Subject: RE: BS: Iran threatens to cut hands off attackers
First of all we have Bee-dubya-ell, raising non-existant oil magnates who somehow "control" Iranian oil - Hint Bee-dubya-ell, it is all owned nationally.
Then we have this ridiculous and illogical piece of nonsense:
"Think of Cheney and Ahmadinejad as opposing pro wrestlers talking trash to inflate the price of oil." - Guest Jack the Sailor.
Said before but just to let it sink in:
The amount of oil and gas owned/controlled by oil magnates/companies amounts to about 7% of the worlds supply, leaving 93% controlled by National Oil Companies. Cheney owns and controls none of it, so maybe JtS can explain how ratcheting the price up to over $140 per barrel is in Cheney's interest, I can see perfectly well how Iran, Russia, Venezuela, in fact all the big oil exporting nations benefit from that.
