They used to rattle sabers. Now they rattle oil barrels.

#11  Excellent! The oil will be under US control. And don't forget the Eastern Arabia. Let's go and make a killing.

Kinda heavy when they're full. Did the Iron Shiekh come out of retirement to do this for them?

#8  It won't be long before oil dependency drops significantly. We're on the cusp of a whole lot of commercial breakthroughs in info tech that will reduce the number of miles people drive to offices for employment, among other factors. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen and it will undercut the oil producing economies dramatically.

#7  LOL,
With current oil prices I've already switched to fuelling my car with Balvaneys 15 years old Double Casket single malt whiskey. Comes very handy when you get thirsty on the road :)

#6  It might be $150/barrel, but I'd only invade as far as necessary to secure the Gulf and make those barrels OUR barrels. An Iran war should at least be a break-even war.

#5  It's still worth it. Besides, we will take over the oil within weeks. Afterall, we are crusaders and invaders doing it just for the oil, right?

Fred, please remember the old Chinese saying.

"An empty barrel drum makes the most noise."

Especially when you beat it.

#2  Compared to what price if Iran test-fires a nuke and starts issuing ultimatums?

#1  Sigh. The PakiWaki Daily Dump script is hosed on the CDate function, again. Prolly can't make up their minds about the format. Squirrels.

But on with the show...

Invade? Where do they get their military advice? Oh, other numbnutz reporters, nevermind...
