I think if anything is done this issue will cause a global war. Think China is just going to sit back and let oil prices wreck their economy. Plus you have Russia who is pretty friendly toward Iran.
Russia would like oil to go up...
China? it's hard to tell what they can do.
I think it will happen before Bush leaves office, but that's just an opinion...
Plus Russia is "friendly" to anyone who does business with them. If you put money in Russia's pocket, their your "friend".
Gotta love the way they embraced capitalism

'US builds 4 bases on Iraq-Iran border' Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:42:19
The US military has constructed four advanced bases 20 miles from Iraq's border with Iran, a senior Iraqi police officer has announced.
The bases, equipped with missile launch pads, have been set up over the past four months on the Iraq-Iran border; Iraqi al-Noor newspaper quoted the official as saying.
He added that one of the bases has been located 30 km (20 miles) from the first border town with Iran and houses remote-controlled launching pads as well as radar systems similar to ones used in Kuwait during the first Persian Gulf war.
"The bases do not serve military intentions and its staff would not be military personnel."
According to the official, the bases are only precautionary measures in case of a military strike against Israel by Iran.
A team consisting of high-profile US marines, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) alongside Pentagon experts oversee the bases.

It IS going to happen - it must. As I've said many times before, Israel can NOT allow Iran to have a nuke if they want to survive. Additionally, Israel can not take the chance that the socialist Barack Hussein will become President. Therefore, a strike against Iran MUST occur before the election. Whether the US will have the character to do the right thing and lead the attack is doubtful. Israel will probably need to do our dirty work for us!

Pakistan urges India to act quickly on proposed gas pipeline from Iran The Associated Press Published: June 27, 2008
NEW DELHI: Pakistan pressed India on Friday to move ahead quickly on a proposed US$7 billion gas pipeline from Iran that would serve both India and Pakistan, saying it was desperately needed to help both economies meet their growing energy needs.
Despite the mutual benefit, bickering over prices and Indian fears about the pipeline's security as it runs through longtime rival Pakistan have held up progress. The project has also faced intense opposition from the United States.
"This is a project that can help us mitigate our problems vis-a-vis energy shortages," Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said at a joint news conference with his Indian counterpart in New Delhi.
Qureshi was in India for talks on the ongoing peace-process between the nuclear-armed South Asian rivals.

I'm Barack Obama's cousin says Raila Odinga By Mike Pflanz in Nairobi Last Updated: 2:04AM GMT 09/01/2008
Kenya's defeated presidential challenger Raila Odinga has claimed to be a cousin of Barack Obama and said that they had discussed his country's post-election violence.
* Kibaki offers talks with Kenyan rival Odinga * Obama senses victory as voting begins
Mr Odinga, 63, said that the US senator's father, from western Kenya's Luo tribe, was his maternal uncle.
"He has called me to talk about the destabilising constitutional crisis in this country, despite being in the middle of the very busy New Hampshire primary," Mr Odinga said yesterday.
Mr Obama's spokesman Robert Gibbs confirmed that the senator spoke to the Kenyan opposition leader on Monday afternoon for about five minutes before going into a rally in New Hampshire, according to Associated Press.
as for being anti-white? i'm not about to follow ANYBODY cuz of the color of their skin.. white or black or brown or red...
if you think i should have supported Hillary cuz she's white, then you would have had me ignore a whole mess of things she and her husband have done that i beleive were very wrong.
you may have noticed that i am happy we we have Mccain and Obama up there, happy and quiet...
each of them have things that i like and each have things i can't stand...
for instance? when Obama starts talking gun bans? i'll be critisizing heavily... as for calling him a socialist? i just don't see it...
it's not my fault that the Republicans have screwed up as bad as they have.
IF congressional GOP's had shown ANY backbone and stood up to Bush's idiotic plans? the GOP wouldn't be having its butt handed to it in the recent and coming elections. I am a GOP. I'm not happy about what has happened at all.

What have the clintons done that turns your stomach so much? i don think hey have a clean record but neitherr does Obama --
I also think many americans are so traumtized they will choose the devil cause of their hatred of what bush has done to this country -
How about Obama? No expeience, no accomplishments -associates with racists an I do think he is racist because no person would sit in a pew and listen to anti-white speech for 20 yrs - His rap buddies that contribte to his campaign yet mosy rap music is so detrimetal to good values - so, to me Obama has no integrity in so many ways - from Wright to his support of Indiga, to his buddies of rap music, etc...
The Republicans have screwed up big time and why emotionally Obama can be prez - but he is way to liberal ---
Guess- somehow americans have to take their country back - The leaders have screwed us -

hmmm... still can't find anything but rumors about the connection between them... Obama might be his cousin? so what? his Dad abandoned him when he was 2 or soemthing...
furthermore? it appears that Odinga is not a Muslim EITHER... he's an Anglican...
when i try to find out what is true or not, i am not necessarily supporting an issue, just looking for the truth...
i really dislike the idea that people vote on other people based on lies and rumors.

TOO LATE! You're already working under a plan where the taxpayers are forced to support people who are too lazy to work. However, before Barack Hussein, we haven't had a true socialist running for President. The socialists' goal is to seize power. It's as simple as that. They are VERY DANGEROUS!

in case you haven't been paying attention PM? our whole economy is teetering on the brink of collapse again, despite the bailout of Bear Sterns. Seems to me that if real socialists wanted to? they could just walk in and take over as this mess gets worse, and it's going to get worse....
all of this is not because of socialists. it's Wall St that has done it.

good Lord...
Are you on steroids? No, really... I don't mean that as a smart-azz remark.
We must, at some point, question WHAT ARE the Bushies doing? Certainly they have enough money... Certainly they have respect and power within their circle of influence.
So...why bankrupt the USA? Why force every working person into a squeeze play among mortgages, fuel and food?

"But Jafari warned that if attacked, Iran would strike back, including choking off the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a narrow outlet for oil tankers leaving the Persian Gulf."
"About 60 percent of the world's oil passes through the strait."
Where would that put oil prices???

If Iran is attacked the American citizens will actually feel the pain. If Iran can clog the straight the US would come to a stand still!

i would be more worried about Iranian terror cells than the Iranians lasting more than 48 hours in a naval battle in the straits... it would be a very HOT 48 hours tho.
we've been doing "exersizes" over there for a long time.
the strait is 21 miles wide, and the shipping channel is very narrow, but it is pretty deep.. deep enough that they shouldn't be able to simply block it with a sunken ship...
