3:12 pm
the mid ninety's has indicated rather as a possible target that the war plans which have been ongoing since two thousand and four have been a joint program of the u.s. they throw in israel so that in fact these war plans are already ongoing it may be convenient for washington to let israel unleash the attack and in fact dick cheney back in back in two thousand and four intimated that israel might do the work for us though to speak iran has ten percent of the global oil and gas was five times those of the united states that it has tremendous wealth and ultimately war in that region is the battle for oil and natural gas the threat of that war is real the implications are far reaching if that war were launched. within the next few months the whole region with from the eastern mediterranean right through
