Whoops

I made a mistake, the text of the Iranian's President's letter to GWB was in released to the public on Monday.
I said it wasn't available, my bad.
I'd link to it, but blogger isn't fully compatible with the Mac OS.

Its full of the usual drivel, however the real story out there is the alleged conciliatory diplomatic moves from the Iranian Mullahs.
A letter has been sent to "Time Magazine" of all things and it is seen as a diplomatic opening to Washington.
The Mullahs occupy a position akin to the Central Committee and the Politburo, ergo they are the real power in Iran.
They may wanna negotiate.
At the moment we do have something like a strong hand against them, the threat of force and de facto sovereignty over Iraq, a nations' whose final status is uppermost on the minds of the Iranian elite.
So there may be a sort of deal out there, they give up their nukes...we recognize their interests in Iraq.
Sordid?
Yes.
Practical....maybe.

Anyway all speculation aside, my original thesis still stands, if a exchange of harsh words between DC and Tehran can drive the price of crude up over $70 a barrel, wait til the ten kiloton bunker busters start going off.

Meanwhile, the President is still speaking tonight, trying to get everyone het up over Rosita the Maid's uppity attitude.
However, there are rumors out there, mere rumors, that the President might be trying to direct the public's attention away from a breaking scandal.
Rumors though...
