Sounds like the Germans, French, and Russians will have to give Iran a vigorous ass-kissing.
To paraphrase Monty Python: "all the oil you can eat".

We're going to hold our breath and stomp our feet until you let us have nuclear weapons.....
I say we use the AF and make the decision for them.
If we don't get our way, we will attempt to destabilize global economy. Oh - OK - how about if we just start with you?
I'd like to see their import/export balance sheet - see how long they would last without trade.
Time for the US to get more energy independant -
If you can - I have no agenda other than fuel independance - check out Honda Civic hybrid.
Can you say Green River Oil reserves?
Something loaded with "nuts"?
A group of Iranian Revolutionary Guards march during a military parade to commemorate the start of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war in Tehran September 22nd, 2005. To cries of 'God is Great', Iran showed off its military might and warned potential aggressors that the Islamic state would vigorously repel any attack. (Raheb Homavandi/Reuters)
Reuters forgot to include the scribbling on those white flags of surrender which is in Farsi. "We Are Morons True & Blue Let Us Surrender To You!"
US could always block oil exports from Iran from Iraq and Afghanistan, even China and Russia wants it. Sanction by political terms is just one of the options. However, I think it would have been better for India and Japan to cast an absent vote remaining neutral to avoid China from gaining access of Iran's oil.
The headline alone got me laughing. Are these guys serious? They think this is a serious threat?
It is what the euroweenies do best. I hear the Mullahs shaved extra close for this.
They cannot do this. Without the revenue from oil, their economy would collapse, followed in short order by the regime.
They know this, so this is an empty threat.
The army of Klanistan?
Bush is a fool if he does not exploit this to the fullest for America becoming energy independent by pushing agenda for domestic exploration, drilling, production, refineries and pipelines.
"Bush is a fool..."
Yup. Cuz he probably won't.
Why everybody is keen for a war against Iran, I don't quite get. Gasoline might go to $6 a gallon here. If that doesn't trigger a recession, we'll be lucky.
