What in 2012?

Has crazy things in it. The law forces anyone that does business with Bank Markazi to choose between ending that business and with being blocked from the U.S. economy. So if you do business with Iran, you can't do business with the US, sounds like anti-free market, or to get big businesses in on an Iran war.
And this is Obama... not some neocon Bush, or Rumsfield.
So how can we in good concious vote for Obama, or the other neocon right winger they give us the option of voting for.
Bush hit us with a 10 pound sledge, Obama chose the lighter 5 pound sledge, it does not hurt as bad, but they are still hitting us with a fucking hammer.

That bank is the main bank of Iran. Soon you will see America blockading the coasts of Iran for anything dealing with oil just like we did with Japan. As soon as you see that you can guarentee some nastiness will occur.

This act was signed quite recently...now look what the EU is doing:

"E.U. Countries Take Step Toward Oil Embargo on Iran" (2 hours ago)

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/world/...n-oil.html

I believe they are trying to cut of Iran as much as possible.

Shit is going to get even worse...GOD DAMNIT! Im so fucking sick of this shit!
..on the other hand, Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabian / American Co. - The biggest company in the world) just had a huge expo:



Saudi Aramco’s aggressive expansion plans and the related opportunities for greater collaboration with U.S. manufacturers and service providers were among the featured topics at the second annual U.S.-Saudi Business Opportunities Forum held Dec. 5-7 in Atlanta, Georgia. Other keynote presentations covered the growth of Saudi Arabia’s economy and new opportunities for business alliances between Saudi Arabia and the United States.





The conference attracted more than 1,000 attendees, including senior Saudi and American officials and business leaders, and was conducted to promote business partnerships. It was organized by the International Trade Committee of the Council of Saudi Chambers and the U.S. Saudi Arabian Business Council, in coordination with the U.S. Commercial Service and the Saudi Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

Speaking in a panel session titled “Business Opportunities in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Sectors,” Munir Rafie, Saudi Aramco vice president of Materials Supply, reinforced the size and scale of Saudi Aramco’s operations and capital program, and highlighted the company’s diversification into petrochemicals.

“We have already established a petrochemical complex in Rabigh on the Kingdom’s West Coast with Sumitomo, and we are about to break ground in the Eastern Province, with Dow Chemicals, on the world’s largest integrated petrochemical complex,” he said. “Our aim is to develop industrial clusters around these core enterprises, creating new business opportunities for investors — both from within the Kingdom and throughout the world.”

Other conference presenters from Saudi Aramco included Khaled Juraifani, who covered “Saudi Arabia Investment Enablers,” and Nabilah Tunisi, who presented during a session titled “Downstream Petrochemicals: National Priority and International Opportunity.”

Can you imagine what an oil embargo and a bank embargo on Iran would do for the profits of Aramco?
