Do you think the US and Israel might be threatening attacks on Iran to drive up oil prices?

It is obvious.





What baffles me is how little so many have learned from the last propaganda campaign.Do you think the US and Israel might be threatening attacks on Iran to drive up oil prices?
No, oil and gasoline prices have spiked since last Fall because Bernanke has cut the Federal Funds Rate.





Too much credit fuels bubbles in credit-driven markets. We've seen this with natural gas, housing, metals, and oil, just in the last five or six years.





The Fed doesn't view asset inflation as inflation - it views CPI as inflation. Thus as long as CPI was under 3%, it didn't think there was a problem.





You could argue that Bush and Congress forced the Fed's hand by spending too much, since the Fed is really giving them cover with its low rates - but it's not the Fed's job to enable the President and Congress to spend like drunken sailors.Do you think the US and Israel might be threatening attacks on Iran to drive up oil prices?
It does our nations or the world any good to drive up oil Prices. Only certain Nations, environmentalist and other special interest benefit from this. North Korea already has nuclear capabilities and Iran is working towards them. They both are a greater threat than any of the super powers ever where on unleashing nuclear war upon the earth recklessly.
Well from the answers in my last question yes it is probably part of the plan and I believe there is some kind of a sick GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY between Israel%26amp;America%26lt;politicians%26gt; f.p
no...I know that some people hate our president and think some pretty bad things about him but what since would it make for him to cripple and destroy or economy...if he did that all the money some people keep saying he is making off


this war would be worthless...the American dollar is not worth much these days and president Bush has a lot of dollars...don't you think he would be trying to fix our economy to raise the value of the dollar if he were as greedy as people say...

No. Israel certainly would not need our help to invade Iran, they have enough nuclear power to wipe out all of the middle east.
The sabre rattling concerning Iran has been going on for awhile now - way before gas prices started to go up.
I think it's tough talk because they know our Military is severely over-extended. Whistling in the dark.
That makes as much sense as your avatar.


None at all.
Why would the US ruin it's own economy?...
not.....iran is asking for it kid..
