Looks like Ahmadinejad has us right where he wants us - over a barrel.

Republicans might be slowly turning our great nation into a third-world country, but it doesn’t give Ahmadinejad the right to kick us why we’re down. Calling our currency “paper”, and saying we should be paying more for oil isn’t very nice.

What in the world have we done to make him hate us so much?

Report: Iran’s president says oil prices too low

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s hard-line president declared that crude oil prices, now above $115 a barrel, are too low, state media reported Saturday.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an oil and gas exhibition in Tehran on Friday that he thought the commodity still had to “discover its real value,” according to the Web site of Iran’s state-run television.

Oil prices have hit all-time highs above $115 a barrel in recent weeks, amid reports that oil and gasoline reserves in the United States were lower than expected and as the dollar sinks to record lows.

There are still people out there who don’t realize that when situations arise that require great care and diplomacy, but aren’t given those considerations, shit like this comes back to bite us on the ass later on.
