<p>No, this is not an e-mail scam. Join Republican millionaires and make your own million in the stock market.</p>
<p>Israel rattles the sword at Iran. Fine. Iran won’t retaliate against Israel; they don’t need to, not with 150,000 U.S. troops without significant protection right next door. Since the U.S. supplies Israel with missiles, if Israel attacks, they attack the supplier. Iraq’s Shiites will back them - they remember that Iran hasn’t attacked anybody in 27 years. A couple left-over missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, since the U.S. is ensconced there as well. Iran loses? There goes 20% of the world oil and gas supply. Iran wins? There goes 40% of the world oil and gas supply. And if nothing happens? You still net a nice big fat short-term gain! It is a win-win situation for investors.</p>
<p>Get in while you can! Why lobby Congress when in just a couple of weeks you can book your retirement! Don’t let this opportunity pass you buy!</p>
<p>(I know: you think I’m just being cynical; I think I’m just being Republican…watch the market on Monday!)</p>
<p>Mini: Does your hatred for Israel and the US never end. Have you been writing Harry Belafonte’s speeches? You must have been happy to hear Bin Laden mention “The Rogue State” - I assume you’ve already read it. And as for Iran not attacking anyone in 27 years - hmmm, I guess supportintg Hezbollah and killing children in schoolbuses doesn’t count as attacking anyone. And the Mullah’s oppressing their own people doesn’t weigh much on you. Why don’t you take a trip to Tehran - take a look around.</p>
<p>Who’s hating anyone? This isn’t about Israel or Iran or Iraq or the U.S. or any other country. This is about money to be made! And if you go to the oil trading pits on Monday, you’ll see Israelis and Iranians and Americans and Saudis and Frenchmen and Germans all working harmoniously together, in a glorious feast of universal brotherhood, all making gobs of money. So this is an invitation to join them.</p>
<p>But that’s the beauty of the thing. Iran isn’t going to launch anything at American troops unless the Israelis launch something at them. And the Americans don’t want to lose 20% of the world’s oil supply by defeating the Iranians. That’s why the whole thing is a win-win!</p>
<p>Oil and Gas futures will be going up anyway in the long term even if nothing happens with Iran except any embargo or attack on Iran would definately speed it up.</p>
<p>oil futures have been way up for months…$80/bbl made it happen. Not sure if it’s a great buying opportunity right now. But, anyway, I caution anyone about ‘futures’…look to options instead, bcos if your wrong, they won’t cost you your house.</p>
<p>I am very very troubled to see discussions in both of my daily newspapers about how a military response to Iran is an option… ok, not a good option, not a prefered option, but to say it is “not an option” is not true. This line of discussion bothers me. Sounds like the first round of administration propoganda to me that could eventually lead to military action against Iran.</p>
<p>“It’s also not clear the United States could win a referral on sanctions at the Security Council, where members Russia and China are Iran’s main allies. Both have strong economic and strategic ties to Iran, with China a large oil consumer and drilling partner and Russia a key supplier of arms and nuclear technology and services for what Tehran says is a peaceful program. Additionally, oil-rich Russia would benefit from higher prices and increased demand for its crude if Iran’s oil were off the market.”</p>
<p>There is no crisis if Russia doesn’t help Iran.</p>
<p>France is getting a free pass for threatening a nuclear response to terrorism. Remember all the crap thrown at Bush whenever “tactical” nuclear weapons were brought up?</p>

<p>I thought Iraq was Vietnam 2 o_O</p>
<p>NJers,</p>
<p>Maybe Israel will take care of it for us. Egypt has said they will not accept Iran as a nuclear power either. None the less though, military action is an option. It’s almost always an option, and it’s almost always the LAST option, but still an option.</p>
