All over the news! Drudge! Fox! CNN!
oh . . .. but France has been talking about banning Iranian oil imports since November of 2011. . .
and France only accounted for 2% of Irans oil exports. . .
and Iranian oil only accounted for 2.2% of France's oil imports. . .
nothing to see here
Happy WW3 everybody
Do you really have something against the UK :p? You can't even mention it.
Iran Stops Oil Sales to UK, French Companies
So this is another "You can't fire me, I quit!" moment..
EU: "Iran, if you don't stop your nuclear program, all of Europe will stop buying your oil"
Iran: "Fine, I'll just stop selling you my oil"
EU: "WTF!!!! THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR!"
I don't see why people would get so upset about this. They expect Iran to do nothing as sanction after sanction is put upon them?
Guess who will likely gladly purchase that oil? China.
All this posturing is for sissies, I wish someone would just swing and get it over with.
Iran like any individual is free to buy and sell to whom ever they wish. But in the minds of the violent apes who lead us, its too much freedom.
Drudge also reported yesterday that high gas prices in US are setting a new record in US, why is that happening?
Should be replaced with "Dollar loses even more value".Quote:

No one, not even the US is ready for war with Iran. Not any time soon. It will be months at the least.

Israel plays games with the US regularly. While it's true they have a huge influence over US policy, there is a limit, especially with a Democrat administration. The last thing Israel wants is self-destruction, and that's what they can expect if they go it alone.Quote:

Watch what happens in Syria. If Obama intervenes there, which looks much more likely than Iran, he won't be going into Iran any time soon, especially since it will open up an entire new front for Israel.
It's right now I hope for a Paul Presidency. All of this is insane.
MORE SANCTIONS!!!!!!!!!
I say we sanction the Iranian Toys R Us.Quote:

Well, if anyone here reads the bible, the bible does say something along the lines of "When Damascus falls, the end of days will be here" -- No matter how we look at it, if we intervene in Syria and take out Damascus, it's going to throw the world into WW3 and if we invade Iran, it's going to throw the world into WW3. There is not stopping this, makes me wonder how long before they re-implement the draft.
I've been hearing that Israel is mere months away from bombing Iran for several years now. FUD, SSDD.Quote:

Well there's one thing for certain - if the US invades Syria, they will need to deploy a lot of troops to protect Israel and potentially Saudi oil fields. They will be permanent deployments, so if the US is to invade Iran after invading Syria, they will NEED the draft.Quote:

If they attack Iran even with our help they are doomed. Iran will burn Tel-Aviv to the ground with fuel air bombs. The people pushing for this war either think Israel is invincible or know very well this will start WW3 and the total destruction of Israel. Israel is not invincible and will be wiped out if they attack Iran.Quote:

You believe the story that Iran was trying to assassinate some ambassador here in the US?Quote:

Of course Israel will fall eventually. It never stood a chance. Israel will be more concerned about Syria and Egypt than Iran. Iran would not attack Israel if there were US troops stationed there. The US will undoubtedly deploy assets to Israel to help, at least until attacks become completely overwhelming.Quote:
