U.S. forces seize tanker carrying oil from Libya rebel port

So we can use our military to protect foreign oil interest. But they weren't available when our embassy was being attacked and Ambassador Stevens was being murdered?

Libyans were probably trying to hijack their oil from American thieves.

The United States can run all over the Middle East attacking countries, taking their oil, can go to war to protect Saudi pipelines, can decide who can and can not sell oil, etc. all half way around the world from us, but the Russians are the bullies for taking Ukraine, a country full of Russians that borders Russia?

So it took a team of SEALs to accomplish the same thing a group of Somali pirates in a skiff can do? Yay, SEALs!! Will Obama hold a press briefing now to tout his accomplishment? Will we see photos of him in the WH war room during the event?

If you're going to do something it's worth doing right. No problem here.

Sadly there was no oil on board, only dismantled parts to some big commercial airplane.

According to who? I saw nothing of that in the OP article. All I see is somebody trying to sell oil in non US dollars and we did what we do. What are you talking about planes?
