We can relax. They were Citgo stations.

Looks like Iran just might be folding up like a cheap suitcase.

Holy smokes! Iran imports 40% of its gasoline? To me, that is quite a revelation.

From the Report:

"Guns, fireworks, tanks, [President] Ahmadinejad should be killed," chanted angry youths, throwing stones at police.

Greenies of the world UNITE. You have a new home where they take protection of the environment seriously.

Only 100 liters per month. This is heaven. Maybe next year that can be reduced to 50 liters and then to 10 and then to 0. This is potentially even better than 72 virgins.

I commented to my wife last night it is hillarious that a country with NO EPA and NO ENVIRONMENTALISTS to stifle a country’s growth chooses to build numerous Nuclear plants but won’t build its own refineries to refine its own oil.

We could solve this nuclear thing in ten minutes. Blockade their ports, aim at their refinery, and tell them: “Nukes or gas. Your choice.”

It is a dangerous move for any elected government, especially in an oil-rich country like Iran, where people think cheap fuel is their birthright and public transport is very limited, she says.

Think Totalitarian Population control...

If the sheeple have no gas, they can only travel by public transportation, and that means they can be TRACKED....

Thanks for the post. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this “crisis” is a calculated PR ruse to get the world on Iran’s side as far as their “need” for Nuclear power.
