Monkeys, terrorists, and the $100 fill up

The simian wannabe king of Venezuela, monkey-boy chavez, is up to his usual monkeyshines. Along with the Iranian theocracy, chavez is trying to drive up the price of oil higher and higher.

Do you wonder why the price of oil has skyrocketed of late? Purportedly the governments of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela are engaged in a major covert effort to keep the world's oil tanker fleets from carrying petroleum to the thirsty global markets that need it. This is according to reliable sources who monitor the tanker industry, and sources within the American law enforcement community. The Iranian government has leased and engaged the bulk of the available supertankers, and smaller vessels and is storing oil in ten of them in the Persian Gulf, and keeping others idle whilst under lease or charter. The government of Venezuela is allegedly assisting Iran in this manipulative practice, which has resulted in the tripling of the daily charge for tanker use since April, because of a fifty per cent drop in vessel availability during the next thirty days, this is according to authoritative industry sources. Is this the functional equivalent of a declaration of economic war against the United States? What will the response be, and when will it occur?

Welcome to 21st Century Socialism.

Let's stop playing games already, bomb the shit out of Iran, kill everyone...NO rebuilding at all. Then just invade Chavez and take over, we know Chavez's army is weak.

Funny, I just heard yesterday that the Russians have leased just about all the floating oil rigs, starting next year, for the same purpose. I was told they were afraid of the effects of the newly discovered oil on prices. Haven't found confirmation yet.
