10. Then understand the real reason, the nuclear threat is bullshit!
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 03:28 AM by Zinfandel
STOP listening to the mainstream media and BushCo and what they are telling you the reason is about Iran's nuclear power...it's just pushing more...FEAR!!! Just like Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction more pushing of...FEAR!!!

This is just another Bush smokescreen Bush he lies about EVERYTHING and he's lying about this as well...

This is from a right-wing business site...

"Jonas, I believe we must engage the enemy on his own soil, or do it here. We cannot allow Iran to go to a euro denominated oil. It can't be allowed to happen. The effects on our economy would be astounding possibly devastating. Iran has given us the edge, we can institute sanctions, punish them economically and ensure their oil stays pegged to the dollar, quarantee the success of Iraq all under the ospice the U. N. security council. Europe backs us, India doesn't want to, but after the remarks from Iran's leader they have no choice. Israel backs strikes against Iran, no surprise. You cannot allow a maniac to have nukes. Russia could pull a rabbit out of a hat and astound us all with their control over Iran, but so far they have not shown a willingness to do so, however there is time. When bonds have a strong showing on Monday and throughout the week it will be the strongest signal we have had in this amazingly risky venture. Personally I have not made a dinar purchase in months I have been waiting and watching for a clear definitive signal. If next week goes as the experts are predicting, I go all in next friday. Lance"

This is from a more moderate site...

Similar to the Iraq war, military operations against Iran relate to the macroeconomics of ‘petrodollar recycling’ and the unpublicized but real challenge to U.S. dollar supremacy from the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency.

It is now obvious the invasion of Iraq had less to do with any threat from Saddam’s long-gone WMD program and certainly less to do to do with fighting International terrorism than it has to do with gaining strategic control over Iraq’s hydrocarbon reserves and in doing so maintain the U.S. dollar as the monopoly currency for the critical international oil market. Throughout 2004 information provided by former administration insiders revealed the Bush/Cheney administration entered into office with the intention of toppling Saddam Hussein.<1><2>

Candidly stated, ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ was a war designed to install a pro-U.S. government in Iraq, establish multiple U.S military bases before the onset of global Peak Oil, and to reconvert Iraq back to petrodollars while hoping to thwart further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency (i.e. “petroeuro”).<3> However, subsequent geopolitical events have exposed neoconservative strategy as fundamentally flawed, with Iran moving towards a petroeuro system for international oil trades, while Russia evaluates this option with the European Union.
