Iran tested advanced nuclear warhead: report

[onemintomidnight]

Initial stages of building the case for invasion.  Can't nail 'em with actual U or Plu, so let's say they might have been playing around with a warhead design.

Oil grab stage three - coming soon!

Nope, attack only - maybe. Neither the U.S. or Israel, even combined, have the resources necessary for an invasion of Iran.

no but we have plenty of already constructed nuclear materials and resources to help them on their way...

i see a glass parking lot in the future in the middle east. the only question is where they are to be placed.

Bombing from the air alone does not get you the black gold.

Indeed. And the oil in Iraq is largely in one region at the head of the Gulf, next to southern Iraq.

And Saudi Arabia's oil fields are in the Eastern part of their country, reasonably close to Iraq and Kuwait - hell, why not just grab it all.

Saudi fields got grabbed a LONG time ago.

And here I thought Saudi Aramco took care of that little problem. Seems way back when the Saudis finally got tired of being paid 12 cents for every barrel pumped out of their ground they decided to do something about it. I think oil was at $1.82 /barrel...oh well, what goes around comes around.

The only thing that changed was that the Saudi royal family got a much bigger cut, still the same network delivering the oil, the US is still propping up the kingdom.
