Iran today has threatened to cut oil exports.
If they do, that will guarantee higher gasoline prices, higher than now.
We on the other hand -- or should I say president Bush, Washington and the federal government -- have been threatening Iran with nuclear devastation, invasion and occupation of their country.
We threaten with our number one weapon... the atomic bomb.
Iran threatens back with their number one weapon... oil.
And who suffers during all this posturing and threatening between two nations and their loud-mouthed, chest-beating saber-rattling presidents??
WE do... at the pump.
Last time we had an oil embargo, our "ally" Israel was invading and occupying lots of Arab territory -- with our blessing-- Dumb.
This time we are invading and occupying lots of Arab territory -- with Israel's blessing -- Dumber.
No matter how hard we try to avoid the thought, it always seems to come back to Israel, because -- if you recall -- Israel has been threatening to attack Iran if the United States doesn't.
Now that's a real ally for you, threatening to attack one of our major oil suppliers... if we don't.
