IRAN’S PHOTOSHOPPERY GUARDS | Daily Telegraph Tim Blair Blog

My favoite post from Bionic which hits the nail squarely on the head:

"...It is all to do with what currency is used globally to purchase it. Euro’s or Dollars. Whoevers currency runs the oil market can honestly print money without the worry of hyperinflation. Countries currently need to hoard dollars to buy oil, there is no other way to get it. The dollars never make it back into the US economy. However (as Sadam found out) sell your oil in Euros and those dollars start to filter out of reserve banks and back to the states, devaluing the currency...its economic terrorism… and it started the war and that concludes today lesson!"


Here's a link directly to one of the pictures:

To assess Iran's air force capability, just remember that they are VERY interested in refitting their F-14As that the US sold them in the 1970s. The fact that they are actively trying to fix these antiques says a lot about their capabilities in projecting air power.

I'm particularly partial to the weak and doctored evidence that would have us believe that they are prepared to unleash destruction on Israel and the M.E.

Yet our fearless leader and the propaganda machine plow on with the rhetoric, as if we we're even financially equipped to occupy another country were we in grave danger.

We are only henchmen for the true rulers of the world. An agenda stretching through the ages is coming to fruition, fueled by the American war machine. Rome is reborn!
