Iran conducts all crude oil trade in euro and yen

TEHRAN, April 30 (Reuters) - Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, is conducting all its crude trading in euro and yen, instead of the U.S. dollar, an Iranian official was quoted as saying on Wednesday.

So, maybe a guy shooting his mouth off, or a mistake of some kind. But Google only has 11 articles grouped in this topic and if it's true, it would be an uncomfortably big story. Because unless I'm wrong, that's a war-starter move.

Thanks to

A war that would he Phyrric at best, and is practically unwinnable with the overextended military we have.

SOLUTION!

Offer prisoners all over the U.S., in lockdown, the opportunity for promised clemency if they serve their nation!

Send them on an assault against a country that will decimate them on unfamiliar terrain!

Congratulations, Comrade Stalin! You've just solved prison overpopulation AND achieved your military objective through sheer attrition!

BONUS: Renege on the promise to those who survive! Buffalo Soldier!

SOLVE THE MORTAGAGE CRISIS BY GIVING "STIMULUS PACKAGE LOANS" TO EACH MORTGAGEE BY THE HIPPEIS^H^H^H^H^H^H^H BANKS AND REQUIRING THAT EVERY INFANTRY SOLDIER PAY IT BACK! THIS PAYBACK INCOME COMES SOLELY FROM PLUNDER!

THEN MAINTAIN A LOYAL SALARIED "PRAETORIAN GUARD"^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H THEN HIRE BLACKWATER AND KBR TO PREVENT A "BONUS ARMY" FROM MARCHING ON THE GOVERNMENT WHENEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO PAY THESE LOANS BACK!

ANY BASEBALL PLAYERS CAUGHT USING STEROIDS WILL BE FORCIBLY DRAFTED ("HABEAS CORPUS" ONLY APPLIES WHEN THE "CORPUS" IS NOT "AUGMENTUS" BY "STEREOIDUM") AND SENT OVER!
