The March to War:

Naval Build-Up in the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean


http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=NAZ20061001&articleId=3361

In a carefully documented review of the ongoing naval build-up and deployment of coalition forces in the Middle East, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya points to naval deployment taking place in the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean. He warns that Israel and NATO will play a major role in the US-led war and that the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean, broadly under the jurisdiction of NATO in liaison with Israel, is directed against Syria. This naval buildup is coordinated with planned air attacks. Planning of the aerial bombings of Iran started in mid-2004.

I at first wondered why Foley was revealed NOW, but then, it isn't so hard to understand why. They already know the election is in the bag so it doesn't matter as they now have supreme power, so that makes a great smokescreen to hide all of this.

1. I doubt it.

27. That's just what they WANT you to believe

Attacking Iran is the October surprise. (of 2004)
Attacking France will be the November surprise!

[seriousstan]

2. Will we attack tomorrow morning or in 72 business hours?

[deaniac21]

5. Actually, we already attacked.....on May 12!

[me b zola]

24. With such a quick wit...

I keep expecting to see you post on some of the threads where we are gloating over the implosion of the pukes. You really should join us take joy watching the gop dig a giant hole for themselves--or are you the sensitive type?

[deaniac21]

30. Well written!

:toast:

[cynatnite]

3. Not believing it...

Truthout is sorely lacking any credibility, IMO. This story proves it.

[RestoreGore]

6. Then prove it isn't credible n/t

[seriousstan]

7. Rove is indicted?

[RestoreGore]

11. Is Global Research credible?

[BrotherBuzz]

18. Factually spot on, but analysis or conclusions are questionable at times

I like them, nevertheless.

[RestoreGore]

8. Is Gary Hart and Generals Credible?

[cynatnite]

12. Truthout's had some credibility problems for a little while

Jason Leopold had a lot to do with that.

Even without that, I still find this story not credible at all. It won't happen.

If it does, I'll be the first to say so. You can highlight this post and yell 'told you so' to your heart's content.

Otherwise, it's a bogus story, IMO.

[RestoreGore]

15. Truthout just CARRIED the story

I changed the link to the original.

[cynatnite]

22. So you don't think carrying it gives it credibility?

If that were the case why aren't newspapers and TV media carrying every plot and conspiracy known to man?

Many will not give stories such as these more credibility by carrying it unless it had credibility. If this story was true, you can bet it would knock Foley off the front pages.

I'm basically not a very gullible person and don't believe everything I read.

[VTMechEngr]

14. Fallacy.

[BrotherBuzz]

10. That story is from Global Research, not Trouthout

Why shot the messenger?

[Ian David]

4. WAG THE DOG! WAG THE DOG! NO WAR FOR FOLEY! N/T

[Bonhomme Richard]

9. That's ridiculous.

No way NATO is going to do the bidding of the fascist running this nation. That statement alone tells me this is bullshit.
More Propaganda.

[RestoreGore]

13. Then why are they now in control in Afghanistan?n/t

[Bonhomme Richard]

23. Uhmm...Maybe because they went in..................

to help us when they thought we still had honor as a nation. Of course it was shrub and the republicans that wasted the goodwill capital we gained after 9/11. Those nations, including France by the way, are now helping us try to salvage the catastrophe now occurring in Afghanistan due to the fact that the loons running this country are incapable of governing.

[RestoreGore]

25. But they are still there...And we have no honor

Which was my question.

[BelgianMadCow]

28. No way indeed

good call.

[Greyhound]

16. OMG, "coalition forces"... that's so funny

:rofl: "coalition forces":rofl: LOL :rofl: please make it stop, I can't breathe... :rofl:

[magellan]

17. I don't think Foley was part of a smokescreen

They don't need one on this because so few are paying attention, and the media certainly isn't covering it. I hope all the skeptical posts upthread are proved right, but as long as Bush** is in office then an attack on Iran remains a very high risk IMO.

[RestoreGore]

19. I don't want to believe it either

But they now have their torture bills in place and everything they need to do whatever the hell they want, and i think we need to be aware of that.

[William769]

20. We get one of these threads every week.

Still no attack. Guess what thats because it isn't going to happen.

P.S. I will not debate this either just book mark this thread, I know I am.

21. Question the Source!

The U.S.N.S. Supply will be a useful vessel in confronting the Iranian forces in the Persian Gulf in close-quarter combat. Speed will be an important factor in responding to potentially lethal Iranian missile and anti-ship missile attacks.

I wondered what kind of support ship (aka freighter) was going to be so usefull in close quarter combat. Well we see she has a crew of 176 civilians and 56 military personnel. A top speed of 26kts. No Arament and two CH-46 Helicopters. navysite.de/ships/aoe6.htm

That 26kt freighter should do real well aginst the 25 missile boats the Iranians a fielding, some with speeds in excess of 50kts. Plus 225 modern fighter aircraft. As I said in the other thread about this. Of 13 Major Carriers only two are in the gulf region. And of the amphibious support ships, light carriers really 1 of 12 looks like it will be in the area.

I would also add that any naval analyst that doesn't know a Battleship is a Class of Warship and is distinct from a carrier. Nor recognizes that every navy runs anti-submarine drills all the time. Doesn't know much about the subject they are commenting on.

26. Aww, my two favourite sites.

They never tire of being wrong.

29. This is entertaining.
