Comments emphasize hawkish position of world’s 4th largest oil exporter
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s president said on Friday the rise in oil price was “very good,” Iran’s Mehr News Agency reported, emphasizing the hawkish position of the world’s fourth largest oil exporter as crude prices have hit record levels.

“The increase of the oil price and growth of oil income is very good and we hope that the oil prices reach their real levels,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said as he toured an oil exhibition in Tehran, the agency reported.

The Nutt in IRAN knows that Americans are arrogant and will not allow themselves to admit that gas is to expensive for them to buy. So, until, when cut back our usage, by not, traveling as much via car and using more mass transit, nuts like the guy in IRAN will continue to raise oil prices. The Oil companies don't care because, they are making billions off of people with SUV's and other gas guzzlers.

Same old stuff from this Islamic nation's leader, anything bad happening to the "infidel" is always good in their eyes. There are alot of Iranians and other islamics that don't agree with this, in my opinion, "New Hitler"

Hopefully he will "get what he deserves"

President Ahmadinthehead is pushing his country relentlessly toward a war with us.

This is not just a case of some tinpot dictator ranting anti-U.S. rhetoric. This is the leader of a country that boasts it will soon have nuclear weapons, and the missiles to deliver them. They've already tested a 'MIRV' missile, so when they get the boom-booms, the can wipe out all the capitals of Europe with one missile.

When the crazy ayatollahs who made this monster decide that it's time for the Shiites to bring about Armageddon in order to resurrect their 'hidden imam', old nutso will call our president and say "Bunky - unless you withdraw all U.S. military from this hemisphere, we will destroy London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow. " Our fearless leader will then have two options - soil his pants, or call for an all out nuclear attack on Iran. I imagine he'll do both.

Mutually assured destruction only works if both sides are sane. This guy is not.

Many will call me naive, but I don't see Iran "raising" the price or setting it. Speculators and hedge funds unfortunately move the prices, and I don't quite buy the arguments they make the markets more efficient.

However...as for the oil companies making billions...the companies' owners are the people who own the stock. Sure Exxon's CEO got one helluva retirement package...negotiated in advance and tied to ExxonMobil's market value. It is too bad...because he had less to do with that market cap growth than simple supply and demand.

With that said...I'm glad that my parents, who have no company pension, have some of their money in mutual funds that invest in the oil sector. I'm glad that my insurance company invests in this sector, because it helps keep premiums lower than they otherwise would be. I'm glad when those few hundred dollars a month go into our investments that some of it is going to own tiny, miniscule, itsy bitsy pieces of these companies...and those tiny, itsy bitsy pieces are growing.

A greater proportion of the U.S. population owns stocks, directly or indirectly, than ever before. If we're talking about a public company, the owners are US, or could be if we had been willing to write a check instead of just complaining. Ownership, participation in the economy, these are some of the key elements which can lead to success in our culture and economy.

Putin's trying to bring communism back to Russia; let's not do the same in the United States.

Yeah, but even though he is pushing us into a war with him, just wait. #When it happens, the liberals will go crazy saying it was not necessary. #Thats what I love about Bush and that's what I hate about liberals. They must stay awake all night wringing their hands wondering if everyone in the world is getting a fair shake.

If we hadn't attacked Iraq we would have the forces needed to invade Iran. As I have stated here before, the biggest kid on the block wants to knock out Iran, are we surprised they want to arm themselves? They should let inspectors in, then we can say the inspections are not working and invade. Then Iran should roll over dead for The Good Guys (us). Oil will be cheap and the days will be full of blue skies.

Food for thought: If the US had not invaded Iraq perhaps Iran would not be so concerned about protecting itself from "the infidels" now on it's doorstep.

Oh, I have no doubt that the White House goofed. As my extremely Republican Iowa farmer father in law says:" Bush stepped in deep s$%t when he invaded Iraq".

It was all a spelling error! They meant Iran, not Iraq. Iran was the one with WMD. Iran was the one funding international terrorists like Hezbollah. The guys in the White House just couldn't read that intelligence right. Indeed, it was the Iranians, not Iraqis, who bought uranium from Nigeria. They should have been on our radio continuously since WWII when they were allies with Hitler. Their anti-semitism is nothing new - it was a cornerstone of their propaganda for decades.

No, actually Iran is surrounded by potential enemies. Afghanistan is not too happy with them, either, and the Arab countries fear them. I don't know if a Sunni Muslim would prefer to be with a Christian or a Shiite - Christians are supposed to be treated with respect, but Shiites are blasphemers. Iran certainly makes Pakistan nervous, too. I guess if somebody is going to nuke Iran, I'd prefer it be another Muslim country.

No one wants a war except the people who stand to profit from oil. And those people don't really want war, they just want you to THINK that war is a possibility.

Scare the investors so we can drive up the price of oil to help out our buddies in Saudi Arabia and our pals in the oil companies. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

It's all smoke and mirrors to help certain people involved in the energy industry to line their pockets.

I hope they beat the Shiite out of Iran.

Question: What do you call an Iranian on a roof?

Answer: Shiite on a shingle.

well maybe now there will be a big effort by the world leaders (and what I mean by effort is action, not political bs speeches) to stop being dependant on oil and go for better, environmentally friendly fuels.

once that happens there will be very little demand for oil then Tehran will not be saying "thats good"

if industrilised countries used less oil (ie not driving a tank to go to the supermarket), prices may be a little less.

[B]In reference to the subject matter....."Ya Think?"

[kc7jty]

We deserve $5/gal gasoline, for we are stupid sucks that think the world owes us everything on a silver platter. We also can't see past the tips of our noses which causes many problems.

C'mon W...it's time for you to say something stupid followed by your silly eah, eah, eah, so the American people can once again feel good about themselves.

You will cry in a year that you set the price at only $5.00 and not at least $7.00 or more.

Question. Why is Iran interested in Nuclear Energy? Afraid of running out of gas?

Maybe we can sell them some of our coal. Or do we already?

Question: Why is more and more of the world so GD pissed off at us and tired of being screwed over by us and our little pet Israel?
If you don't make a stand you'll never be taken seriously. Some feel its better to go down for something than to get molded into what they don't want by someone they despise.

Viva Iran....and anyone else who takes a stand against us and our arrogant, we deserve all, attitude.

And for you BOOBS who always ask "what freedoms have we lost". The insurance companies are starting to base your insurance rates on your credit score. If that don't SUCK nothing does. Kiss the feet of god (the credit scores) you fools. And tell me everything in America is just fine.
