That would be a lot better than having up pre-emptivate them. Then they can’t blame us, and it would be a lot less costly.

Sounds like Condi and George are about to give Iran money like they did Hamas.

I don’t think Iran has the balls to go through with this.

From the title, I thought this article was going to be about technical breakthroughs in organ transplants.

Wow, this is one story you won't ever hear on "World News Tonight".
If the account is indeed factual, it can't bode well for petrol supply in the near future.

This just reinforces my belief that Ahmanutjob and his supporters are not planning for a future. They are planning to instigate a worldwide conflagration that will bring about the return of their 12th Imam who will bring about peace and a world ruled by Islam through their ‘benevolent’ administration of Allah’s will. Selling soon to be destroyed businesses today to raise a little holocaust capital makes for wise invelstment in their jihadist world.

Ahmadinejad is an incompetent idiot in more ways than one.

A start has also been made to privatise the metallurgical industries, regarded both by the late Shah and the late Ayatollah Khomeini as “strategic”. The Khuzestan Iron and Steel Corporation is to be completely sold while an unknown portion of the giant Mubarakeh Steel Complex in Isfahan is also on offer. The programme further envisages the privations of the banking and insurance sectors, first nationalised in 1979 And who is to say they will not nationalize them again? Won't get fooled again...

Iran buys more than half of its food and some 42 per cent of its gasoline from abroad, and is now busy importing as much as it can to beat future sanctionsNice target those gasoline stockpiles make.

Who knows? Maybe this could show the people what a failure this government really is and cause regeime change.

The problem with “privatisation” is that it can be followed next year, next week, tomorrow, with “nationalisation”.

If Iranian banks agree to loan me the money, I’ll buy everything.
