Israeli papers are predicting that the USA will bomb Iran. Craig from V-Dare thinks that that is the case:
According Novosti, Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov said "that the Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Iran’s military infrastructure in the near future."Does it mean that oil may reach 200 $/barrel? I was burned by oil futures once. But the past does not predict the future, in my opinion. This is supposed to be a learning diary, so what did I learn from my infamous oil put option speculation in 2007? What is the lesson, "Try again!"?
Okaz, a Saudi newspaper, reported on March 22, the day following Cheney’s visit, that the Shura Council is preparing "national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom following experts’ warnings of possible attacks on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactors."
Admiral William "there will be no attack on Iran on my watch" Fallon has been removed as US chief of Central Command, thus clearing the way for Cheney’s planned attack on Iran. Gen. David Petraeus (pic), promoter of the liquidation of Iran, has been promoted.
To counter any Iranian missiles launched in response to an attack, the US is deploying anti-missile defenses to protect US bases and Saudi oil fields.

Novosti, Okaz, V-dare - these are not exactly reliable sources. I realize most of our newspapers (Israeli and American) are leftist fish wrap, but even they bear a closer relationship to truth than the wild rantings that you have seen fit to reprint here. If you asked any of these sources why " Cheney" was preparing such an attack (strange since under the US constitution the vice president has no executive authority to do anything), they would gladly tell you it is because he manipulated by a cabal of neo-Conservative Zionists.
Even in the context of "parnose" (making a livelihood) you shouldn't give air to such haters.
Hebrew language papers are writing day in day out about the coming levelling of Iran´s nuclear ambitions. Fallon was "no team player" and replaced by Gen. Petraeus, a fact that seems to suggest something. These rumors must affect oil futures. There is money to be made in oil futures. If I only knew how.
As regards oil, just bet both ways. You will make money, and probably in both directions, if you give it enough time.
As regards the other matter, it will be the first test of Obama.
And soon. And if he fails it, the rest of his presidency will be irrelevant.
