Protestors in Iran
have now torched at least twelve gas stations and riots have
broken out in major cities across the country. The media is
reporting that its happening in reaction to a gas rationing
program declared late Tuesday night, but if you've been
watching this show, you know why it's really happening. The
Real Story is that Iran may have lots of oil, but they can't
refine it into gas and that's created a huge weakness...a
weakness we've been exploiting.
Through official
sanctions, and back-channel oil deals with countries like
Saudi Arabia, we've been squeezing the neck of Iran's
economy and now it's paying off. Gas prices jumped over 25
percent just last month, unemployment is rampant, inflation
is raging and now hundreds of thousands of cars are lined up
at gas stations, businesses are being looted and gas pumps
are burning. Things are so bad that 57 leading Iranian
economists even had the guts to risk their lives and publish
a letter saying that President Ahmadinejad's policies are
bringing financial chaos. But best of all, the Iranian
people -- our best chance for change -- are finally starting
to stand up....and not a minute too soon. Former U.N.
Ambassador John Bolton recently said that he thinks we're
running out of time in Iran and military action may one of
the only options left.
The only way to prevent that is to tighten the screws even
further. If the U.N. has even a shred of credibility left,
they'll recognize what's happening there for what it really
is: an opportunity; an opportunity to crush this regime and
change the face of the Middle East, all without one bullet
ever being fired. It's the opportunity of a lifetime that
Jimmy Carter missed in 1978....we can't miss it again.
