Will we have a 9-11 type of event to coincide with the Iranian Oil Bourse?
OK I just have to put this out there. I am on the west coast, and have been suffering from insomnia tonight. So I have been here reading. It is very clear to me that we are going into Iran. The elites best possible bet is regime change and sock puppet in Iran to secure dollar supremacy. They will not get UN support for sanctions or military action because of the economic interests of China and Russia. They won't get support from the American people either, regardless of what the "polls" are telling you; Americans are pissed and they are scared. If the REAL truth were known I would bet **'s true approval ratings are in the 20's (and that group is brain dead). There is no way they are going to WMD the public into supporting another war, not gonna happen, their credibility is shot. The only thing they can do is stage another false flag terrorist attack to traumatize the people.

Or MIHOP some sort of martial-law inducing event. That is why they have been spying on everyone. They want to know whose gonna cause trouble, spread information, and organize. Maybe someone should figure out why they want google searches from June and July of 05, hell maybe I will go look after I am done posting this, and try to figure it out.

So you don't think that sleep deprivation has caused me to lose my mind...again, take a look yourself.

1. At the risk of being measured for (another) tinfoil hat I say yes
I am really concerned that this is a serious risk. Considering the confluence of events, it would appear practically assured. What could be better for the Junta at this point?

2. I am sure I have one in your size....
Seriously though it is a forgone conclusion IMO. Going into Iran that is. All this bullshit about nuclear talks with the EU is just a front. They are trying to negotiate a deal for oil trades. They are obviously at an impasse.

This artlicle clearly lays out the US options:

At any rate, no matter what the British decide, should the Iranian Oil Bourse accelerate, the interests that matter—those of Europeans, Chinese, Japanese, Russians, and Arabs—will eagerly adopt the Euro, thus sealing the fate of the dollar. Americans cannot allow this to happen, and if necessary, will use a vast array of strategies to halt or hobble the operation’s exchange:

· Sabotaging the Exchange—this could be a computer virus, network, communications, or server attack, various server security breaches, or a 9-11-type attack on main and backup facilities.

· Coup d’état—this is by far the best long-term strategy available to the Americans.

· Negotiating Acceptable Terms & Limitations—this is another excellent solution to the Americans. Of course, a government coup is clearly the preferred strategy, for it will ensure that the exchange does not operate at all and does not threaten American interests. However, if an attempted sabotage or coup d’etat fails, then negotiation is clearly the second-best available option.

· Joint U.N. War Resolution—this will be, no doubt, hard to secure given the interests of all other member-states of the Security Council. Feverish rhetoric about Iranians developing nuclear weapons undoubtedly serves to prepare this course of action.

· Unilateral Nuclear Strike—this is a terrible strategic choice for all the reasons associated with the next strategy, the Unilateral Total War. The Americans will likely use Israel to do their dirty nuclear job.

5. Hitting Iran after getting 'hit' here would solve lost of junta problems
Take all the GOP scandals off people's minds.

Give reason for the Martial Law they have already decided upon.

Prop up the dollar.

Prop up Wall Street.

One more land grab to assure profitable pipeline routes for gas & oil.

Assure ALL $$ the government takes in from the taxes paid by the working class gets siphoned to the corporations in the Military Industrial Complex. They don't like spending on infrastructure and services for the regular citizenry.

Assures there is no future for young Americans besides signing up for military service, where they do not have civil rights to worry about losing.

Gives them clout to totally eliminate dissent.

Cuts down on the number of people living to ripe old age and needing care from the system instead of being healthy and strong enough to be exploited.

Gives the whacko far right, hate filled pretenders/self proclaimed xians a Crusade to get happy about.

Makes Likud REAL happy which probably makes Abramoff real happy, in or out of jail.

Gives the war mongers the chance to come all over their big weapons.

Blows the topic of Global Warming off the table. More worry about Nuclear Winter.

Assures more terrorist created by all the hundreds of thousands of kin of innocent victims swearing eternal enmity to the US. Which keeps the all the above items going for generations.

And that is why I have trouble sleeping

6. Looks like they will have an international coalition this time
At this point in time, it looks like they may have an international coalition this time. Therefor, they won't need a 9/11 size trigger, but they will need a justification for the possibility of a nuclear option. Which again, may largely depend on the size of the said coalition.

its unbelievable, but it appears to be happening again
