Certainly great news. The markets are curiously quiet on the news. Figured we'd get some minor "Osama effect", but there's nothing. No bid in equities, no selling in bonds or oil... Fishy.

Oil's below $70 this morning. Frankly, I think the oil markets are really, really dumb. They go up if a few more people in Iraq get killed, and go down if Zarqawi dies. How either will dramatically effect the oil supply in the future is anyone's guess.

So....How about Osama now?
Will carbombs in Iraq stop then?

Obvi no. Never said they would.No matter how liberal and lefty I may be...I just wouldn't mind seeing Osama strung up and utterly destroyed, ala Mussolini. You can argue about certain bad guys in history, but I'm fairly well convinced he's one of them. Sure, the US gave him vast amounts of aid in the 80s, we're partly to blame for his tremondous growth in the Arab world, etc etc etc...But the guy still deserves to die a horrible, horrible death.

When the insurgency is terrorizing Iraq, it affects oil supply negatively, so prices go up. They don't just use car bombs and suicide bombers; they attack the oil fields, too. With Al-Zarqawi gone, hopefully those attacks will start to wane, but the markets (and I myself) suspect that some other idiot will come in and fill his place without too much disruption.

Word up.Actually, it would've been nice if his kidneys failed in one of those mountain caves of Tora Bora. That is a shitty, shitty way to die.

I've a super-gay liberal pussy, and I'm generally appalled by reactionary, uh, reactions to death and violence....But I've definitely been listening to Bombs Over Baghdad and dancing around in my boxers most of the morning/afternoon.Wang

Oil is down nearly a half dollar today. Tomorrow they expect more slides in Oil pricing. OPEC isn't turning down the taps anytime soon either, so supply should start outstripping demand driving prices down HOPEFULLY to the coveted $50 a barrel
