Bush sends nuclear sub and more warships to the Gulf

Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:57:23 PM PDT


According to Chris Floyd at the Empire Burlesque web site:
http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/1463/135/

The Saudi government is now preparing plans to deal with "any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards" that may arise from an attack on Iran's nuclear reactors. This was reported by a top Saudi newspaper, Okaz, and relayed by a leading German news service, DPA -- one day after Dick Cheney paid a visit to the kingdom. As we noted, no one knows exactly what was said at that confab of allied authoritarians -- but something sure lit a fire under the Saudis, and convinced them that urgent action is needed to brace for the lethal overspill from a strike on Iran.


Floyd points out that nothing in Saudi Arabia becomes the top news story without government approval. That such a story should be released the day after Cheney's visit, sends a message to everyone about what’s on Cheney's mind.


This, combined with the dismissal of Centcom chief, Admiral Fallon, Petreus' claim to have evidence (which he doesn't produce) that Iran was responsible for the recent shelling of the Green Zone,


. . and the Egyptian report that a nuclear sub has been ordered by Bush into the Gulf, the bleak picture in both Pakistan and Afghanistan (accelerating collapse of Musharraf's power and strategy, the coming spring offensive in the Taliban's announced drive for Kabu),

2. We should welcome Saudi Arabia to the League of Bullshit Nations.
You LIE, and the USA sends you 30 billion in arms for FREE!
IN return, you sell us $100-a-barrel crude instead of $40.
I think Bush calls that "coalition building."

6. Yes, it was part of President Cheney's most recent world tour.
McSame and Benedict Lieberman pitched in to spread the good word.

I wonder how these warmongers would feel if China nuked one of the Central American nations.

5. Best case, it's more saber-rattling.
Worst case, it's fucking armageddon. Given their track record, you'd have to bet on worst case.

Iran if its hit is going to hit Iraq and Israel and the fall out goes to Asia next

I think these guys just have blood lust

Blood lust is a powerful thing
I think we are dealing with occultists using blood of innocent victims to increase their power

13. Another interesting article from the page you posted .......
War with Iran may have begun with offensive in Iraq

The United States military offensive against Iran may have begun with a swiftly escalating series of operations directed against the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia led by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, which had been observing a six month old cease-fire.

Overall circumstances in support of this conclusion:

* If attacks against Iran are to commence soon, then it makes sense to weaken those forces considered likely to irrupt in response to such an attack: Better to attack those forces first and separately, throwing them off balance and subjecting them to prolonged siege, thereby depleting their assets and revealing their larger weapon capabilities and stores, prior to an attack on Iran itself;

* If attacks against Iran are to commence soon, then it makes sense to force an end to the Mahdi Army six month cease-fire and to establish general conditions of conflict, during which accusations and operations against Iran would appear less unprovoked;

* The recent Bush and Cheney "peace" trips occurred within the planning and operating context of not only the current offensive, but also part of an event platform for operations whose scale and duration certainly extend beyond the forces deployed in the port of Basra during the last week in March, leaving the distinct impression US actions are plan rather than event driven.

note: this sounds eerily familiar to when we found out that U.S. forces increased bombing missions dramatically over the 'no fly zones' prior to invading Iraq 5 years ago .....

wanted to they could capture and save the water for the good of the people. Instead we're talking contaminated nuclear fall out affecting the water flooding down on nations - mostly Bangladesh, India, Pakisatan - and causing further deterioration of the oceans - whether there is anything left of mankind.

Just remember - what Dick is playing with

Saudi- Sunni
Iran - Shite

This is not our business.
It is their oil.
It is not Exxons oil.
Neither is it the oil of Exxons friends and operatives.

Greed, power, control over the good of man.
