#2 Glad to see we still have a few companies that support us. For all that are taking advantage of us, just remember, this is a one term president and the shift to the right will be swift and the blade sharp.

#3 "United Arab Emirates have refused fuel for Iranian planes"

Interesting. Guess Arab really don't like the Mullahs.

Did they sat least sell them enough fuel to get out of the country?

#4 Britain, Germany and the UAE deny this report.

Britain, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates denied reports Monday that their airports were refusing fuel to Iranian planes, according to AFP.

A secretary of the Iranian Airlines Union told the ISNA news agency earlier that "since last week, after the passing of the unilateral law by America and the sanctions against Iran, airports in England, Germany, the UAE have refused to give fuel to Iranian planes."

All three countries denied the report. In London, a British government spokesman said: "At present Her Majesty's Government is not aware of any occasions when fuel has been refused in the UK."

#6 Smells like bullshit. If they couldn't refuel then how could they fly home? There should be Iranian planes stacking up at airports throughout Europe, and breathless press stories about the poor, oppressed pilots & crew.
