poor poor kerry, hillarious the xenophobic princess is going to stomp all over the fantasy war hero in the 2008 dem primaries. LOL.... I love Rush to the ridicule.... RUSH: We had Hillary Clinton yesterday interviewed by an unidentified male reporter after the Armed Services Committee hearing and the port deal -- and I began to notice some hedging from Mrs. Clinton's original xenophobic position on this, her panic position of immediate legislation on Monday, immediate legislation to block the "sale" of any of our ports and any of our terminals to foreign interests at all. (Laughing.) And then yesterday said (paraphrasing), "Weeeeell, we're going to look at this now. We're going to delay here 45 days. I think we can work out a deal." So she's clearly allowing for the possibility the deal can go through. This afternoon, just dangerously close to us here. She's down in Miami, and she made a speech. The audio here has a little bit of a buzz in it, but this is what she had to say, and I'm playing this for you for a specific reason. HILLARY: I had a continuing disagreement with the administration...about what it will take to protect our ports, to protect cargo in our airplanes, to protect our infrastructure, our mass transit, our bridges, our tunnels, to prepare Americans in the event of a chemical, biological or radiological attack on our shores -- RUSH: Come on...

So why did Bush-Cheney invade? They still haven't told us the truth about that. Two reasons: OIL and overturning Saddam's selling oil for Euros, not US dollars. Had Saddam continued to sell oil sales for Euros, the US dollar would eventually lose its reserve currency status and, with that, loss of US hegemony worldwide. Recall that as soon as Saddam was toppled, Bush got Iraqi oil sales to be re-denominated in dollars, not Euros! And thus the fall of the dollar was halted and even recovered slightly against the Euro. Iran has threatened to start, in March, an oil bourse that will trade oil for Euros only. As this is a threat to the US dollar, what happened to Iraq will likely be repeated oin Iran. Not? Bottom line for attack: for the oil and preserving the world reserve currency status of the greenback! .
