Could you look at it this way? I don't like the shots Ahjahamedeen got in at the press conference, but this is a good development. Hopefully oil will go down.

So you didn't care how it all turned out as long as oil goes down?

I sure as hell don't. Me like the gas price going down, if it happens.

No, far from it..................


It was an incredibly reckless thing for Iran to do, but we are not innocent in this either GB. I want us out of Iraq, and I do think W has one more Ace to play. He could widen this into Iran. If they were in Iranian waters did Tehran have the right to hold them? I don't know how you could argue against it.............. but the right's reasonings for things have baffled me before.

The conservative base wants a war with a Iran. I sense they are almost a bit disappointed that diplomacy worked here.

I'm thrilled, but not surprised. This is how most "international incidents" typically play out. Both sides gravitate towards their national interest in the long run -- which is away from confrontation. Unless you have a leader that is itching for a war for other reasons... which neither was.
