Interesting....

Are there any reporters putting this into print?

Likely they would be ME local reporters ....although so much is censored over there...I might be guilty of wishful thinking!

.....Are there any reporters putting this into print?.....

None that I know of. Just me sitting here in my sweats stating what seems obvious to me.

It all stems from the question.... Why did Paulson act so close to election day? Would a couple of weeks mattered?

Thanks Ernest!

Michael Ledeen: "...the dramatic drop in oil prices is devastating to the mullahs, who had planned to be able to fund terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East, Europe and the Americas... they were forced to cancel proposed new taxes when the merchant class staged nation-wide protests... No doubt, the Iranians believe the fall in oil prices is the result of satanic will, rather than the shock to demand produced by the runup to $140/barrel. Not for them the subtleties of the free market...
