      China Signs $2Bn Iran Oil Deal

      Posted by Shemuses from Al Jazeera

      One of China's biggest energy companies has signed a $2bn deal to develop a huge oil field in Iran, defying US calls for a trade boycott with Tehran. Under the deal, China's biggest refiner, Sinopec, will eventually help pump out 185,000 barrels of oil a day from the Yadavar field in southwest Iran.

    • Bush May Still Bomb Iran, Despite NIE | The Progressive

      Posted by Damianmann from Progressive

      Hold on a second here. The risk of Bush attacking Iran is not yet over. When the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran came out earlier this week, a lot of people jumped to the conclusion that Cheney and the hardliners have lost, and so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Well, I’m not exhaling at the moment. Because I still believe Bush and Cheney are going to do the deed.

      It Turns Out Ahmadinejad Was the Truthful One

      Posted by Shemuses from Alternet

      Bush is such a liar. Or is he just out to lunch on the most important issue that he faces? In October, he charged that Iran's nuclear weapons program was bringing the world to the precipice of World War III, even though the White House had been informed at least a month earlier that Iran had no such program and had stopped efforts to develop one back in 2003.

      Nuclear Fallout

      Posted by Shemuses from Al Jazeera

      "Dishonest", "misleading", "lying" and "spinning" are just some of the measured adjectives used in the mainstream US media to characterise George Bush, the president, and Stephen Hadley, his national security adviser, after they embraced the damning National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) summary report on Iran as proof of the effectiveness and success of the administration's Tehran policy.

      Iran: Us Nuclear Report A 'Victory'

      Posted by Shemuses from Al Jazeera

      Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has said the report by US intelligence on Tehran's nuclear programme was a "great victory" for Iran against world powers. "You saw the report of the US intelligence. They said clearly that the Iranian people were on the just path," Ahmadinejad said in a televised address on Wednesday.

    • Bill Richardson makes it short, sweet and brutal

      Posted by VincebusEruptum from Jazz-from-hell.blogspot

      Gov. Richardson released a statement re: the recent intel estimate that says Iran shelved their nuclear weapons program years ago, an assessment which differs greatly from what Bush, Cheney, and various neocons chihuahuas have yapped of late and insist on even now. The key bit of Richardson's very brief statement...

    Note: no additional villagers have been photoshopped into this picture.

    Rick’s also done amazing work to recommend common sense drug policy in the U.S.

    US-Iran Relations: The Fourth Option

    The Iranian people widely support their nuclear program which started long ago at the behest of the US. The media are presenting this as a FALSE DILEMMA, according to which we must either sanction/bomb Iran, or else Iran will get a nuclear weapon. This is false – there is a perfectly reasonable peaceful solution widely endorsed by American and International experts: multinational enrichment on Iranian soil

    Iran Top Threat To Iraq, U.S. Says

    I can almost at this point garuantee that the sabre rattling will spill over into a declaration of war some time around Fall, at which point the administration will insist that the only group capable of dealing with the (manufactured) threat are, naturally, the GOP.

    Anyone not voting for McCain will be branded a terrorist sympathizer, and the U.S. will wind up with either McCain at the helm or a seriously handicapped democrat, because, face it, when the xenophobic part of the average North American’s conscience is stimulated, it tends to come out in full force and steamroll any chance of cooler heads (diplomacy) prevailing.

    I do hope I’m just being wildly cynical, though.
