CFR President: $200 Oil If War With Iran

Published on Sunday, October 28, 2007.

Richard Haass the President of the Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg luminary was recently interviewed by Katie Couric on the situation with Iran. During the interview, Haass predicted that the crisis over Iran’s nuclear program could come to a head within the next few months and that war with Iran would result in oil prices rising to $200 a barrel. Haass also made it clear that sanctions would not be effective in changing Iran’s stance on their nuclear program and that there was a real possibility of a U.S. military strike on Iran using aircraft and cruise missiles.
When Couric specifically asked Haass if he thought we would see a war with Iran, he responded.

“I don’t think we are talking about invasion, the U.S. doesn’t have ground troops. There could be a military strike using aircraft and cruise missiles, but if you ask me over the next year or two years can I imagine the U.S. and Iran moving to conflict? The short answer is yes. Is it definite? Obviously not, but is it a real possibility; for sure.”

Haass also mentioned in the interview that war with Iran would result in the oil price reaching $200 a barrel. This specific prediction from Haass is interesting considering reports from previous Bilderberg meetings that the global elite have been seeking an increase in oil prices as part of an effort to further squeeze the U.S. middle class.

A $200 oil price is certainly not out of the realm of possibility considering oil recently eclipsed the $90 a barrel mark. The rising oil price has thus far been primarily due to a combination of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East along with the falling value of the U.S. Dollar. In addition, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates again which would send the price of oil even higher and the value of the U.S. Dollar even lower. Any military attack on Iran would certainly send oil prices much higher with the possibility of other countries with close ties to Iran like Venezuela cutting off oil sales in retaliation.

It is clear that the global elite are seriously considering military action against Iran as part of their goal to further their agenda for one world government. The major media networks have been out in full force spreading all sorts of propaganda in an effort to convince the masses that we need an invasion of Iran. The propaganda fails to mention that any invasion of Iran could have a devastating effect on the U.S. economy with the potential of skyrocketing gasoline prices. Hopefully, they’ll come to their senses and put a halt to any plans for a military strike against Iran. With countries like Pakistan and North Korea holding a nuclear arsenal, it doesn’t make any logical sense to go after a country like Iran that doesn’t even have a nuclear weapon. The only rationale for an invasion of Iran is raw imperialism, and unfortunately that’s what we are seeing unfold.

Just came back from fillin' up...($2.79), and heard that prices may jump as much as 15¢ a gallon.

Gas prices have jumped today! This morning it was $2.659 at the end of Mulkey Gap, tonight it is $2.849! In town it is $2.899. Glad I filled up yesterday at the lower price!

[shortcircuit]

Wow, I filled up just in time. It looks like they are gonna try to squeeze us a little more.

[coosa]

Yes, all the prices have gone up. I wish we didn't have to use premium.

[shortcircuit]

Coosa you should look into having a computer chip made for your vehicle. A chip can change the engine timing and other things and it will allow you to use regular in a car that is supposed to only use premium. I'm not really sure where you can get them, you might check with rose auto accessories.

[Justin Melick]

It's still going up. Where's the oil we "stole" from Iraq? I think it's time to break it out. We're going to have to start running our cars on moonshine.

[bb]

LOL... the revenuers would still get us! Not paying the high taxes we pay for gas!

[shortcircuit]

$2.97 for regular at the station across from KFC.

[bb]

Wow... it's really jumping!

[tessa]

$2.89 at Poteete's today. This stinks!

[bb]

It sure does! When you have to drive so far for so much, you are really stuck between a rock and a hard place!

I'm a little south of ya'll but gas went up overnight from $2.99 to $3.16 in some places. Talk is that it will hit $4 once the holiday season picks up in a few weeks. Lord only knows what that would add to the price of food as processing, packaging and transportation costs increase... not to mention heating costs.
