- the oil market doesn't work that way. If Libya wants money, they have to sell their oil. - Reagen Mar 17, 16:59 10
  - Weren't there sanctions against Iraq that kept them from selling oil before we went in? - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:10 8
    - Yes, the world could lay sanctions on him. That seems like that'd piss him off even more, so wouldn't seem to fit with your theory. - Reagen Mar 17, 17:17 7
      - And he hasn't always played well with OPEC. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:22 6
        
        OK, so he says "I'm not selling oil to Italy anymore". He then sells to South Africa or Mali or Ghana or whereever - Reagen Mar 17, 17:25 5
        
        And he's done some of those things in the past. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:32 4
        
        describe those consequences to me and contrast them with how they would be different than the current situation of no Libyan oil? - Reagen Mar 17, 17:36 3
        
        Okay, we aren't talking about the same thing. I mean when it's all over and done. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:41 2
        
        Yes, we are. - Reagen Mar 17, 17:53 1
        
        I didn't say anything about S&D.... I said Supply and Price. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:58
  - *tag* you're it -- nm - moles Mar 17, 17:02
