    WASHINGTON — In its hurry to transport millions of barrels of oil from federal stockpiles to stabilize world oil prices earlier this summer, the Obama administration has repeatedly bypassed federal law by allowing nearly all the oil to move on foreign-owned vessels, drawing protests from domestic maritime operators.

    Thats the way of it Transcend! Like almost all british manufacturing is done abroad by 'third world' economies. While the dole queues in Britain get longer and longer.
