ATB quotes Spangler, who posits that it's all about the oil.
Chilling in a vague 'that will be next year's problem' way. It is not that I care that Iran has territorial ambition - like a dog eating it's own feces that is what some states simply do - but the ways and means they'll use to accomplish their desired end.
Thanks to Frank for pointing ATB out. I'm sure it was he - or a link from a poster on his site. He gets the blame at any rate. Those graphics alone are worth it.
Why did French President Jacques Chirac last week threaten to use non-conventional - that is, nuclear - weapons against terrorist states? And why did Iran announce that it would shift foreign-exchange reserves out of European banks (although it has since retracted this warning)? The answer lies in the nature of Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Iran needs nuclear weapons, I believe, not to attack Israel, but to support imperial expansion by conventional military means.There is more at the link. Certainly a more rational use than attempting to exterminate heavily armed Israelis. Israel would bite back. What will Azerbaijan do?
