...which will include at least one guided missile cruiser and three guided missile destroyers in accompaniment.

That is a LOT of presence in the gulf and would set a US naval historical precedent.

Panetta on 60 Minutes said: "The United States -- and the president's made this clear -- does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us. And it's a red line obviously for the Israelis so we share a common goal here."

OR, or...

It could be completely innocent and have nothing to do with the increase in US amphibious assault troops in Kuwait and Israel, and of course nothing to do with Iran's threats re oil supply to the EU.

Al Arabiya speculates that it has more to do with Iran threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz which is a critical oil shipping channel.

Illy's been around, but this isn't really tinfoiler stuff. I doubt most Americans would believe it's about nucular weapons if we started firing rockets at Tehran. As a famous American familiar with this scenario once said, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...you can't...you won't get fooled again".

Tehran set their course when they stopped playing ball with the West with the oil contracts...


Nobody gives a damn about their nukes or lack thereof.

Ah yez - 'WDMs in Iraq' replaced with 'Nukes in Iran'. The US media would replay tapes of Ahmenmodwadjihad making stupid remarks about death to America and the game would be on and no one, not one of the media pointing out that Ahmenmodwadjihad is to the power structure in Iran as a teleprompter is to Obama.

This time the Zionist neocon war mongering media & establishment complex isn't even going to bother making an attempt at a case for war. They are just going to do it while they are in power based on the premise that it is better to beg forgiveness (plus they have the media locked up) than to ask for permission.

And the extra carriers? They probably felt that they weren't going to get away with this ploy.

2012 is the year of reckoning for Iran. They are squeezed by sanctions so tightly, somethings got to give, either their nuclear program or war.

The antiwar left never existed, they only pretended to be so because they wanted their approved Zionist neocon war mongers in charge versus the other side Zionist neocon war mongers.

The D versus R establishment paradigm is a successful fraud against people who think their partisanship game participation matters for them.

The middle east should be honored that we went through so much trouble creating such an elaborate D versus R establishment smokescreen on their behalf.
