the USS Eisenhower Carrier Battle Group doesn't make for a 'massive' build-up for war with Iran

As far as I know, nobody has made any such suggestion, unless you count certain people in this group, even if the US decided to invade, don't you think that they will at least wait until after the mid-term election? A sensible general will wait for the dust storms rains to finish. January is a better time to invade. Andrew Swallow They're not going to invade, they're going to launch a quick air assault on what they believe to be the Iranian nuclear facilities, and probably they will throw in a few other strategic targets just because the are in the area. When I say "they" I mean Israel and the United States. This is nothing more than a couple of bored, stupid delinquents who decide to thrust a stick into a hornet's nest to see what happens. If we chuck so much as *one* missile at Iran their leadership will use it as an excuse to round up all the opposition politicians, students and intellectuals into prison as spies and collaborators. This will set back liberalization by years. Iran *is* a working democracy, at least by mid-eastern standards. The problem is that their constitution gives a bunch of unelected mullahs veto power over decisions that the President makes. Domestic political process, not bombing, is the way to bring change to Iran. Who gives a **** "about domestic progress"? WTF are you talking about? We're talking about nuking their sites to stop a terrorist state getting the bomb and causing a 9/11 with nukes! Iran as a democracy? Yeah that's why the guardian council screens out half the candidates because they don't fit whatever Islamic critera they deem appropriate. Wake up! |

They also vet candidates. Which makes calling Iran a "democracy" something of a farce. (No pun intended.) -- Nothing so illuminates the end as the means. And the means is frequently the real end. |

Wabbit twacks. Going to be one neat trick, since Lincoln is currently going thru an overhaul at Bremerton: end NNS060831-12. USS Abraham Lincoln Arrives at NBK for Overhaul By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Bruce McVicar, Northwest Region Fleet Public Affairs BREMERTON, Wash. (NNS) -- USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) arrived at Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) in Bremerton from Naval Station Everett for a scheduled six-month maintenance period at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Aug. 29. ... end It's done with a paint brush. Bad memory but it is the Enterprise that is on station to be releived by Eisenhower. W/ Enterprise due back at Norfolk on or around 3 November (having deployed 3 May) ... So it's a quick transfer of information or personnel and return. Past practice is for a number of announcements when one carrier strike group relieves another -- one's VERY happy to be heading home ... |

Just nuke their sites now or pay the price for a nuclear-armed terrorist state in the future. Are YOUR balls big enough to deal with the threat, or do you advocate appeasement? My worthless opinion: it will happen sooner or later. Look at what happened to the attempts to keep nuclear secrets in the West. It does not work. And when a more potent or congruent weapon makes an appearance, that will be used too. So it is more important to plan how to deal with a situation, rather than to aim to destroy some media-visible "site" in a foreign country. Any US attack is just a chance for that many more people to hate it. And you might say, so what? And in that case, you have no right to complain about suicide bombers, assassinations, kidnappings, and the way people do business in other parts of the world. I agree that force is a part of the whole flow of human endeavour, but so are calls for reason - it is no doubt quite a good thing for the current economic systems when war and destruction flare up, but we could also try something else instead.

Here's how the United States can try something new -- just stop invading, attacking, and bombing other countries. Wait until they invade the USA, or at least talk about invading the USA, before you blow them to hell, kill a hundred thousand of their people, and depose the government. A lot fewer people will hate Americans, if you just stop killing their families. |

Mike Weeks has other questions to answer which he has previuosly dodged
on the USS Liberty murders.... Regrettably, matters more important than him now are taking up the lion's share of my free time---trashing fraud filed in the war crimes complaint by the wacko subset of the Liberty Survivors His use of profanity, therefore, would better be applied to himself... wrote: wrote: mikey... 1)stop the profanity;to wit, use of the word ,"****head"...you're acting with less class than what the good lord originally intended. 2)is that Salvador Astucia really an "antisemite"?... what's wrong with ****head? |
