Outside of Peoria ...
Le Monde goes with Bush Weakened and counts how little actually was in Bush's fifth. Lost in all the delusional Parrotism on this side of the pond is the nuance that only 20% of the North American oil diet is sourced by the code-word-encrusted "Middle East". For every dollar cut from the revenue stream of the Gulf States, a dollar is cut from the revenue stream of Angola and Venezuela, and three is cut from the revenue streams of North Americans. Sort of on par with carpet bombing New Orleans to flush out OBL and a handful of Afgan Talibans and foreign rent-a-vests from Tora Bora, with BDAs of 80% destroyed and 80% missed, on each target set respectively.
Readers feel free to chime in with other journals of record from outside the NSA perimeter.
