Monday October 9 1:44 PM ET Diplomacy Expands in Mideast Crisis By DAFNA LINZER, Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM (AP) - Palestinians and Israelis exchanged gunfire Monday, hours before the deadline on Israel's ultimatum to the Palestinians to end the violence or face ``forceful'' action. World leaders stepped up their efforts to stem the crisis. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright held out the possibility of a leadership summit, and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov were due to arrive Monday evening to confer with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Arafat, returning from a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, said he would limit his talks with Annan to Palestinian demands for an international inquiry of the events of the past 12 days that have left 88 people dead, most of them Palestinians. The U.N. Security Council has called for an ``objective inquiry,'' but stopped short of Arafat's demand for an international commission. Israel has rejected both calls. Israeli officials were unavailable for comment, observing Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, until Monday evening. In his ultimatum Saturday, Barak said the deadline would be Monday night but he did not give an exact time. He was to convene an emergency Cabinet meeting at 9:30 p.m. to assess Arafat's compliance. On Tuesday, Barak is to meet Annan and Ivanov, who were also due to visit Gaza - Annan on Monday night, Ivanov on Tuesday. The visits were expected to have a calming influence, with Israelis and Palestinians perhaps interested in avoiding an escalation as long as Annan and Ivanov are in the region (cont) dailynews.yahoo.com

The price of oil is based on perception right now and not supply. Oil is just like gold or coffee and people buy it long and sell it short and manipulate the price. The SPR fully bled will account for 28 days supply. Look what happened when it was opened up, there were no takers. The obvious lack of understanding of something as vital and strategic as oil is completely lacking from the C administration. Do you remember how quickly oil prices fell in line during the Gulf Crisis under Bush Sr?
