Iran Accord Likely to Push Oil Prices Down [1 Million Barrels a Day Could Return to Global Markets]
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov 24 2013 | TATYANA SHUMSKY

Oil prices are likely to drop, analysts said, as the nuclear accord between Iran and six world powers potentially paves the way for more crude oil to reach the global market.

The fact is there is no will for peace with the Iranians mullah’s, there never was any intent for peace with the Iranian mullahs,

Sounds like me when I was criticizing Reagan for dealing with Gorbachev. I learned.

Also, when was the last time Iran - these folks who have no will for peace - actually invaded another country? As I recall, the only war they’ve been involved in, in modern age, is the Iran - Iraq war, and Saddam started that.

all that oil was already reaching the world markets.
this article is BS

nothing was stopping the Iran oil from export, indeed that was the most glaring weakness of the socalled sanctions

most of Iran’s oil is, or will be going to China ... increasingly so, and less to Europe as time goes by. But it all gets to the world market and it all gets purchased.

“I don’t see why we can’t strike a deal with Iran...”

Iran has repeated many, many times that it desires to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Those are threats a terrorist state makes. In the past the US had a policy not to negotiate with terrorist states. Obama now has changed this.

Now it appears the US will help fund Iran.

Making a statement that “a lot of conservatives today seem to hunger for war with Iran - and no other “solution” to the Iranian issue will satisfy them.” is a stale liberal talking point just like “part of the problem conservatives have with Obama is that he is black”.

I know a lot of conservatives and none of them “hunger for war with Iran”, or “have a problem with Obama is because he is black”.

The conservatives I know detest war, but know a terrorist state like Iran, sworn to destroy Israel, should be dealt like the terrorist state it is. Sanctions are the only thing that has shown Iran can be slowed down. They also have a problem with Obama’s policies that are destroying the country from within, not the fact that he is 1/2 white and 1/2 black.

Right, they said, “we will bury you.”

Oh, wait, that was the Soviets that said that, against us — look it up. They also financed a lot of terrorism, including the murder attempt against the Pope.

Reagan still negotiated with them

That would be the first positive thing Obama’s done for the economy.

The U.S. could have more than twice that amount of oil from Canada, just for the asking (and permitting the pipelines).

The big difference between Reagan and Bush (both Bushes, in fact) was that 1990 marked a major turning point in Republican foreign policy. From that point forward, the GOP probably put the Pentagon up for sale to foreign interests (mainly Saudi Arabia).

One little monkey wrench in that scenario is that there probably isn’t any political will in Israel to do what you’ve suggested they’ll do.

No Keystone pipeline, no ANWAR, thus promised Obama to Jarret Iran.

Israel is under the bus. So sad that we have abandoned them.

A million barrels is about 1/19th of the oil used in the U.S.A. in only one day. We, as a nation, use about a million barrels less per day than we did a few years ago, before we began our managed slide toward becoming a third world country.
