I will believe the Saudis don't see any upcoming problems with Ghawar when they cancel one of their projects due to low oil prices. If they continue to be full steam ahead with increasing their capacity then I think they are aware that Ghawar may not be as robust in 5 years time as they would like us to believe.

Just what we needed! Mad

He resigned just because he didnt agree with gong to war with Iran!

Are you kidding me!

I dont know how Petraeus feels about going to war with Iran, but I', sure he is sided with the white house! Mad

Petraeus would replace Navy Adm. William J. Fallon as chief of U.S. Central Command. Fallon resigned last month following news reports that he was at odds with the White House over Iran policy.

Sure looks like war on the horizon.

1. WASHINGTON (AP) - Condoleezza Rice flexed America's muscles in the Middle East Thursday, forcefully warning Iran the U.S. won't ignore threats and will take any action necessary to defend friends and interests in the Persian Gulf.

2. Israel Air Force (IAF) war planes are practicing in Iraqi airspace and land in US airbases on the country as preparation for a potential strike on Iran, sources in the Iraqi Defense Ministry told a local news network, Friday.

If the Israeli Lobby that currently governs America does make the mistake of pulling a Pearl Harbor attack on Iran.. hang on to your wallet Bubba. Look at what OPEC is promising...

VIENNA: The head of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries warned Thursday that oil prices would see an "unlimited" increase in the case of a military conflict involving Iran, because the group's members would be unable to make up the lost production... "The prices would go unlimited," Badri said during the interview, referring to the effect of a military conflict. "I can't give you a number."

"Perhaps OPEC wants to say to the Americans in particular that there would be an economic price to be paid for an attack on Iran," said Daniel Gros, director of the Center for European Policy Studies in Brussels. "Gulf leaders also know that if a war broke out, the situation of some Gulf states also would become more uncomfortable and could have political difficulties for them domestically," he said, noting that some have their own Shia minorities.

Fallon's resignation was really amazing.

You spend 30 years of your military career praying for a job like that. NO ONE resigns from that position.

More should have been made of that.

Unless it turns out you've spend 30 years imagining how great that job would be. And of course, reality blows out your massive expectations.

...and then all you want to do is fish for trout.
