U.S. military buildup on Iran border- Russian Intelligence

[Ichingcarpenter]

Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran’s borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday.

“The latest military intelligence data point to heightened U.S. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran,” the official said, adding that the Pentagon has probably not yet made a final decision as to when an attack will be launched.

He said the Pentagon is looking for a way to deliver a strike against Iran “that would enable the Americans to bring the country to its knees at minimal cost.”

He also said the U.S. Naval presence in the Persian Gulf has for the first time in the past four years reached the level that existed shortly before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

Col.-Gen. Leonid Ivashov, vice president of the Academy of Geopolitical Sciences, said last week that the Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Iran’s military infrastructure in the near future.

The English Iranian website Press.tv has some more information about the USS John C. Stennis and the US nuclear submarines. Unfortunately I couldn't put the link to this article directly into my comment because the site seems to be currently down (I have no idea why).

1. These stupid dumb fucks!!!

Meanwhile Congress twiddles its thumbs re: impeachment.

Why do you think BiggusDickus was in the ME last month?

Where is the OUTRAGE? :shrug:

2. This leaves me quaking in fear and - I blame Moslems. If they wanted to

they could exert pressure on the U.S., especially Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. It wil be equally their fault. They are equal to Israel - they both want Iran demolished (or brought to their knees as the author of this article words it).

I have never been so scared and sick.

The Iranian people don't deserve this.

Leaders are fighting leaders on behalf of commercial entrprises.

The sickest kind of inhumanity.

People - porject ahead - if we don't come to OUR KNEES through the final devestation of our country - we can no longer travel in this world. Revenge will be taken on us for all our torture, invasions, pillaging, and plundering - for the exiles, for the cave man existence, for the deaths and missing limbs, organs, minds, careers, family hopes.

This is scary. So pathetically scary. Where is Gore on this? Where is Kucinich? Where is Paul Wellstone? Where are the pastors in this country?

Now we know for sure what Cheney was doing - giving the warnings to so called Muslim partners - Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait.

5. Same article, different year

You can probably find one for 2002,2003,2004,2005 and 2006 as well.

But this time I think it's true!

6. This is propaganda

either Russian or Islamic. You're letting yourself be jerked around. Not to say we're not getting ready to invade Iran. For all I know, Dick Cheney is strapping it on right now, and will lead the first wave of assult forces across the border in the morning, but this story is bogus.
