Huh, I wonder why they seized it instead of shooting it like the others? It couldn’t possibly be for the oil, right?

I mean, I know what your point is, but can we actually just be thankful that they did not in fact blow up an oil tanker and spill all that into the sea?

The deep water horizon did not show America too concerned about oil in the Gulf. I’m not sure they care where it goes if they can’t have it.

What, have they escalated to blockading Cuba now?
