White House Threatens Swiss Over $42b Iran Gas Deal

Politics – Of all the pathetic evidence that the Bush Administration had degraded U.S. influence in the world, this is up there. Rarely have we seen how weak the man behind the curtain really is.

Thanks for this tehranchick - the fool GWB acts like a big and stupid bully - well if you don't do it our way - we'll bomb the hell out of you and take it and leave your country in a shambles. The Swiss have always been neutral. We need to be more like Switzerland - neutral - but helpful. When you act like a bully like GWB - then you are left with no one who wants to deal with you.

It's too bad that the 'house of cards' this administration built up didn't start falling down long ago. If it had we MIGHT have been able to save the US from the damage of Dumbya and 'frat brothers'.

That Bush sure can TALK big, can't he!

Too bad NO ONE is on his side on this one.

And with Russia working hand in hand with Iran to get Iran in on a natural gas cartel, which will pump money into Iran's nuke (peaceful or not) program - with euros backing it, it's time to bite the bullet and lean way over and shake hands with Iran.

What a conundrum... Iran is influential through Iraq shiites, They are apparently funding hezbollah and others in Palestine and Lebanon, Syria is an ally, Afghanistan says that Iran is a helpful ally in the War Of Terror, and Russia is building nuke facilities and selling weapons to Iran.

Yeah, go feeding THAT fire, little Bush!

I know right where my loyalties lie. Who do we think we are?! When were we appointed God of the world? Any deal that the Swiss want to make with any other country is up to them----not us. It looks like the world has been paying attention to our lies and the laws we've broken. I wish the american people would do the same.

Roves Revenge this time?

Dude, why do you have to insult her by calling her terrorchick? Some of America's actions as of late would be considered terrorism. Oh, I get it. You're one of those who thinks that his country is right no matter what it does. Killing left wing South and Central American politicians and then harboring their killer, supporting various despots around the world and then turning on them when they no longer want to be our bitch, supporting racist governments, experimenting with its minority citizens, overthrowing a democratically elected government over oil in 1953 and the list goes on.

You need to get off my girl and take off those rose colored glasses Pollyana

"Bush threatend to smack around the lousy swiss, and your point is?"

It's not working this time. The world isn't listening like they did when we were a country with morals.

You might want to take Once Britain and Italy of your list of so called conservatives. Gordon Brown, the current Prime Minister of Once Great Britain is a member of the Labor Party and Giorgio Napolitano, the current Italian PM is a member of the Democrats of the Left party. So, maybe you need to fact check before you post

Who said that we hated America? What I hate is America's hypocracy about its business. Our government constantly interfers in the internal affairs of other countries, has killed left leaning politicians through out Africa, Central and South America, experimented on its minority citizens, supported racists governments, supported various militias that fought against legitimate governments and the list goes on. Does calling the country, where you live, to actually live up to its promise un-American?

Thanks Abu---I didn't say anything about despise or hate in any of my comments. I said the world isn't listening.

RR---you might tell the Swiss my 'argument carries no water'.
