Prepare for war and $5/gal. gasoline because our idiotic peace president thinks he can fuk with another countries source of income. If these sanctions get passed through congress you can count on Iran doing something about it.

"If they (the West) impose sanctions on Iran's oil exports, then even one drop of oil cannot flow from the Strait of Hormuz," the official Iranian news agency IRNA quoted Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi as saying. Rahimi's remarks coincided with a 10-day Iranian naval exercise in the Strait and nearby waters, a show of military force that began on Saturday. "Our enemies will give up on their plots against Iran only if we give them a firm and strong lesson," Rahimi said.

Whats next Iran attacking the Carl Vinson.

[Emily_Haines]

Whats next Iran attacking the Carl Vinson.

They don't need to. All they have to do is say they're going to attack any tanker passing through the straight and that threat alone will add a $1-2 to the price of a gallon of gas. Plus no country is going to put their tankers and cargo at risk if a potential of attack is probable.

[KingJD31]

Anything that pisses emily and forsberg off Im in favor of lets do it baby $5 gallon gas sounds great now your foodstamp welfare ass will be out of this country

[Ace_of_Spades]

So be it it then. We can't do much.

This is exactly the kind of stupidity that goes on in our foreign policy that Ron Paul talks about and yet another reason to vote for Ron Paul.

Them Irainians need to google "neutron bomb".

yeah we might as well just kill a few more million innocent people halfway around the world that have never threatened us. that will bring the u.s. back to a position of respect and prosperity in the world.

[FourLengthsClear]

As 'lines in the sand' go this is quite a bold one.

Rhetoric is rhetoric though and Iran is not going to be sinking any commercial ships.

It's in our national interest to maintain uninterrupted global oil supply. If they attack an unarmed oil tanker in international waters they must burn. You would stand by and do nothing and allow them to hold the world hostage and drive the world into an economic depression where millions will die of starvation? I got a better idea; fry them(if they attack oil tankers in international water).

i see your point, but i think you are being WAY over dramatic.

why are you so angry about a bunch of people halfway across the world that are only trying to protect their own best interests?
iraq/afghanistan/pakistan/syria/iran/lybia - the only thing these countries have done wrong is to sit on oil and be close to israel.
the u.s. media's job is to sell wars and acts of agression that are not in u.s. citizens' long-term best interests.

[xraygord]

All because the U.S.A. can't mid their own business. Tsk, tsk.

[Sam Odom]

Look up the "Carter Doctrine" , yeah Jimmy Carter

Free fair flow of crude is of national interest and the USA will use all means necessary to keep it that way

[Cougar Bait]

Let's ask Ron Paul what to do.

let's just say that carrots grow best in the united states. would you like it if another country that wanted carrots got to tell us what they thought was a fair price, built bases in our country to protect THEIR interest in our carrots (!), and bombed us if we didn't give them our carrots?

i have no idea why most people think it's the united states' right or obligation to tell the rest of the world what to do. we had the greatest, most respected country in the world with no federal income taxes and no military presence outside the u.s.

i guess jimmy carter was a puppet of BIG OIL

[milwaukee mike]

i guess jimmy carter was a puppet of BIG OIL

do you realize who was the biggest oil producer in the world at that time? that's right the good ol USA. so at that time jimmy carter was protecting our best interest by saying countries like the soviet union shouldn't just be able to invade afghanistan to steal their resources.
sound familiar?

[Sam Odom]

soviet union shouldn't just be able to invade afghanistan to steal their resources.

sound familiar?

What resources are Obama trying to 'steal' in Afghanistan?

[big0mar]

We have spent the last 20 years, countless amounts of money, and many American lives just to surround Iran

Now that we have them surrounded, they have no options

Its go time boys

Who cares? A few years of economic struggle for America will be worth it in the long run.

An attack on an oil tanker would be exactly what we need now.

[ShawNee922]

Them Irainians need to google "neutron bomb".

Amen ... Idle threats cannot be the way to slide a Nuke program through.

a google search of "recent mid-east turmoil" should return the names of 2 Countries... ( Iraq and Afghanistan) ... Both wars fought over natural resources...Nuff said.

You're saying that only because Obama is Black

If they made you pro war idiots actually pay for and go fight these stupid wars these Neocon's would get zero support.

I pay plenty of taxes. My corporation pays plenty of taxes.

America is great. You just pay a cover charge and they will secure the world's resources for you.
