I read something about this the other day. Apparently it's not a relatively desirable grade of crude.

Maybe they want to fireship a carrier?

I would have thought this stuff would sell in preference to tar sands?

I would ring the doom bell but someone broke the ringer.

I suppose they could dump it and torch it. Would create a great smoke screen for those little speed boats of theirs.

Would a burning slick shut down the straits?

No, and the prevailing wind blows West.

All that OR..... 

They load silkworm missiles on full tankers and then use those tankers to take down our fleet. How much pressure would there be not to spill entire tankers full of fuel into the gulf?!?! Especially when they declare that all they want to do is escort our fleet out peacefully..... how bad would it look if the US started sinking full oil tankers? 

It's kinda like the environmental version of hiding amongst civilians.

Here you have a friendly Iranian, they all Westernize...

In regards to the tanker build up, it is known that there are plenty of informants paid solely to report about the movements in the Straight of Hormus.

Given that the German Milk Famers currently are uncapable to unite in order to control milk prices , there is little hope that as the Arabian countries getting their supply system under control in regards to oil.

Especially when the cow(s) are slowing down in terms of production.

Could someone please close the stable door?!

So the smoke screen thing might work if they got everything lined up just right and checked the weather channel before doing anything?

Could a Tanker full of crude be made to detonate with a big enough primer?

That is actually a very good idea!!

We've already covered this: Is Iran Playing the Oil Card? If so, why?

Didn't have the delectable chicky poo though.

Tuckered out as well. Time for a bit of spatchka.
