Apparently the trading pit war is fought by releasing oil from the SPR and strong-arming our fellow IEA member states to ship refined products to us.  The problem, of course, is that you can only do this so long.  

N.O. as the central front in the war on terror?  You might think so based on the number of troops that are arriving and the talk of federal marshall law, but I won't go there.  ; )

This kind of warfare is using weaknesses in vital areas to attack an enemy while doing it without the necessity of complex military structure.

Isn't this called Fourth Generation Warfare?
