I am just throwing this out there....Will this effect DL? Having an oil refinery in PHL, how much impact will this have on DL? Where does the oil that is processed in DL's PHL plant come from? I am in no way tied DL, seems like a smart move, in times of oil unrest.
It doesn't matter, because oil, like pilots, are a global commodity. Both US and Intnl oil prices went up by about the same amount after this was publicized.
I find it surreal....Iranian Republican Guards are in Baghdad right now, advising and supporting the Baghdad government to help them stop the insurgents....and just a few years ago they were financing and arming insurgents to fight the Americans and the Baghdad gov't.
Why did we go into Iraq? Most Americans believe we did so to get back "at them" for 911. When one of the statues of Saddam was pulled down, the US troops were chanting "911" over and over.
I had a crashpad buddy, who is a conservative guy from the Midwest: He didn't believe me when I told him that almost all the 911 highjackers were Saudis, and none was from Iraq. He looked it up himself, and was shocked. He said he didn't understand why we were in Iraq....he thought it was to get them back for their 911 terrorism.
