False Jitters Over Iran, and Israel

Jim Hoagland - Jitters Over Iran - washingtonpost.com:

"So you might want to consider battening down the hatches and getting the bomb shelters ready, just in case."

Actually Jim, look around this week-end, and you will notice that it is really quiet. No warmongering at all.

Why? Well they got the price of oil back up. So none of the Seyyed or Republican Peak Oil advocates is worried. But wait, once the price drops again, and their war of words will begin. We will have the Israelis firing missiles over the Mediterranean, and the Seyyed's IRGC firing more across the Straits of Hormuz, for target practice.

That will get the Arabs to go ape shit and start buying the futures contracts, and hey presto the price of oil will be well and truly near $200.

Congressman wants to stop US exports to Iran's madmen

Lawmaker wants review of US exports to Iran - Yahoo! News:

"Rep. David Scott, vice chairman of the House subcommittee on terrorism, nonproliferation and trade, said Friday that he will press for a congressional review of sanctions enforcement following an Associated Press investigation that found U.S. exports to Iran rose from about $8 million in 2001, Bush's first year in office, to nearly $150 million last year."

Well, it is about time, wakey wakey US.

No war with Iran's Seyyeds during Olympics?

Newshoggers.com: More Iranian Rumors:

"Once the six week negotiation period passes, and the real negotiations begin, the clock is ticking. This time period is not an accident, there is a reason why the six week time period was insisted upon by several nations of the six party talks, including China. The six week period insures that war will not break out during the Olympics, and with this condition established heads of state will be in attendance..."

That's the power of China, and Japan. But I think that would be the best time to raise the temperature. At that point the Chinese will push their Seyyed proxies to forget their dogmatic attitude.

Iran's Seyyed isolation grows leads to become China's proxy in Middle East

Iran isolation grows as France's Total cancels $10bn South Pars gas field project - Times Online:

"Efforts to isolate Tehran have scored a political and economic hit with a decision by France's Total group, the last big western energy company in Iran, to halt plans to develop huge natural gas reserves in the Gulf."

Does this mean that the Chinese are going to do this project as well. Why doesn't someone say something to the Chinese?

But Norway is still dealing with Iran's Seyyeds

Bloomberg.com: Europe: Total Postpones Plan to Invest in Iranian Gas Project:

"StatoilHydro ASA, Norway's biggest oil and gas producer, said today it will remain in Iran and complete a project to develop phases six to eight of South Pars."

Why? What's with the Scandinavians? They were all for banning the cartoons, and now this. What is the relationship between the Seyyeds and Norway? I know, Dynamite. Seyyeds love bombs. Where was it invented?

Iran's Seyyeds buying gold perhaps?

Bloomberg.com Commodities: Gold Gains on Mounting Iranian Tensions, Equity Market Slump :

"Crude-oil futures rose after Iran, the second-largest petroleum producer in the Middle East, tested more missiles in the Persian Gulf."

But what this report does not refer to, is that we had so much money being returned to Iran from EU after the closure of banks.

Why the U.S. (Probably) Won't attack Iran

Tom Engelhardt, talks as if the Iranians are a bunch of zombies, who cannot take care of the Seyyeds themselves, and like the Iraqis need the US to interfere.

On Iran: Obama's "direct diplomacy" is a bad excuse

What is it that direct diplomacy would do? The Seyyed would tell him that he is an apostate.How much clearer can the UN get after all these years?

War for Iran's Oil - an illusion.

The problem is purely based on speculative trading on the oil contracts. In fact if there was a war, the price would crash, as the Seyyeds would be defeated, and the Straits of Hormuz would be safe. False fear pricing is a lot worse, than the actual reality.
