Rice to UN---Sanction Iran over Nuclear Activity!

[The Whiskey Priest]

If Iran were to be successful in building a nuclear bomb, the US could well have played a major part in that success.

According to James Risen in his book, State of War, in February 2000, the CIA talked a Russian émigré into tossing the plans to a Russian nuclear weapon triggering device over the transom of the Iranian Embassy in Vienna. All part of an operation codenamed “Merlin.” The plan was to give them the blueprints for the device, which had errors in them, so that they would go down the wrong paths. The only thing was the errors were so blatantly obvious that they could be spot very quickly. According to several nuclear physicists there was much to be learned from the incorrect plans. No one in the administration wants to talk about this FUBAR.

Now the administration wants sanctions.

3. Quick!! Stop those Iranians from selling oil in euros!! Those bastards!!

How dare those pesky Iranians sell our oil in euros!!
:sarcasm:

That's the real message and the real reason for 'sanctions'. If they get sanctioned, then the bourse (a new trading market for oil, which in Iran's case will be in euros) is a non-issue.

The oil bourse is in March!! A successful bourse means the dollar tanks (as many countries empty their central banks of dollars in exchange for euros). Oil prices for us would be unbearable (gas too).

Just wait.

This is why Israel plans to attack in March (unless they stop the bourse through sanctions).

4. The BushCo wheels are starting to turn.

They will be escalating from this point on. Rethugs have always thought war is good business (as long as someone else does the fighting).
