US barred Japan from buying gas from Iran, says Rice

;) (j/k)

Now where does Condi get off telling Japan whom not to buy gas from? Isn't that Japan's right? It's not like they're asking Iran to build a couple of nuclear weapons--Japan can do that withouth anyone's help with just a few phonecalls.

The more I see Condi fuck up the last remaining allies we have left, the more I think taking that foreign service exam next month is looking less attractive..:-(

They have been since WW II. Wonder wow our Japanese subjects feel about this?

Don

That is how Empires behave. They "tell" other countries what they can and can not do...

And now we are stopping these sales? Interesting but predictable. Independence from the US? OMG NO!

Looks like a lot of countries are getting in line behind Iran. And with the invasion set for June. Is it a world war if everyone is against 1 country?

Condi is stopping sales from Iran, not Iraq.

without provocation?

Or does the US intend on repaying it's humungous debt -

After all, hasn't the US either broken or opted out of almost every treaty it ever made?

So not paying back loans, that's not a big leap . . .


"A Treasury report this week showed that foreigners now hold $1.96 trillion in Treasury securities, 45 percent of the total that is publicly traded. Japan has the largest holdings at $701.6 billion, followed by China at $194.5 billion. "

I'd be NUTS to invest in Murikka looking at these figures!

Also from the same article:

"The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the deficit in the U.S. account increased by 25.5 percent last year to a record $665.9 billion."
