There’s the fire from whence all this smoke is emanating, I joked at TPM about blaming an oil-future’s trader, rather than a terrorist for blowing up that pipeline near Basra, but now I wonder if my snark was not more accurate than contemptuous, if you measure everyone of Cheney’s shadow chess-moves, they always seem to precede a spike in the price of a barrel of crude.

Over and over again, Cheney’s hand seems to start something that benefits his fellow Dubai vacation-homers. It would be interesting to see who all bought oil futures just before Cheney makes a move, no doubt he has a closely held list of beneficiaries, all of whom get “the call” just in time to buy into an oil investment fund before Tricky ReDick goes out stirring up the markets.
