Id say thats a definite. Now that they have developed some of their old muscle back, they want to take control of the oil that goes to Europe. The US is in no position to do anything about it. Its not like we can threaten them with anything but talk.

And anyway...The US did do something very similar..in Iraq. Not that that very expensive gambit is going to pay off for us...the peak oil and current credit crisis is going to end up doing us serious harm.
