Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran:



http://europebusines.blogspot.com/20...-for-iran.html

The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not
only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may
oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps
Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation
of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation
since the Cuban Missile Crisis.


Doubtful.....China is busy hosting the Olympics and Russia decided to
invade Georgia.....


"The crisis began spiralling when **Georgian forces** launched a
surprise attack on Thursday night to regain control of South Ossetia,
which has had de facto independence since the end of a civil war in
1992." (BBC)

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili must have 'thought' Ossetia has
WMD's.
