Unknown gunmen have seized control of a defunct Libyan oilfield in an attack that left at least 12 people dead, at least four of them foreigners, the oilfield's commander says. The gunmen, possibly Islamists, attacked the remote al-Mabruk oilfield south of Sirte on Tuesday night. The oilfield, part-owned by the French company Total, has not produced oil for more than a year.

The French and Italian’s went after Libya to insure their supply of oil...how did that work out? We of course..lead from behind.
>> The gunmen, possibly Islamists
No, this sounds more like workplace violence to me.
What were the foreigners doing at the defunct field? Shades of Benghazi?
...and at some point, you have to ask yourself this question:
“What exactly is the difference between an “islamist” and a “muslim”? IS there any real difference?”

A radical muslim wants to cut your head off. A moderate muslim wants a radical muslim to cut your head off.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
> The gunmen, possibly Islamists...
Y’think?
heh... you got it. As per the picture Ben Lurkin posted here a few weeks ago:
Recently an American security contractor (former US military) was killed in an explosion/attack at a hotel in Libya, yet that story didn’t get the major coverage that one might have expected. It’s almost like the story was quietly shuffled off to the storage warehouse...
At any rate, Libya and the rest of the Middle East seems to be a hell hole. Poor Israel to be surrounded by all of this!
This sort of thing will start to drive oil prices back up, imo.

Stole it from someone here on FR. Don’t remember who.
None the less, I nominate you Ted Cruz’s Press Secretary.
I can’t afford the pay cut. ;-)
