If president obama gets his way, even as he continues to fight efforts by many of us to repeal outdated oil expert ban that would allow us here in this country to send oil to our allies. I think it does beg the question, and part of the discussion hopefully this newing will be with that source of revenue, that iran is anticipating to receive, what do we do with it . What will the intentions of these be . Libby did do good and build hospitals . Libby to direct yet additional sources of revenue to the terrorist organizations. In recent months we have seen a great deal of discussion about isis Oil Production and distribution, and Coalition Efforts to disrupt this source of revenue. Bottom line is that the Islamic State this oil is helping to finance terrorism. Significantly. I have long argued that Energy Security is central to National Security.

In tandem with imaginations that opec, the Global Oil Supply is saturated, and may be for some time. We also know that iran, one of the original and most deadly state sponsors of terrorism will soon be rejoining the Global Oil Market.
