It was a guest on the ABC News Talk Network tonight on XM Radio. The guest said a German doctor who had lived in Tyre until recently said that it was common knowledge that Hezbollah would locate a daycare or school above a command bunker, stating that even if they were hit, they win based on the PR value afterward. There was also a comment that the doctor opined that the bodies shown were clearly dead for longer than a few others, and lacked blood from collapse of the buildings


Check this video out with Helmet Guy....they bring a body out, and stop for the cameras...

ug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Iran's leaders, threatening to disrupt oil supplies in any confrontation with the U.S. and Europe over a suspected quest for a nuclear bomb, may be pointing a lethal weapon at themselves.

Cutting off the flow of crude would deprive Iran of about $5 billion a month -- by far the main contributor to the country's budget -- at a time when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is on a spending spree to deliver on promises that brought him to power last year.

``In case of sanctions, whether self-imposed or imposed by the United Nations, the president's prosperity program will collapse,'' said Saeed Laylaz, a political analyst and a former economist at the Ministry of Industry and Mines in Tehran. ``Our people are not ready to endure strong sanctions.''


Iran supplies China with 4 percent of its oil; France, 7 percent; Korea, 9 percent; Japan, 10 percent; Italy, 11 percent; Belgium, 14 percent; Turkey, 22 percent; and Greece, 24 percent, according to May data from the Eurasia Group, a New York-based political-risks consulting firm.

Iran buys more than a third of its gasoline from other nations because it has failed to ease subsidies, cut waste and boost refining capacity. ``Iran is rushing to try and limit its dependence on gasoline imports because it knows it makes it vulnerable,'' Matthee said in an interview.

Green Helmet Guy sounds like an hysperical old lady! What a high pitched voice he has, in spite of that impeccable stubble.
