Smoke and Mirrors... Ahmawhackjob style.

Crude oil prices went through the roof the other day upon news that Iran test fired a "new generation" of missiles capable of striking distant targets, including Israel.

Everything seemed to make sense, until one takes into account that the whole Iranian operation, entitled, "The Great Prophet III war games," was nothing but an exercise in smoke and mirrors.

As the fourth largest oil exporting nation in the world, and with an expensive nuclear munitions habit to feed, Ahmadinejad realizes that all he has to do is to sneeze and the size of his coffers will increase exponentially. Nice work if you can get it.

Yet the democrats continue to say that harvesting our own oil has nothing to do with solving the problem.

And Ahmanislamistfreakjob laughs all the way to the bank.

****UPDATE 4:09p CDT*****

My son drew my attention to this article that exposed the Iranian images of missile firing as a photoshopped image: Since the Iranians did such a piss-poor job of photoshopping the non-event event, my son Leo III thought he'd give the Iranians a hand and do his own version:

Good job, son.
