War with Iran.

walker · February 28, 2002

Hi All

I supose I am not the only one tracking this.

It is all over the Arab and Israeli press, as well as the blogosphere, though the main street western press other than an article today in Forbes has been asleep at the wheel.

The Israeli president calls on all Jewish People to pray for Israel, and for all expatriot Israeli's and foreign Jewish people to come to Israel, read those of fighting age.

Saudi Arbabia gives flight corridor permission for Israeli planes and beefs up its own F15's.

Egypt locks every one else out of the Suez Canal and guards its banks to let the USS Harry Truman fleet plus a crowded Israeli troop ship through.

Iran anounces that the supposed relief fleet to Gaza that it will send with a navy escort is now cancelled, and rquires all troops to report, then moves forces to its borders with Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and speeds up its Uranium enrichment and starts chucking IAEA observers out.

It has the same feel as what you read about WWI.

I fear we are moving to a war where both sides will use nukes.

Yeah its coming soon.... on a side note, doesnt it seem like every free people has had to fight off Persia? (aka Iran)

Man I havent heard about them calling in all their troops though, sounds like both sides are waiting for the other to make a move now, might not mean one side is going to attack, their both just expecting the other too. I'm sure all of Israels enemies are shaking right now though, they pissed Israel off and now their just waiting for their ass whipping :)

Either way, maybe the IDF Mahal will finally take me lol :yay: that or the Marine Corp. Cause the shit is just about to hit the fan, I dunno if you're religious or not, but if you are you might take all this as a sign the shit thats about to hit the fan is the main shit, the shit to end all shit so to speak lol.

If only we had a real President, not a socialist traitor whose destroying the country from within, maybe we'd back Israel and with a show of force and support we could avoid the whole situation.

You remember though when one of the Israelis soldiers got kidnapped a few years ago? They raided the place where they thought he was with tanks, troops, airstrikes, everything. Israel doesnt mess around, they cant afford to with everybody wanting them dead so badly, so Israel might make the first move and if they do I wouldnt blame them.

Question is, how will the UN and everybody else feel though? I thought their purpose was to prevent WW3, but them criticizing Israel for attacking a Trojan horse of a flotilla shows how much sense they have...

Don't think I'm hoping for this either, its just unless your blind, you gotta know its coming.

Why not support your president instead of bashing?

And what about Israeli nukes? When will US launch an attack there to disable that threat?

What if what if......

And maybe Iran really just wants to produce cheap electricity. it is their right.

(I want to be naive.)

Still no proves have been presented of actual nuclear weapons.

This is total bollocks once again... pardon my language.

walker - stop drinking coffee 24/7 !! ;)

If you can - count all US Navy transits through the Suez Canal starting from the Eighties.

If you can - get some infos why Saudi Arabia "beefs up" their F15s.

If you can - stop beeing an armchair theorist claiming that blogs and columns are always true.

Enjoy your life and die happy!

Pics or it didn't happen. It might have just been the German ship that is part of that fleet that they've seen.

Yeeeehaaw! ride em cowboy!

Well to be honest, not much will happen until both Iraq and Afghanistan are both finished, what in about 12-18 mths?

Afghaniston will be a slow withdrawl for the West, stating weve done what we set out to do etc, all awhile knowing it's not actually a war you could win.

a few months after the withdrawl Talaban will take over again.

but hey...

Answer this tho, the security council wanted Iran to hand over it nuke material and get enriched material in return, Iran agreed to use Brazil and Turkey yet suddenly the security council found that unacceptable.

I fear a strange game is being played out and were all along for the ride.

Iran won't be an Iraq thats for sure.

mattxr · January 17, 2005

Well if the 2 sides nuke each other lets just let em get on with it i say! palastine then becomes free and Iran no longer a threat!

Done and Done everyone is happy.

A word of advice, if you're going to bash the president do it in a intelligent manner and not use the variations of the scripted buzz phrases that the far right puts out for it's ignorant followers.

As for supporting Israel, why should we support a country that attacks ships in international waters with little or no cause? I personally say it's high time Israel fight it's own war without the US supplying it (with ammo or foreign recruits) or acting as mediator. I refuse to support the actions of a war monger i.e. Benjamin Netanyahu.

Either way, maybe the IDF Mahal will finally take me lol that or the Marine Corp. Cause the shit is just about to hit the fan, I dunno if you're religious or not, but if you are you might take all this as a sign the shit thats about to hit the fan is the main shit, the shit to end all shit so to speak lol.

Hi all

I think from Iran's recent actions and some what bellicose replies in the last few days indicate that it already has one or more nukes.

The problem is that Valerie Wilson (Plame) who was the head of the CIA Asia and the Middle East counter proliferation department was outed by some one within the US Government along with her cover company and all her assets and agents.

This essentially blinded the US to what is going on in Iran and since then the US has been desperately trying to insert new agent's and recruit new assets; many of who have been caught or burned. As a consequence US intelligence on Iran was knocked back 20 years and the US has been forced to rely on information from third parties with their own agenda's.

People rarely understand how much of the work of secret services is really for the purpose of gathering information and maintaining peace, rather they get mesmerised by James Bond Hollywood bullshit operations.

I am afraid you missed out far and wide with this one Walker. There is nothing "alarming" about the news reported in Arab and Israeli press as far as I can tell. I have to say this is as sad as all those "war is gonna break out with north Korea....finally" posts that pops all over the internet every once in a while.

As for all those warmongers who seem to be roaming around here............meh

Egypt locks every one else out of the Suez Canal and guards its banks to let the USS Harry Truman fleet plus a crowded Israeli troop ship through.

This is a normal move considering the thread of terrorism on such a capital ship on it's way to relieve the Eisenhower CSG in the OA of the 5th Fleet, the only foreign ship with the Truman CSG is the German frigate Hessen. Reports state that there were 12 ships.

The Truman Carrier Strike Group consists of:

USS Harry S. Truman with embarked Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW 3)

Guided missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60)

Aegis-equipped destroyers USS Winston Churchill (DDG 81), USS Milius (DDG 69), USS Ross (DDG 71), USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79)

German frigate FGS Hessen (F221).

That's just 7 ships. Add one supply ship and a tanker, and you get to 9. The Israeli navy is very small, it would make no sense to send at least 3 of their top warships through and not think anyone would anticipate their next move.

Hi Barely-injured

Sorry I normally quote supporting evidense from the media when I post things but as I said the western media seems to be asleep at the wheel I was just waiting for them to catch up with the reports in Israel and throughout the Middle East:

The Israeli president calls on all Jewish People to pray for Israel, and for all expatriot Israeli's and foreign Jewish people to come to Israel, read those of fighting age.

Peres Calls on Jews to Pray for Israel and â€˜Come Homeâ€™

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

President Shimon Peres, citing the terrorist-sponsored international attempt to make Israel illegitimate, told the Jewish Agency on Sunday morning, â€œWe are a people with faith. It is time to pray.â€ He also called on Jews all over the world to move to Israel.

His speech opened the annual Jewish Agency Assembly in Jerusalem. The President reviewed modern history, including the Holocaust and the seven Arab wars against Israel since the re-establishment of the Jewish State in 1948. Israel won the wars, but â€œthreats still remain,â€ he stated...
