Tick… tick… tick…
There is a massive concentration of US naval power in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. Three US naval strike groups off the Iranian coastline are deployed: USS Enterprise, USS Eisenhower and USS Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group.
The naval strike groups have been assigned to fighting the “global war on terrorism.”
Tehran considers the US war games to be conducted in the Persian Gulf, off the Iranian coastline as a provocation, which is intended to trigger a potential crisis and a situation of direct confrontation between US and Iranian naval forces in the Persian Gulf:
“Reports say the US-led naval exercises based near Bahrain will practise intercepting and searching ships carrying weapons of mass destruction and missiles.
Iran’s official news agency IRNA quoted an unnamed foreign ministry official as describing the military manoeuvres as dangerous and suspicious.
Reports say the US-led naval exercises based near Bahrain will practise intercepting and searching ships carrying weapons of mass destruction and missiles.
The Iranian foreign ministry official said the US-led exercises were not in line with the security and stability of the region. Instead, they are aimed at fomenting crises, he said.” (quoted in BBC, 23 October 2006)
THEY ARE NOT THERE FOR WAR GAMES OR SHIP SEARCHES!!! THEY ARE THERE FOR ONE THING! THAT IS IF CONGRESS AND SENATE GO DEM HE CAN START HIM ANOTHER WAR (WORLD WAR #3) AND BECOME A DICTATOR LIKE HE WANTS TO!
They are there “just in case”. The sabre-rattling will continue. The tensions will keep being ratcheted up.
And, if Israel should suddenly discover shocking evidence that Iran’s an imminent danger, and begin bombing, why… we’ll already be there to “lend support”!
And, if fired upon, totally annihilate any attackers.
I don’t think BushCo. will actually invade Iran, unless they get supremely desperate — say, losing the majority in Congress, even after all the fear-mongering and electoral tricks. But, remember who we’re talking about here…!
To attempt to “second guess” a socio/psychopath is work for fools: don’t waste your time trying to predict the totally unpredictable!
There is no telling what the CABAL OF FOOLS figure-headed by George W. Bush will or won’t do.
NOT TRYING TO SECOND GUESS!!! HE WILL START A WAR SO HE CAN STAY IN AS DICTATOR!
Let’s all pray that the Iranians do provoke an attack.
The sooner we have insurmountable logic to launch an all out devastating anihilation of Iran… the better for the whole world.
President Bush is just who we need to be commander in chief when (not if) we take the step of ending the country of Iran.
John Kerry and the democrats would be for the strike on Iran… before they decided they were against it… and then surrender… and let America become part of the Muslim World.
So… either suck it up now… or start reading a Koran later.
You decide.
