I or you or anyone can pull data to prove any narrative, depending on the data we choose and the date range of that data. A 5 day time window is completely meaningless and you know it.

Seriously? Are you trying to convince me that a drop in oil price of over $10 a barrel in ONE DAY is not GOOD NEWS? On an airline pilot forum?

just how much of a drop in oil prices would it take for you to believe it is good news?

So you are saying this new high doesn’t REALLY affect my 401k?

I beg to differ.

It doesn't matter with you guys anymore as you ignore fact and spin statements. No matter what it said you will spin it as a folly even-though by all metrics it is shaping up to be a monumental success that will stabilize the middle east for decades to come.

Still waiting for that $150 a barrel that y'all promised by the end of March, wake me up when that happens

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor so Congress declared war on them. Then Germany and Italy - the other two members of the Axis - declared war on us in keeping with their mutual defense pact with Japan. Then Congress declared war on them.

Pretty much everything since then (1942) have been “police actions” since Congress has reneged on their duty to be the ones declaring war ever since and delegated it to the Executive branch for all practical purposes.

So perhaps your question ought to be addressed to Congress who is constitutionally obligated to be the war declarers.

So you're upset that congress isn't getting us into more wars?

Please explain “monumental success”. What exactly is it you think we have accomplished with this war? Genuinely curious.
