Iran wants euro payment (not USD) for new and outstanding oil sales

They are already dead man walking.

Wow, sensational:

General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned - Seven Countries In Five Years (and its oil that makes the US intervene in the Middle East). Originally published in March 2007 (Uploaded on 2011)

General Wesley Clark speaking with an interviewer and to an audience "the 92nd Street Y in New York":

Because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, "Sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second."

I said, "Well, you're too busy." He said, "No, no." He says, "We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq." This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, "We're going to war with Iraq? Why?" He said, "I don't know." He said, "I guess they don't know what else to do."

So I said, "Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?" He said, "No, no." He says, "There's nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq." He said, "I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments." And he said, "I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail."

So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, "Are we still going to war with Iraq?" And he said, "Oh, it's worse than that." He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" -- meaning the Secretary of Defense's office -- "today."

And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran."

I said, "Is it classified?" He said, "Yes, sir." I said, "Well, don't show it to me." And I saw him a year or so ago [c. 2006], and I said, "You remember that?" He said, "Sir, I didn't show you that memo! I didn't show it to you!"

Whata humdinger - see it for yourself at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw&feature=youtu.be&t=70 - just 2mins and 12 secs long.

Or see more here "... for the rest of the hour we are going to hear General Wesley Clark on the possibility of a U.S. attack on Iran, the impeachment of President Bush, the use of cluster bombs, the bombing of Radio Television Serbia during the Kosovo War and much more." http://www.globalresearch.ca/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-countries-in-5-years-iraq-syria-lebanon-libya-somalia-sudan-iran/5166

Note - General Wesley Clark could have cracked up then or subsequently ... but there's no hint of it at the Wonkypedia. "* Clark serves as the co-chairman of Growth Energy, an ethanol lobbying group,[6][7] and is on the board of directors of BNK Petroleum.[8]"*

The worst thing that Clark has ever been accused of is here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Clark#McCain_military_service_controversy - in 2008, he called into question the notion that McCain's military service alone had given him experience relevant to being president.

TL:DR - if it had not been for the Sunni resistance to the 2003 US/UK invasion of Iraq, we'd have plunged a much bigger region into the genocidal chaos we now see in Syria.
