If we go to war with Iran, we will win. And when we win, the end result had better be American occupation of Iranian oil fields for a long, long time. Put up a big fence and kill anyone who comes close to it.

Yes, war is coming. Whatever you can do to be prepared, you should do. This is with or without O in the White House, though I think they should know their chances are better now than later.

As for “closing Hormuz”, thats suicide for Iran, and thats a good thing for us. Thats exactly what we will do on day one, is close the straits to Iranian traffic. They are completely dependent on shipping oil to survive, and completely dependent on importing gasoline. With the straits closed, they won’t last a month.

Anyone who does not allow drilling for oil at home with the intent to develop a domestic oil industry and energy independence commits treason against our national interest.

Just read on Breitbart that oil dropped to under $100 a barrel due to supplies growing unexpectedly. Fears of a war?

Strange. Price for gas jumped 15 cents in one day at my favorite fillup in Newport News, VA, Raceway, from $3.01.9 to $3.16.9.It never drops that fast.

Absolutely nothing will prompt the Libtards to pursue US energy self-sufficiency.

Bwaaaaahaha, ROTFLOL.

We (you and I) will pay the entire bill, we shall rebuild the country and its oil fields in total and we shall allow the immigration of tens of thousands of “displaced and persecuted” mooselims.

You owe me a precious snifter of Hennessy that is now soaking my keyboard. Bwaaaahahaha.

There’s a lead-lag in pump prices. It’s called catch-up. Don’t forget that gas is a commodity just like groceries. Those prices go up and down also.

If George W Bush and a Republican Congress could not win in Iraq or Afghanistan, why on EARTH do you believe we could beat Iran under present circumstances?
