Israel's unhealthy neurosis will make our lives a misery

Israel has it's knickers in a twist about Iran developing nuclear weapons even though the intelligence agencies have been saying for many years that Iran is not trying to build a bomb. Israel's Prime Minister and chief fear-monger, Benjamin Netanyahu, flew to Washington last year to stoke the panic by warning Congress that a " militant Islamic regime" was threatening the world and urged the U.S. never to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

In his speech to a joint session of Congress, Netanyahu said an Iran armed with nuclear weapons would become a “clear and present danger” across the globe. "This is why I ask you to continue to send an unequivocal message that America will never permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons," he said.

"Now time is running out," Netanyahu said. "The hinge of history may soon turn, for the greatest danger of all could soon be upon us: a militant Islamic regime armed with nuclear weapons."

“Militant Islam threatens the world. It threatens Islam,” He added.

Netanyahu said he believed militant Islam would ultimately fail, but expressed concern that it could exact a “horrific price” before its demise.

“A nuclear-armed Iran would ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. It would give terrorists a nuclear umbrella. It would make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger throughout the world,” Netanyahu said.

"I want you to understand what this means, because if we don't stop it, it's coming," said Netanyahu.

Unfortunately for us Congress bought into this absurdity and rose to its feet multiple times to applaud Netanyahu.

Obama is now pushing ahead with sanctions against Iran on behalf of Israel.

"There should be no doubt -- the United States and the international community are determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons," Obama said at the signing of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act at the White House.

Energy experts have weighed in on Obama's sanctions and warned that they are driving up prices at the pump.

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The head of the U.S. Energy Information Administration joined a panel of energy experts Thursday in dismissing the idea that a "quick fix" could reduce U.S. gasoline prices, saying instead that rising demand for oil around the world and supply concerns stemming from Iran sanctions are driving prices at the pump.

EIA Acting Administrator Howard Gruenspecht, speaking at a Senate hearing on gasoline prices, said many experts believe these trends will continue "and that's really a combination that affecting the market."
