So if Iraq was "War for NOT oil"... what's Iran?

In case you missed the thread...

If you thought it was "Blood for Oil"--you're wrong. It was far, far worse.

So today I'm watching Fox News (O'Reilly), keeping tabs on the enemy, when I hear him talking about the Iran sanctions, and my ears prick up when I hear that they'd be able to sell more oil if the sanctions were lifted. And I think, that's just what the oil barons don't want.. they don't want more oil out there on the market, further driving down the already low price per barrel.

Is Fox News (and those who fund it) really worried about Iran getting nuclear capability, or are they really just concerned that those sanctions will be lifted, thereby hitting them in their fat (but never fat enough) pocketbooks?

1. War to hit back for keeping our diplomats hostage

until Bush the Elder did a dirty deal with them behind Carter's back.

Nobody really thinks they're really close to detonating a successful nuke and even if they did, they would be unlikely to destabilize the region. In fact, they are the main counterweight to ISIS, something spiteful Republicans are incapable of understanding.

Iran has not been expansionist for centuries. They are backing up the Shi'ites in Iraq to keep them from being slaughtered by the Sunnis.

Republicans can't be educated. They can only be thrown out of power so they can do nothing but exercise their flamethrower mouths to the domestic press.
