They keep acting as if Iran is a huge problem. It is a small country in the middle east that even the middle east hates. Sound furmilure? Don't any of you remember the tiny country of Iraq? The UN and all its members screwed around and wasted time with inspectors for years. Iran is pulling the same crap that Sodom Husane did. They love keeping the world on edge. It is a game to them. And what does the USA do.....They fall for the same thing every time. Whether it be WMD's or Nuclear bombs. We Don't verify, we just use crap intel and informants that in the end makes us look like clowns. Stop reacting to the rumors and verify. If you can't verify Then pick a target and strike. If you don't want to strike turn around and come home. If you never pay any attention to that country and its blow hard president. The game comes to a screeching halt.

judgemobile Champion Author Ohio Posts:5,762 Points:2,085,330 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: Feb 2, 2012 9:16:42 PM Ignore judgemobile Report Abuse pump prices here in NW Ohio jumped about 30 or more cents OVERNIGHT. ALL stations usually do this on Thursday for the weekend pick up in volume. I try to but WEDNESDAY and beaat them at their own game. My fave station is now at 3.65 today; a few days ago I paid 3.08 THREE point ZERO EIGHT. Greed is alive even during the current recession/depression. Tomorrow at 8:30 AM, we get the new NATIONAL unemployment rate for January, 2012--whatever number they announce, DOUBLE it and you will be close to REAL RATE.
