    "Iran says oil could reach $500 on dollar, politics" - Reuters

    http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt...63746220080726

    "Iran's OPEC governor said world oil prices could reach as high as $500 per barrel in a few years' time if the U.S. dollar falls further and political tension worsens, an Iranian weekly said."

      LOL, thats pretty funny.

      Some people in Iran really think thier standing military could hold off the united states military. Iraq said the same shitand Iraq had a larger Military than Iran. Difference though is United States would not stay in Iran ...

      United States would just blow apart thier infrastructure, kill all the government leaders then leave and probably have it all done in less than 2 weeks.

                On the other hand, the US army has defeated German children/elderly in 1945, has defeated camels in the Iraqi desert, and drug dealers, students in theology in Afghanistan.

                Bravo. You can be proud of the US army.

                  The US army feared the Japs so they dropped 2 atomic bombs. Israelis fear Iranians and will end up doing the same.

                    What makes you think the US blowing apart Iran would affect oil prices?
                    If Iraq is any indication, taking control of the oil fields will only result in higher prices, not lower.

                      Only because Johnson was a pussy...

                      Had the government been run by someone with half a brain and not a career politician we would have went in and kicked their ass in a few weeks...

                      Bush is a retard... He gave his advisers 3 weeks to come up with a plan for what would happen after we killed off the Iraqi government. had we waiting 3 months our occupation would have ended almost immediately...

                      But we are there to siphon off oil $1 Billion dollars at a time... The sad shit is that Iran thinks you and I are profiting from it... We are not... Only Bush and his buddies... If only they read GFY and realized we are just as mad as they are.

                        Since there really IS no reason to attack Iran for defense...

                        Why would the USA attack Iran?

                        I thought you Americans were nice people, who felt bad about infecting the indians with smallpox to take the land you live on today? I thought that was a dark spot of history.. Oh and the whole Hiroshima thing yeah... And slavery, thought you felt bad about that... Oh oh oh!! And what about Iraq, you only went there because of the very real national defense threat they posed, right?

                        Just admit it. You go to war to secure your stranglehold.

                        If that's the case, I think the USA should be labeled a pirate, terrorist nation?

                        That's how you'd classify any other country who did these kinds of things, no?

                          you may contact the President of Iran directly by making a comment on his blog

                          he says he spends 15 minutes per week on it, maybe you'll convince him...

                            South Korea is doing pretty good for itself, the North not so good. As for Vietnam, their wartime General has stated that they were a beaten force after Tet and would have done anything for peace. Then they saw Cronkite on the TV claiming the war was lost and realized they could win by waiting out the American public; they let the U.S. press win it for them.

                            Hardly getting your ass kicked.

                                Socks, we are nice people. Our govt. damn sure doesn't represent us. Our govt. is freakin' spying on us and throwing all of us in jail for stupid shit like getting high, paying for pussy, creating porn....basically everything I love is against the law.

                                Most people I meet whether here or in other parts of the world are nice people.

                                But the people who seek and gain political power are a very different breed. Their motivations aren't the same as you or I.

                                So "no" WE aren't trying to consolidate our stranglehold. And WE didn't choose to do any of the things that were mentioned. The government did.

                                And you better believe if you even THINK about overthrowing the U.S. govt., your home will be surrounded by troops and you and your family will be dead...and the press will report that you were some kind of militant nutjob, or worse a "terrorist".

                                It's not the people...it's the govts of the world that are fucked up. I think it always has been that way.

                                    Korea

                                    I seem to recall Macarthur cutting into Incheon and advancing like wildfire deep into North Korea. One of the greatest military maneuvers of all time.

                                    As Macarthur came closer to the Chinese border the US government greatly limited his military options hindering his advance. Politicians fucked that war up not the military.

                                    The same thing with Vietnam.

                                      Study the battle of Iwo Jima or some of those other Pacific battles and you'll see what the problem was in regard to Japan.

                                        BTW,

                                        There is no way in hell oil will hit $500 per barrel.

                                        We have already seen substantial demand destruction at $140+.

                                        China already subsidizes oil because of the high price.

                                          They really don't need all that many soldiers... A very effective plan would be to have spotters inside Iran and use surgical strikes to take out all the core leaders followed up by massive bombings to take out the military and infrastructure. The US has shown that they are very effective at the last step, it's the first one they often fail at.

                                            Iran sells it's oil to China, it doesn't sell it's oil to United States. Iranian oil doesn't benifit the United States in any way. If Iran stoped selling Oil today, it would force China to source other countries to provide it oil.

                                            We currently have contracts with the Saudi, and even Venezuela.

                                            Lastly, I know we think of ourselves as a great power, but the Russians nor China would want us to stop Iran from selling them oil. We would have to this on our own, and while we can bomb them. China and Russia may actually step into this, and tell us no you can't.

                                                We currently have contracts with the Saudi, and even Venezuela.

                                                One of the chinese ministers already said bombing Iran is a very bad idea.
