OIL SURGES AND STOCKS TANK AS QADDAFI POUNDS THE REBELS
Business Insider ^ | March 4, 2011 | Joe Weisenthal

A total reversal from yesterday. But first, the scoreboard: Dow: -96.04 NASDAQ: -15.30 S&P 500: -10.23 And now the top stories: The day was dominated by two stories: Libya and the Non-Farm Payrolls report. First we'll talk payrolls. After three straight months of massive disappointment, we FINALLY got a solid number -- 192K net new jobs created -- that was bang-on in line with expectations. It's not amazing, but the unemployment rate fell below 9.0%, so The White House will take it. Naturally, there were some internals that weren't so hot, including the continued exodus of folks from the workforce.

IMHO: It will take the Muslim Brotherhood & pals 12 months or more to stage an election, win, consolidate power and begin to wage jihad from their new Caliphate. Until then it may be possible to make some money. LORD GOD HELP US if the ‘bamster gets reelected.

Don’t have the source handy,
but it is being said that Libya represents only 2% of world production.

I bet there are a few friends from 0bama's Chicago neighborhood who will be willing to help consolidate power when the time comes...

“Obama. Is an idiot.”

There is a great bumper sticker somewhere in that

I wish I knew that I should support the rebels. I don’t like Gadafi, but I really don’t like the Muslim Satanhood.

sigh.

Maybe, they should kill each other off.
