Note: WASHINGTON, Jul 30 (IPS) - Amid rising speculation about the possibility of an Israeli or U.S. bombing attack on Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this month, a major study produced for the U.S. Air Force by a top defence think tank concluded that U.S. military action against Iran was "likely to have negative effects for the United States".The study, by the RAND Project AIR FORCE, a division of the California-based RAND Corporation, was released Jul. 9, the same day that Tehran test-fired medium- and long-range missiles in an apparent response to reports the previous week that Israel had carried out secret exercises designed to simulate a raid on Iran's nuclear facilities the previous month. Amid all the fireworks, however, the report, which also called for a multi-faceted strategy designed to encourage democratic development in Iran, was ignored by the mainstream media. tags: iran

Posted by danglingwrangler, at 06:40PM 07/30/08 : John McCain Linked To Oil Speculation Enron Loophole
Note: No doubt John McCain does NOT want Americans to know the details behind the spiraling higher costs of oil and then refined gasoline due to oil speculation.
John McCain has direct ties to the creation of the oil speculation loop hole and has strategically placed his Senate votes to mask his oil speculation ties and mislead the American public on it's history and his knowledge about it.
