Iran warns against too much oil

The National -- Iran has warned of a worsening oil glut and predicts OPEC will urge its members to comply with their production quotas when its ministers meet on Wednesday.

The second-biggest OPEC producer also said there was no need for the group to revise output targets that had remained unchanged since December 2008.

“If the current oil production continues, the oil market will face an oversupply in the second half of 2010,” Mohammed Ali Khatibi, the country’s OPEC governor, said in remarks reported yesterday on the Iranian oil ministry website SHANA. “OPEC will ask its members to comply with their quotas until the economic crisis is over.”

Obama and Congress need a wake up call that they will understand! Nothing else seems to be getting through to Washington, they simply just don't care. Let's see if we can't help these wealthy politicians join some of our unemployed real Americans out here. Maybe they'll get the point then, if it's not to late for America.

granitestater Champion Author New Hampshire Posts:4,106 Points:637,550 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Mar 14, 2010 11:27:54 PM Ignore granitestater Report Abuse Oil companies are trying to bring on line oil sources before there's a carbon cutoff. Even if oil is in oversupply, it costs whatever it costs to bring it to market. And even if oil companies and such were able to reduce prices. Governments would raise taxes to the hilt to fill the gap between cost and what the market will bear...

Why does the world's every decision hinge on this little whack job Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? He can come into the UN in NY City and threaten the entire world with certain annihilation if any retaliation is brought against his country from anyone, especially the US or Israel. I think Iran's warnings are getting old. They have to import their own gasoline. It's time they were booted out of the UN and sent packing. Their people have little or no rights only the govt. Let's see how well they really could stand on their own as that little piece of garbage really thinks they are the greatest, strongest, nation in the world!

Cheaper to ship and at least Canada doesn't want to terrorize us. We should also be getting free oil from Iraq, after all, I believe that was part of the reason we went to war in the first place.
