Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Libya's prime minister threatened Saturday night to bomb a North Korean-flagged ship that had entered a rebel-held oil port, calling the ship's arrival there a "violation of international law."
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said if the ship does not follow orders, "it will be bombed and this could lead to an environmental disaster."
The vessel, dubbed Morning Glory, docked late Friday night in the oil port of As-Sidra. Zeidan said the ship's captain subsequently was warned by phone, though the captain responded that local militia on board did not allow them to depart.
Libyan government officials spoke with diplomats at North Korea's embassy in Tripoli, Zeidan said. He added that information showed a "Gulf nation" owned the ship and that it is registered in North Korea. A spokesman for Libya's National Oil Corporation indicated the tanker was Saudi owned, but Saudi Arabia's embassy released a statement saying it had nothing to do with the ship.
In addition, an arrest warrant has been issued for the oil tanker's captain and "the use of armed force, as necessary," has been authorized, according to Zeidan.

A few things...

1.  The visual of the Gulf Nations basically being in lockstep on most issues is washing away.  A regional war is coming.

2.  The news media is ignoring it but the low grade civil war raging in Libya is heating up.  Rebels control more and more territory.  The European Union, or more specifically the British and French playbook for Libya, which the Obama Administration followed from behind...while leading....has failed.

3.  Globalization is faltering.  Its failure is right around the corner.  Disputes like this one were suppose to be settled in court.  Remember the "Nations acting like its the 19th or 20th century" line from Kerry?  I now believe that the "new world order" that Bush Sr. was putting into place was nothing sinister.  It was simply based on the belief that economic entanglement would make war obsolete and that small units of Special Operations backed by airpower could handle any problems on the ground.  Instead of backing off that belief they've doubled down.   They were wrong.  So wrong.

4.  The world is becoming MUCH more dangerous and almost appears to be spiraling out of control.  Yet now we cut our defense?  Now we send combat hardened troops to the unemployment line?

We will pay dearly for the mistakes our leaders are making today.  Read the whole story here.
