EU to cease buying Iranian crude oil

  1. hee hee, this whole ME thing is funny. The US is not supporting Israel like they were some defenseless little country that needs help, they are restraining Israel from taking over a very much larger chunk of territory!! It's been like that since the Six Day War...

    The US has reduced it's dependency on ME oil since the embargo of the '70's.. maybe if Iran closed the straits of Hormuz and the US, or anybody for that matter, sunk their entire force nothing much would come of it? What, a few days of oil shock and then back to normal...

  2. Europe agreed to agree on the principle, but do not yet agree on whether they would implement it, and on when they would do it.

    So we don't want Iran to have the bomb.

    While we have thousands.

    Because they might use it.

    Like we did in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, huh?

    Thats right asshole, we don't want Iran to use a nuclear weapon like we did at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Grow a brain and realize that Japan attacked *us* on our own soil. That simply isn't done and they got off lightly not to mention that the lives of tens of thousands of soldier, sailors and airmen were spared the suicidal task of invading Japan.

    Welcome to P&R.

    And we wouldn't want them to gas their own people like Saddam did with US made gas now would we?

    Use whatever brain cells you have and not believe the propaganda our government (regardless of who occupies the White House) pushes on the sheeple that they are "protecting" us, boo who, while outspending the rest of the world combined on the military.

    Yet we are so righteous about others wanting the same kind of "protection".

    Iran wants it because Israel has it. Same as Pakistan/India N.Korea/USA and whatever other two fighting nations in the future.

    Preseident Eisenhower, seeing what wars and the war machine can do, warned this country half a century ago about the military industrial complex. We didn't listen then and are tone-deaf today as well. That is except Ron Paul.

    Bin Laden's legacy is the USA collapsing economically not from taking down two buildings in lower Manhattan but from being the world's policeman.

    Except it didn't actually work that way. The Japanese were completely willing to fight all the way into the heart of Tokyo. Their own letters, recently brought to light, reveal this. It was when they realized they weren't getting Stalin's help that they decided to surrender. The delicious irony of nukes is that, you may deprive the other guy of a city, but you don't get to have it, either.

    And you get to pick up the tab for "protecting" them for 60 years and counting.

    We are such big spenders. Don't you wish everyone could be that way. All you need is a very BIG printing press, lots of paper and lots of ink.

    All the entitlements and bombs a people could ask for.
