Rick Santorum: Obama helping Iran obtain nuclear weapons

Santorum drew connections between the administration's opposition to the Keystone pipeline project, which would bring oil from Canada to U.S. refineries, and American dependency on foreign oil and U.S.-Israel relations.

"We're throwing Israel under the bus because we know we're going to be dependent upon OPEC," Santorum said during a speech in Oklahoma City. "We're going to say, 'Oh, Iran, we don't want you to get a nuclear weapon — wink, wink, nod, nod — go ahead, just give us your oil.' Folks, the president of the United States is selling the economic security of the United States down the river right now."

Webmaster's Commentary: 

It appears that Rick Santorum wants to attempt to move the administration in a director of a total oil embargo against Iran, which will only be a prelude to war. Other countries, notably India and China, are not cooperating at all, because their economies would suffer.

It appears that, like Israel, Santorum is attempting to push the Obama administration into some kind of pre-emptive war before the election. What Santorum, and others of his ilk, fail to grasp is the very real possibility that such a war may well go very badly for both the US and Israel.

At this point, the US doesn't have the military personnel, money, or manufacturing to enable it to pull off any kind of an easy "victory". What such an attack may well do is bring Russia and China into the conflict on the side of Iran, as leadership members of both countries have said they will do.

It is because of those reasons that I would strongly caution Santorum, and those in the bowels of power in DC and Tel Aviv to be very careful what they wish for.

It's not just Ricky that's pushing for war with Iran.

justice

The Wahabi/Takfiri al-Sauds,in Riyadh etc,are scared shitless,that US/EU oil corporations will SOON switch trading partners from extremist-Wahabi-Sunni,Zio-friendly,Riyadh(especially with them being past-peak oil/gas)TO RESOURCE-RICH,'access to the West'Asia!Including SHIITE Iran!
The Saudi/Gulf oil-royals know that the USG goes where the RESOURCES are,whether that be SHIA Iran or the old Soviet caucuses.
Where does that then leave Saudi Sunni Wahabism?

So,attack Iran?Secure a Saudi-friendly regime change(another Shah/King)? And allow Riyadh puppet-control of Damascus too?

I'm sick of all these Wahabi/Takfiri extremists being our so-called "allies" as much as I'm sick of Judeo-Christian zealot-Zionist-extremists running OUR pluralistic America,and destroying our democracy!
Ricky's just a frustrated,Old Testament Prophet-wannabe!
The American people are being led like a lamb to the slaughter by their OWN politicians.
It's mindblowing!
