Oil prices resumed climbing yesterday as ...

Really? Can't you?

Nope.

Really? Can't you?

Only one country ever has.

Yes, but that was totally justified and ended the Second World War months and maybe years before it would have done otherwise.

I'll settle for them not trading with us if they will abandon building nuclear weapons. They simply cannot be trusted despite what the PC brigade say.

Problem is I'm sure they think the same way about us. Cannot be trusted.

Lets see.... Iraq ( more than once ), Afghanistan, Lebanon .... ... Hamas win an election BY the people and we refuse to recognise it ......nah lets bygones be bygones shall we?

[Cyberman]

Nope.

Of course you can't.

I don't care what they think, I just know what they would do if they had nuclear weapons.

Of course you can't.

Guess it because when brains were being handed out you heard trains and missed yours.

Look, bottom line is the USA, Israel or Iran cannot find it in themselves to trust each other. So, if they all have the capabilities they claim each party holds his own and nothing happens. You cannot want something and refuse someone else to have it. It just does not work like that especially when your superpower capabilities are fast being caught up by countries around you.

Its logic.

Is that the same thing that Iraq was supposed to do with their "Weapons of MASS Destruction"??

Oh .... they didnt have any .... we thought they did and wiped em out..... but hey cmon trust us.

Errrr why?

Guys, do you think its a good time to change from working in the finance/banking industry to the Oil industry?? I mean whenever the financial industry(and other industties ) enters a recession, Oil companies seems the only one that survive the crunch and actually make record poprofits..

[lilelvis2000]

Lets see. Attack Iran and Oil prices go through the roof. Dick Cheney's old company makes even more billions. hmm... well its a done deal then!
Then they could build that pipline from Afghanistan through Iran, instead of annexing south-western Pakistan.

Iran attack Israel. LOL will never happen. the reverse? Its a matter of when no if. But I see parallel-speak with what was said prior to Iraq.

You need to understand the over-the-top nature of Iranian rhetoric.

Their version of "Welcome to my house. Please come in" translates literally as "Please step upon my eyeball".

Their version of "How are the kids?" translates literally as "Your children are the crown upon your head. I long to die a martyr's death for them".

So testing missiles is just their way of saying "Steady on chaps. Let's have a chat about Israel".
