The US has taken control of a tanker full of oil loaded from a rebel-held port in Libya, the Pentagon says.
The raid by Navy Seals took place in international waters south of Cyprus, said Rear Adm John Kirby.
The Morning Glory's evasion of a naval blockade at the eastern port of Sidra prompted Libya's parliament to sack Prime Minister Ali Zeidan last week.
The oil terminal has been under the control of militia wanting autonomy for eastern Libya since July 2013.

Has Obama changed sides since the Benghazi Atrocities
(that have been ignored by the EXEMPT Congress),
... or ...
is Obama still backing the group to which he
gave MANPADS, in exchange for them killing
and gang raping the US Ambassador?
He probably can’t remember what he did last week and is making it up as he goes along.
And by what authority did Obama take this action? Did he hoist the Jolly Roger?
My thoughts also. This is a North Korean flagged tanker. Is this an act of war?
Could this be why crazy Lil Kim was having a short range missile party?
And we complained when the Somalis did it. How much ransom are we asking for? Maybe it can help pay down our national debt!
“How much ransom are we asking for?”
Paging Dr. Evil
Not anymore: “The vessel was flagged in North Korea but officials in Pyongyang said it had been deregistered because of the incident.”
Obama is back door arming them via taxes to renovate dead mosques in egypt. Nice campaign donations for Hillary’s big difference in interests.
Democrates vote for anyone with the d party because of donations from wherever. Typical Union party of whores.
Well, okay then. Offload the oil and add it to the SPR. Spoils of war, I guess. Some kind of war. Somewhere.
Good thing the, "No Blood For Oil" crowd will give em hell...oh wait.
And just what was the justification for having US forces involved in this?
It's looking more like the US trying to defeat the radicals who won the war for them, but have no intention of bowing out to western oil and global interests. The puppet gov just isn't doing it for the crazies.
It disgusts me to know that our military has been reduced to being the ‘strong arms’ of the Libyan rebels...
...how the mighty have fallen.
“One MILLION dollars.”
What an over use of power by Herr Obozo and his Chicago thugs. Is he trying get our Seals killed in places, they shouldn’t be.

Obama - killing Seals worldwide for Fascism?
Now we can trade for the Man Pads that Hillary gave the Al Qaeda to fight Qaddafi’s air force.The big payment on 9/11 that killed the famous 4 didn’t work.
