They have indexed their oil to the Euro. The bastards. Not the dollar, as it ever has been. But the Euro. This is economic war.

2. The economic war began within and continues within America..........
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 04:38 AM by Double T
don't blame ANYONE ELSE for the weak dollar other than the wall street and corporate america criminals powered by congress and the WH. 'WE' are our own worst enemy and 'WE' need to do something fast before our nation falls into ruin.

8. I was being sarcastic
this is the "real" reason the oligarchy wants its US government to invade Iran, but it's one reason you'll never hear

instead it will be terror terror terror, Iran killing aMurkans

4. All wars are economic
When "they" say our national security is at stake they mean oil money.

14. the oligarchs will not stand for any little pissant country
taking a nickel out of their bank accounts

It doesn't matter how many low- and middle-income aMurkans have to die, we MUST protect the wealth of the oligarchs.

5. I think America is cool with the idea now.
A few cranks who just don't get it, like we here, don't want another war right now for some silly reason, but for the average American idiot on the street the coming war on Iran is cool.

7. I am sure Saddam did that before the war also. If you think
about what that mean you can see the point of the money people wanting to go to war. Every time any one buys oil and it goes under the dollar the money people make a little on the deal. The reason for this Iraq war is not talked about much in that line but I think it was the major reason for the whole thing. Then I also think we have Chaney and I think I recall he was very war like when he was running the DOD and Iran was in his sights then. He had to cut the armed forces as Congress cut the money, if I recall right. Bush the first was the one that cut the armed forces. I think we will be at war with them before Bush is gone. Not that I did not think the Middle East was always going to blow if they could not get their act together and Bush made sure they could not get their act together. I am not sure if he did not think he was doing the right thing as I think he believes he is the man who knows what is best for us all.

12. it was a major reason for the actions against Iraq
ever since the Euro was conceived, Saddam kept threatening to switch. now the Iranians do.

We have to ensure that the oil producers in the Middle East remain loyal Murkan dollar economic neocolonies. Otherwise, the oligarchy loses money and an oligarch losing money is intolerable. As many low- and middle-income aMurkans as necessary must die to prevent that.

17. I think Saddam did go to the Euro. He made a lot of money if
I recall right. The money people will stop the war if they lose money for sure. Even the arms makers have to do what the money people say. Bush will do what the money people want I think. He comes from all that stuff but I must say he is over the top on this business of he is right about every thing so he just may even stay his game over the money people. Look back in history and see how many of these powerful rulers kept to their game even as they fell off the cliff, as they were so sure they were right.
