Bush Screams About Iran While US Exports To Iran Increase
While Bush and his Pentagon puppet Petraeus bloviate about Iran and bang the war drums, this country's exports to Iran have increased, that's right, increased under this prevaricating regime.
According to The Guardian: "US exports to Iran have jumped dramatically during president George Bush's years in office in spite of his tough rhetoric against the Tehran government and the imposition of fresh economic sanctions.
"Analysis of US government trade figures published today by the Associated Press revealed a near tenfold increase over the last seven years in sales to Iran.
"Goods include cigarettes, aircraft spare parts, bras, musical instruments, films, sculptures, furs and golf carts and/or snowmobiles.
"Although the sums are small, the disclosure is a political embarrassment for the US, coming at a time when it has been putting pressure on European governments, banks and companies to cut ties with Tehran."
Nah, the authoritarian, above the law, imperialist Bush administration is never embarrassed because to them up is down, black is white, lies are truth, large is small, and this is the land of Orwell and Alice in Wonderland.
While members of the Bush administration "if their lips are moving, they're lying" pressure other countries to sanction Iran, it seems the US still exports to that country.
And here is what The Guardian says the US exported:
US exports to Iran include:
Cigarettes: $158m
Commerical aircraft parts: $620,000
Bras: $101,000
Perfume: $8,900
Cosmetics: $96,000
Musical instruments and parts: $30,000
Sculptures: $175,000
Golf carts and/or snowmobiles $21,000
Movies: $4,000
Furs: $3,300
