Good thing we've got a refinery and hedges! :D

Oh....wait.

If gas drops and we are hedged management is stupid. If gas rises and we aren't hedged management is irresponsible. They should know by now to always predict the future correctly. We should probably hedge against the lower prices now or maybe not. No doubt OPEC is trying to run the shale industry aground. That way they can give us a break on fuel prices! JMO OFG

Yep, strongly worded messages sure do the trick! I agree with the previous post that most folks are too caught up with other self absorbed stuff to care. Its a shame, and these are probably the kind of people who watch Schindler's List and wonder how atrocities can happen and WHY DIDN'T ANYONE DO SOMETHING? Now terrorism, quashing of free speech, subjagation of women, and genocide still happen, but people wanna bury their head in the sand and or pretend its someone else's problem. Sorry for the rant, this matter gets me really fired up.

Barry uses stronger and more aggressive language directed at Republicans and the Tea Party than he does toward Isis.

Yesterday he said Isis is morally "bankrupt."

Ooh. That will show them

That's a great point. By the time most of this country wakes up to the realization of how serious this threat is it may be too late.

Mind-blowing.

Towards ISIS, the Taliban, Al Qaeda... Then he wants to hop in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran, and Hezbollah while slandering Israel. Doesn't seemed too concerned with Al-Shabab or Boko Haram either. You're right. Mind-blowing.

"May be too late?" I would argue it already is too late. If we're not already there, we soon will be. This train has been hurtling off the tracks for years. Not ballsy enough to name the enemy? Can't beat them.

COEXIST.

Yep it's amazing. He's trying so hard not to offend anyone that we come off looking really weak. Those who've spent a lot of time in that part of the world know their culture respects power and overwhelming force. We need a strategy that leaves no question in anyone's mind we will crush them. Then we'll see locals rising up against them. We are unloading a massive amount of ordinance on them and that's having a big impact but that strategy is limited. Why at least not a bounty on the head of anyone in their leadership? They'd be wondering if everyone they come in contact with is trying to collect the $25 Mil.

King Abbdoullah II is just getting started (he was in DC when he learned of the slaying this is what those in the meeting said)

“He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn’t seen,” said Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a Marine Corps veteran of two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, who was in the meeting with the king. “He mentioned ‘Unforgiven’ and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie.”


He was Jordanian Special Forces while a Price

"
The young prince was a man of action on the athletic field and the training ground. In 1980, he enrolled in the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst (UK) and was commissioned as second lieutenant in 1981. He served in the British Army in the 13/18th Royal Hussars Regiment, with duties as a reconnaissance troop leader in the United Kingdom and Germany.
In 1985, then-Prince Abdullah returned to Jordan to serve in the armed forces (Armoured Corps, 3rd Division). Rising through the ranks to lieutenant-colonel, he attended advanced military courses in both Jordan and the UK. Among other duties, he served on attachment to the Special Forces and qualified as a Cobra attack helicopter pilot. After service as commander of the 2nd Armoured Battalion, 40th Armoured Brigade, he was named deputy commander, Jordanian Special Forces, in January 1993.
In November 1993, Prince Abdullah became commander of Jordan's Special Forces. In 1996, he was given the task of reorganising the Special Forces and other elite units into the new Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In 1998, as SOCOM commander, he was promoted to the rank of major general."


This may actually be fun to sit back and watch......
