Iran threatens to stop Gulf oil if sanctions widened

[Gargamel]

I kind of hope they do. I would like to see them finally eradicated instead of this stupid pointless sanctioning and keeping wait until the last possible second that they have a nuke. Anybody else with me?

Post-Iraq it will never happen.

They could have a video of Ahmadinnerjacket dancing to YMCA next to a big red button on the launch pad of a missile painted in big red letters "NUKE".... and no one would do a damn thing... except the Israelis of course...

As much as I'd like to see Ahmadinejad stabbed in the asshole with a knife, I think it's all just a bluff to bolster support internally.

Iran's been saying the same shit about closing the Strait of Hormuz for the past 20+ years. This is nothing new whatsoever.

Any rumor of mines in that channel will stop all traffic. they are desperate so we will see what happens

Another day in the middle east....

(Tinfoil Hat). I wonder if those fucks don't do it sometimes to buy low then sell high with their own supply. Knowing China or Russia will take every bit they can produce. They could have bought futures a month ago caused a scare and make a ton.

[SMKR]

Or we could just drill and pump here..... So stupid.

All this we are drilling down here in south Texas is going overseas to China

In the meantime, Barry is shutting down a Canadian pipe-line that would provide oil AND jobs. Go figure...

What jobs is the pipeline going to create? Are we shipping oil to canada, or are they going to be shipping it here? I don't really keep up with all that so I don't know.

Instead of posting dumb shit, why don't you do a little research for yourself. You can start at www.google.com and go from there.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but this is another smoke and mirror job by politicians. The proposed pipeline is supposed to move oil from Canada to the Gulf. It would create several thousand (10K based on one article I read) jobs, but most would be limited to the construction period only. In the end, the oil would flow from Canada, through the US, and then to another country as opposed to staying here. Meanwhile, we collect no tax revenue on the whole process (again, not 100% sure on this one).

Can someone tell me why the fuck we don't just start building refineries in N. Dakota, Montana, and the like? Shit, we should have lots of nuclear sites there too.

Exactly. They've made the same threat so many times that I've lost count.
And it's always worked for them sooo well in the past.
Iran: "We'll blockade the Straights of Hormuz"
Us: *moves another carrier battle group into the gulf*
Iran: "My bad, yo."
