IT HAS BEGUN: BLAME IRAN FOR HIGH GAS PRICES

Check this OUT: http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/414383p-350211c.html

Instead of putting the blame squarely WHERE IT BELONGS: PRICE GOUGING BY THE OIL INDUSTRY, Our gov't is going to blame IRAN for the price of gas.

Our gov't can't SCARE the people into supporting a war with Iran so they are going to BLAME IRAN for the high gas prices.

Here's the key phrases that would get any mind-numb repuke upset at Iran for the price of gas:



And then they follow up with this pic:

Just think Iran will also probably get a delivery on enriched Uranium.

What's sad is that some people are going to fall for this, lock, stock and barrel.

Hold your nose and read this -- obviously any excuse will do to keep the mainstream from realizing the big money guys are doing with oil the way they did with the Techs in the late 90's.

For those who can't hold their breath that long

"In fact, the U.S. government admits that crude oil inventories are at 7 year record high -- with 343 million barrels of oil stockpiled in the U.S. alone!"

"Oil prices have been severely exaggerated through manipulation. We have been pounding the table stating that there is plenty of supply to meet worldwide demand, and soon those hedge funds that are now driving up the price of oil will be dumping their oil contracts like there is no tomorrow."

Just need to know when to sell.

exact words "This probem has been DECADES in the making".
They are all trying to make it seem like BushCo and cronies are not responsible with the high oil prices. Like W just "inherited" it.

The Dems better not let them get away with this crap!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :mad: :grr: :nuke: :banghead:

some excuses work in the first term but not in the second.
if he'd been sounding the alarm all along that would be one thing, but to wake up in your 6th year in the white house and discover a problem that's been brewing for decades is ridiculous.

This is a problem the GOP has been spending two decades plus sweeping under the rug.

Jimmy Carter recognized the massive crises we would be faced with someday, and being a trained Engineer, understood the decades long transformation required.

Ronnie Raygun abandoned the Carter initiatives for morning in America, and one wonders, for payola from the oil cartels. As I have said before, the initial years of peak oil, the energy crises, whatever you want to call it, are going to result in massive windfall profits for the suppliers of petroleum since effective alternatives will take a years to roll out at a scale to have effect. In other words, keep the addicts hooked.

has nothing to do with it?

This isn't gonna convince very many. That makes it likely the junta will have to resort to other means to get people's emotions to override their critical thinking again. Sorta like what was done prior to invasion of Iraq.

Get yer duck tape, plastic film, canned tuna and powdered milk in order, America.

If oil refineries would be profitable, they'd be building them, take it to the bank, just over the border in Mexico if one assumes the EPA is the problem with building them here. With a flat/decreasing oil curve, new refineries are never going to be built. The guys that spend that kind of money and make those kinds of plans aren't stupid.

If they didn't spend so much time on chickenhawk silly wars like Iraq and Iran they could do something about the economy and the ever increasing debt. Printing money is not the answer. Are we becoming a banana republic?

gap between rich and poor widening, getting closer no doubt.

That extra million barrels a day (LMAO!!) would have saved us... no we are doomed. DOOMED! I say because those worthless caribou get to rut and reproduce.

That million barrels a day is exactly what we import from Saudi Arabia... I keep hearing/reading this shit from Repugs. They've definitely got their talking points in order.

when we don't like them.

And we don't like anyone that messes with OUR oil.

What I find interesting is a recent commentary by Dr. A.M. Samsam Bakhtiari

Bio: A senior expert with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), with some 35 years experience in the international oil and gas industry. He is among the pioneers of the global 'Peak Oil' theory.

. . .

Iran

As for Iran, the usually accepted official 132 bnb is almost one hundred bnb over any realistic assay. If the higher figure was for real, its oil industry would not be struggling day in and day out to keep output at between 3.0 and 3.5 million barrels per day (inclusive of Persian Gulf offshore).

Iraq

To the contrary of my estimated range for Iran, which is lower than Dr. Campbell's, the Iraqi one is markedly higher. The reasons behind this last divergence are twofold:
(1) The eleven Iraqi oil fields awaiting development spearheaded by the three supergiants of 'Majnoun', 'West Qurna II' and 'Nahr Umar'.
(2) The almost untouched 'Western Desert' which could provide momentous surprises ---based upon the 'Golden Horseshoe' theory I have written about in the Oil & Gas Journal (dated July 7, 2003).

. . .

Does it remind you of the bullfighter trying to misdirect the bull. Oh, no, we don't have all that much oil guys, look over there at Iraq, that country you have already invaded.

Or, conversely, it gives credence to the theory that Iraq was invaded for it's oil reserve potential, as many suspect. Iran has been pumping oil for a century, whereas Iraq is a relatively new oil province.

I now have even more research to do! :-D
