Is it WWIII once Iran is in????? your thoughts

I think nukes would be absolute las resort......or I sure the hell hope so. That is what the MOAB has been created for. The deadliest non-nuke bomb around unless the FOAB is in the hands of Russia.

No body is going to win if indeed this war happens. I won't be shocked if gas went over $10 gallon in this war. that is just to insane to think of. I guess I will need a mopar. Would be a hard hall from the grow shop though.

we're going into these countries expecting to receive cheaper oil due to our meddling...

The Associated Press: Giant Saudi field is key to boosting oil output

Giant Saudi field is key to boosting oil output

By SEBASTIAN ABBOT – Jun 29, 2008
KHURAIS OIL FIELD, Saudi Arabia (AP) — This massive oil field surrounded by the desolate sands of Saudi Arabia's vast eastern desert feels like the middle of nowhere.

But what happens over the next year at Khurais, one of Saudi Arabia's last undeveloped giant oil fields, could hold the key to what drivers will pay at the pump for years to come.

Under way at Khurais and two other smaller fields nearby is what Saudi Arabia calls the single largest expansion of oil production capacity in history.

With consumers howling over record fuel prices and the United States pushing Saudi Arabia to produce more oil, this patch of sand 100 miles west of the Saudi capital of Riyadh has become one of the most important places in the world economy.

so when are we going into saudi arabia to take their oil?

haha bb... here to stir up some trouble I see

Last I heard, the U.S. and the Saudi's are allies and are currently on very good terms. Iraq and Iran, are not our allies (well Iraq wasn't, now its up in the air) and are not on very good terms, see the difference?

I think as long as the oil keeps coming out of the Saudi nation they should not appear on the axis of evil empires (at least in the Bush eyes). They just agreed to pump out more oil at the request of Bush recently I think.

This is always a possible situation but I would think that the Saudi nation would have to really, really piss off Halliburton (I mean the U.S.) Who would Bush have over to the ranch for a good old rail session if they attack the Saudi's?

Which government finds more use out of photoshop?

Iraq
Iran
U.S.

you didnt read the article....

i shall post more of it...

Consuming nations have pushed Saudi Arabia to boost production capacity even further and also want the world's top oil exporter to begin pumping more crude immediately to bring down record oil prices hovering near $140 a barrel. They say oil production has not kept up with increased demand, especially from China, India and the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia plans to produce 9.7 million barrels of oil per day, or 11 percent of the world's total, in July. It is the only nation with significant excess capacity that it could put on the market quickly.
But the kingdom has resisted calls to increase production further, saying financial speculators and the falling dollar are to blame for high oil prices, not a shortage of supply.

These disagreements came to a head June 22 at a rare meeting of oil producing and consuming nations hosted by Saudi Arabia. In the end, Saudi Arabia said it could increase oil production capacity to 15 million barrels per day if needed in future years. But it gave no indication that step, or an immediate increase in output, was necessary or planned.

I have a feeling its less about getting more oil for the US...

and more about keeping it from the Chinamen.

So what will come from this news of the U.S. sending a team into Iran for talks on the shutdown of the nuclear reactors? Will the line still be the same........shut those nuclear reactors down or we come and shut them down.

It seems the Pres and Tola have some serious different views in Iran right now. This is always a good thing to seperate those two loony characters views of the outside world. Cause division between them and then maybe the situation can be resolved. Either way I think we will be looking at the same situation after this series of talks.

Read the article, nowhere does it say anything about increasing tensions between US and Saudi Arabia, and especially nowhere near any problems becoming great enough to start any kind of conflict between the two (military or any other kind). And definitely nothing in the 2 excerpts you posted, maybe you should post the part that says anything about a rising conflict. It would never happen, too much at stake. Do you need to re-read it?


edit: it is a very complex business relationship. and since you did this to me before... dictionary time
