Q A lot of our allies in Europe do a lot of business with Iran, so I wonder what your thoughts are about how you further tighten the financial pressure on Iran, in particular, if it also means economic pain for a lot of our allies?

THE PRESIDENT: It's an interesting question. One of the problems -- not specifically on this issue, just in general -- let's put it this way, money trumps peace, sometimes. In other words, commercial interests are very powerful interests throughout the world. And part of the issue in convincing people to put sanctions on a specific country is to convince them that it's in the world's interest that they forgo their own financial interest


That was from Today's Press meeting.

This would explain why our young men are dying for Oil. "Money Trumps Peace" . Bu$h has so many ties in oil, he won't leave Iraq and and starting to look like Iran is next!!

    i guess that explains why cheney used to lobby for sanctions to be lifted agaisnt iran and other countries so halliburton could legally do business there?
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    How cute. The "s" was replaced by a dollar sign. That's so clever.

    its not the only reason. but it certainly plays a factor as it should. to say that oil is not a vital commodity would be denial

    "as it should"....and you know...speaking of Iraq and IRan...if our pres would have said...hey listen we're going into Iraq to protect those precious resources (which he did in his last state of the union address) and the American people supported that...I would have had much more respect for them...but they didn't. I want to believe like you that there was another reason but I just don't have any evidence thats the case.

    yea it sucks. the initial reasons for going (WMD + el queda link) turned out to be complete bullshit. the reasons for staying turned out to be more valid (el queda presence, bring democracy to Iraq). regardless, we shouldnt be there in the first place. but since we are, we need to fight the bad guys and finish what we started. hopefully the end is near.

    He is a very dangerous man. He needs to stop trying to play the role of GOD. Other countrys dont like us and I can understand why. GB is a threat to everybody and he will pick on the wrong country and they will fuck us up.
    I'll be back

    Really? Which country is he going to pick the fight with? The only major threat would be China, and we aren't going to war with them anytime soon, and even if we did there's no way they would, "fuck us up".

    haha I dont love Bush. I think he had good intentions to protect us after 9/11 (at that time he had a 85% approval rating so I wasnt the only one). but the whole Iraq mess (lies about WMD) he lost my respect.

    no country can fuck us up. 1 country? 1 missile? so Iran will shoot a missle at us? is that it. we have a missile defense system. no army will ever reach our shores.

    sorry for calling you out on your bullshit comment.

    Yea, I think it's important to remember that many of the allies, are only allies by their own interest. Question is, if Bush ran into Russia in Iraq, would he press the button and start the nuclear end?

    Canada!

    I bet you one dude from Canada could take out major faciliities of the U.S. infrustructure. But first he/she would need a reason and the determination to actually do it. Which isn't likely to happen. Like, plant a bomb at one of your chemical research facilities there and let the anthrax fly.

    russia? the fastest declining nation on the planet?


    you people have no idea. no nation is a direct threat to the US. its a nation who harbors and trains terrorist to fly planes into buildings or dirty bombs in breifcases who can be a threat. but a nation? an army? no fucking chance ever
