. Seymour Mellman's book "The Permanent War Economy" ...(cost-plus and the destruction of the Anglo-American 'Imperial' industrial base) Is there an oil company that does successful outer continental shelf drilling?
Can we say Norweigan Consultants, Boys and Girls?

Israelis Suspect Obama Media Leaks to Prevent Strike on IranFirefighters battle Colorado wildfire
The best photos of the week

JERUSALEM - Two reports today about Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of an Israeli military strike have analysts in Israel accusing the Obama administration leaking information to pressure Israel not to bomb Iran and for Iran to reach a compromise in upcoming nuclear talks.
The first report in Foreign Policy quotes anonymous American officials saying that Israel has been given access to airbases by Iran's northern neighbor Azerbaijan from which Israel could launch air strikes or at least drones and search and rescue aircraft.
The second report from Bloomberg, based on a leaked congressional report, said that Iran's nuclear facilities are so dispersed that it is "unclear what the ultimate effect of a strike would be…" A strike could delay Iran as little as six months, a former official told the researchers.
"It seems like a big campaign to prevent Israel from attacking," analyst Yoel Guzansky at the Institute for National Security Studies told ABC News. "I think the [Obama] administration is really worried Jerusalem will attack and attack soon. They're trying hard to prevent it in so many ways."
The Foreign Policy report by Mark Perry quotes an intelligence officer saying, "We're watching what Iran does closely…But we're now watching what Israel is doing in Azerbaijan. And we're not happy about it."
If true, the deal with Azerbaijan "totally changes the whole picture," says Guzansky, making it far easier for Israel to strike faster and harder, rather than having to fly 2,200 miles to Iran and back over Iraqi airspace.
Thursday's reports come a week after the results of a classified war game was leaked to the New York Times which predicted that an Israeli strike could lead to a wider regional war and result in hundreds of American deaths. In a column this afternoon titled "Obama Betraying Israel?" longtime defense commentator Ron Ben-Yishai at Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper angrily denounced the leaks as a "targeted assassination campaign."
