America, your president is about to launch World War III
The facts:

1. Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) have been spotted by the British on at least three occasions crossing the southern Iran/Iraq border nearest Basra and deploying spec. troops. On the Iranian side are the bulk of Iran's Province of Khuzestan's oil fields. These oil fields would be prime targets in the event of a U.S.-led invasion. The IRG specialist troops have the task of attacking communications, command, control, and intelligence facilities, and causing general chaos in the event of war.

When the Roman Empire was collapsing, the Emperor decided to avert the Mobs' attention by holding a year's worth of fantastic games and slaughters in the Coliseum.

Meanwhile the Barbarians were on the border.

2. Iran has rationed fuel to its population causing riots and discontent which have been widely reported in world media.

3. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has dramatically escalated his socialist policies, and actually nationalized all of the Orinoco production facilities, where large US oil and gas companies have literally billions invested in infrastructure.

4. Hamas has taken over the Gaza strip.

5. Hez b'Allah have begun aggressively reasserting itself in Lebanon.

6. Syria has significantly bolstered its troops and moved these troops closer to the Golan Heights much as they did prior to war in '73 (Yom Kippur).

7. Turkey has massed more than 50,000 troops on the northern Iraq border against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Note, however, that NW Iran borders SE Turkey.

8. The Arab Gulf States have openly declared they are preparing/prepared for a U.S./Iran conflict this Summer.

9. Significant U.S. politicians are openly advocating war with Iran. These war advocates are Republicans, however, no voice of dissent is being heard from the Democrats.

10. Anti-Iranian propaganda is in full-swing of late.

11. The largest naval armada assembled off the coast of Iran since the 2003 Iraq war commenced is assembled and waiting. A 4th US Carrier fleet will secure the Suez.

12. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is full.

13. Next round of U.N. sanctions are on the way.

14. Politicians on all sides of this conflict have a vested political interest in war as a means of political survival. They are all hard-liners.

15. Moscow has released nuclear fuel to Iran for the Bushehr reactor.

16. Israel has recently and successfully launched its Ofeq-7 spy imaging satellite which gives it a great view of Iran (amongst others).

Conclusion: War is close.

Understanding that Iran is oil rich, but refinery poor, it is still quite an unusual event for them to ration petrol. They knew that it would cause public discontent and would be covered widely in world media. Despite the embarrassing news of riots, Iran knows that rationing petrol is a strategic preparation for war.

1. I take issue with one of the statements and will therefore disregard it all.
Edited on Sat Jun-30-07 12:12 AM by Captain Angry
(says the MSM or any normal politician)

Cough.

Pretty straightforward list of what's possible.

And they left out all of the internal policy changes that have been made here to make such a thing easier. Detention camps, more difficulty crossing borders, continuity of government exercises, etc.




Edit: Eye Kant Spel.

9. Is it a blue ribbon fact finding commission?

These are the days that prove that time travel is truly impossible.

Because you KNOW if it exists in the future, that somebody would come back in time and smack Bush right in the mouth. On TV, during a State of the Union or something.

13. Do those tasks and duties involve agendas and mission statements?

Will synergies be found? Will they be synergistic?

20. Do you get the feeling that we've been exposed to WAY too much

Corporate America and Politics to allow our thread to go this long?

The depressing thing is that I've seen or heard these stupid terms used in serious conversation at work.

Bottom line, the material in your original post is scary as hell. Some thing they're all coincidences. Some think it's all going to work out. Some think this is the sure sign of the apocalypse.

Me? I just think we have the potential of watching an earth shaking set of events this year.

22. So when things suck here, we talk about going to Canada.

People are nicer, Tim Hortons shops are everywhere, and the air seems cleaner.

Where are you guys going to go if your government wrecks Canada like ours is wrecking the planet?

23. We have a secret pact with this thing...
we call it the 'rest of the world"

Canadians will be fine, as long as the US maintains a sense of normalcy.

Fingers Crossed.

Thanks for making me smile tonight Cappy!

Stay outside of that box that the box is in. You don't know where it's been.

11. Turkey could start it as easily as the US or Iran could.
Right now, Turkey is coming close to repeating the mistake similar in size to the one that Austria-Hungary committed when they decided to mobilize to crush the fledgling state of Serbia. Their military leaders are lobbying the Turkish government hard for permission to launch an invasion.

27. So, you've got your crystal ball all polished up, right?
We've been saying this almost since the end of World War II, through the "Cold" War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, etc.

I'll wait and see, but thank you for your list of interesting facts which I have no time to check on this busy week.

In peace,

Radio Lady in Oregon

28. With all of this shit going on in the world, my only hope is that Americans would wake up and
realize that our next President better know what the hell he is doing.

This election is not about who you would like to have a beer with, you better pick one of the 2 candidates that know foreign relations and are able to make rational decisions; negotiate; plan strategies; speak with foreign leaders. Or beg Kerry or Clark to run.

This is not the time for a popularity contest.

30. it'll be cathartic . . . think about it . . . we'll greatly reduce world population . . .
alter the climate even more than we're now doing, contaminate large portions of several nations for eternity, drive any number of species to extinction, and generally increase the existing chaos geometrically . . .

yeah, what this planet needs is a good, old-fashioned nuclear war . . . giddyup! . . .
