2. If you mean invading countries,taking their oil, charging high

prices and making Billions of dollars of profit, then yes,that's what it's all about.

3. Brit Hume: "and I'm thinking 'Mmmm....Time to buy!'"

shares in Exxon-Mobil, and won't the market magic rub off on Halliburton as well?

4. Don't worry...

"The US Energy Secretary, Sam Bodman, has maintained that the country would be in "good shape" if Iran did put a stop on its oil exports, thanks to America's emergency stockpile of almost 700 million barrels of crude oil."

Give that man a big hand. What a sense of humor!

Let's see, the US does not use Iranian oil, so only those Euro types and Asians would be incommoded. Presumably, the Iranians would pay all the costs of us attacking them, you know, the way Iraq has.

If I were an oil exec, I'd be worried about the idiots running this country. I know as a regular Joe Six-pack I am.

5. War with Iran will mean world war eventually

because it'll be the rest of the world that suffers for it. We will have to be stopped, and the rest of the world will unite to do it.

Stock will be worthless. We'll be lucky to get out of it with our lives and a couple of pots and pans, no food to cook in them.

If Congress doesn't stop this administration, the rest of the world will.

6. Warpy has a good point

Congress needs to do their job. All that we have is a bunch of greedy no good crooks who are in it for the lobbying money. They could care less about doing the job they were elected to do.

8. I believe that you have accurately predicted the future and it's

grim for all including those who will have to stop it.

7. There you have it. And just the threat could run up the price by

another $1.50 per gallon at the pump. What a scam! Somehow the thugs in charge must be reined in.
