Special Report: Intel shows Iran nuclear threat not imminent

13. That would be kind of funny.

The Pashtun people are a sub-culture which extends across the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, not Iran. Normally I might doubt your guess, but considering the source, I won't be surprised to find that Bachmann confused the Pashtun people with a city in Iran (perhaps Bushehr?).

The actual interest of the Republicans is not in the nuclear facilities at Bushehr, but in one of the last untapped major oilfields which lies underneath it. Using the nuclear facility as a pretext, oil interests want to bag Bushehr province, cut the Iranians off from the Persian Gulf, steal their oil, and fight off four million redneck zealots who will pour over the mountains into the coastal plains to take it back.

Put Mitt Romney in office, and it will happen by this time next year.
