With all the sword rattling coming from the craziest man on the planet next to Bush, Ahmadinejad just pissed off the wrong country. Saudi Arabia has finally grown a pair of balls and and were awaken to the fact that Iran is out of control. With civil war breaking out in Iraq between the Sunnis and Shias the Saudis have seen the meddling of Iran as hurting their Sunnis bothers and are sending Iran a strong message to stand down or else!
Iran has an Achilles heel and the Saudis are using that pressure point to bring Iran back to reality or to its knees. Iran is the second largest importer of gasoline, yes that's correct, the second largest importer just behind the United States. While they have one of the largest oil supplies in the world, they can't refine it due to their lack of refineries. Have you noticed the price of oil per barrel has dropped in the last two months. When was the last time the price of oil has dropped in the winter time. Now you may say that it is because most of the country has had a mild winter. That would be the wrong logic. Oil companies have their winter supplies already in stock. The price is going down because every time the price of oil drops a dollar per barrel it cost countries like Iran 2-4 billion dollars. Iran has asked OPEC to increase the price for a barrel of oil and were rejected by Saudi Arabia. Iran then asked that the supplies be reduced. They were told by the Saudis that the supplies were fine.
I hate trying to spell his name so from now on I will just call him Yabba Dabba Jad is way out of his league. Yabba Dabba is getting a lesson in foreign affairs from the royal family that sends a clear message that most people are missing. Yabba Dabba will have to decide if he wants to take on the Saudis which would be a the dumbest thing that lunatic could ever do. Saudi Arabia realizes that if Iran continues down the road of a confrontation with the Unites States the entire Middle East will explode. The last thing the house of Faud needs is a major conflict in its own backyard. I am not a fan of Saudi Arabia but you must admit they are in a real bind. They want to sell oil, nothing else. When was last time you seen the Saudis rattle their swords. By lowering the cost of oil they will accomplish what the Bush Administration could never dream of accomplishing.
If Yabba Dabba is crazier than we think he is, then the Iranian people are in for a miserable future. To escalate tensions with the United States while Bush is still in office will result in an ass kicking destruction of Iran's military and infrastructure.
The United States has sent another carrier group to the Persian Gulf, sending the message to the Iranians that the drums of war are beating. It would do the Iranian people well to begin protesting Yabba Dabba and call for his resignation, because if he continues to step up to the worlds only superpower in Iraq, Iran won't be as lucky as Iraq. In Iraq too much attention was given to avoid collateral damage. Iran will not get that same courtesy. The attack would be the real shock and awe. With Iran touting the fact they have nuclear capabilities they will receive massive wave after wave of bombings. The United States would have to hit Iran hard, which means Tehran would be reduced to rubble in the first day. A long protracted war with Iran will never happen. We will never send troops in on the ground. Iran would be left to repair their country from the ruins equal to those of Hiroshima.
Until then, the beat goes on!
