#1 The only technology Iran is interested in comes from Norinco.

#2 I guess they figured out a way of pumping that crude out of the ground, after their oil infastructure is blown straight to hell! Even the US isn't stupid enough not to realize that if it can't reap the benefits of the black gold, China and others won't either!!

#3 They just bought themselves a security council vote.

China's going to make us negotiate until Iran has a nuclear weapon.

#4 "China's going to make us negotiate until Iran has a nuclear weapon."

Or not. Who really gives a rat's ass about the UN or the UNSC? Sheesh.

Bush sez they will not be allowed to acquire them. Who do I believe? You few hereabouts -- or Bush? I'll go with Bush.

You can beat me bloody if he fails, K?

And I'll happily stomp you like a June Bug if he doesn't.

Fair 'nuff?

#5 Bush tends to do what he says he will do, on issues that he cares about.

Fasten your seatbelts, folks ... gonna be an interesting year. What with the midterm elections plus the mullahs plus our boy hugo.

#7 Iran aims to become top supplier of oil to China

Which is why from day one I've been saying that paralysing or crippling the Kargh Island pumping complex should be one of our primary targets.

China must be made to understand that their meddling and destabilization of global security comes with a price tag attached.

#8 OTOH, More Oil = More Chinese-specific
"modernization" = MORE LOCAL CHINESE + OFFICIALS WANTING PRIVATE WEALTH-INFLUENCE + LESS GOVT. INTERFERENCES = greater risk that the CCP will "implode" on its own.
