Gee china is probably one of Irans biggest customers… Has the fiscal insanity spread into the body politic now? The chines might take such terroristic acts the wrong way… And newt would get americas balls caught in a nut cracker… Ths guy doesn’t even have to hace the puppet strings attached to him… George the conquereer didn’t have a clue without them… A Newt with a nut for a brain could be dangerous… he needs a reality check… if not via the chinese then a scouring of the west bank of the Persian gulf with 1000 kilo mobile missiles newt the nutter… these newts and israeli firsters should be laughed at because they are a joke.. they make no sense whatsoever…

Until the newts are neutered the demagogues will irresponsibly lead the nation astray… The media is supposed to protect the public from these political nutbars by exposing and ridiculing their ghastly platforms for what they are huh? But then the media is bought and paid for now too… here the financial times pretty much spells out what these israeli firsters are doing to undermine the worlds taut energy equation….
Turmoil turns Iran’s energy sector to Beijing
By Anna Fifield
Political upheaval in Iran will hamper the country’s beleaguered oil and gas industries, energy experts say, and encourage Tehran to look to China for investment.
Iran’s oil and gas sectors were suffering from a lack of investment before the dispute over last month’s election because most western operators were wary of engagement. But disquiet following the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad as president, dismissed as fraud by Mir-Hossein Moussavi, his challenger, has exacerbated that fear.

“Western companies and international oil companies are waiting to see what happens next, especially as there is talk of more sanctions,” said Julia Nanay, a senior director at PFC Energy, the consultancy.
Businesses were hoping the Obama administration, with its talk of engagement, would usher in an era of improved ties, paving the way for investment in the second largest holder of oil and gas reserves.
However, concern about the election and the heavy-handed response to the ensuing protests have damped those hopes.
“The question of whether the US-Iran dialogue is going to move forward is probably going to cause a slowdown in activity, certainly on the part of the western [international oil companies],” said Ms Nanay.
European oil majors such as Total, Royal Dutch Shell, Repsol and Statoil have delayed plans to develop parts of South Pars, the world’s biggest gas field, because of US sanctions, leading Iran to turn more frequently to China.
Most recently, the National Iranian Oil Company cancelled a deal with Total of France and signed a $4.7bn (€3.3bn, £2.9bn) contract with the Chinese National Petroleum Company to develop phase 11 of South Pars.
The South China Morning Post has reported that Iran invited Chinese companies to take part in several oil projects worth more than $42.8bn, citing Iran’s petroleum ministry.
Even before the turmoil, Iran signalled it had tired of western foot-dragging and was likely to favour Chinese oil companies.
