[Retired] Colonel Gardiner, who has taught military strategy at the National War College [of the United States], says that the [U.S. Navy] carrier deployment and a scheduled Persian Gulf arrival date of October 21 [2006] is “very important evidence” of war planning. He says, “I know that some naval forces have already received ‘prepare to deploy orders’ [PTDOs], which have set the date for being ready to go as October 1 [2006]. Given that it would take about from October 2 to October 21 to get those forces to the [Persian] Gulf region, that looks about like the date” of any possible military action against Iran. (A PTDO means that all crews should be at their stations, and ships and planes should be ready to go, by a certain date—in this case, reportedly, October 1.) Gardiner notes, “You cannot issue a PTDO and then stay ready for very long. It’s a very significant order, and it’s not done as a training exercise.” This point was also made in the Time article.

“I think the plan’s been picked: bomb the nuclear sites in Iran,” says [Colonel] Gardiner. “It’s a terrible idea, it’s against U.S. law and it’s against international law, but I think they’ve decided to do it.” Gardiner says that while the United States has the capability to hit those sites with its cruise missiles, “the Iranians have many more options than we [the United States] do.

It appears as though Mr. Bush is preparing for another war for political gain, but this time the American people are on to him: should anything happen to our ships heading for the Persian gulf, we will reasonably suspect Mr. Bush is behind it. Would Mr. Bush even do the unthinkable and sacrifice his own people in a false flag attack to avoid losing Congress in November? Would he dare sink , for example, the USS Enterprise, with it’s 5000 on board and claim Iran had done it? Would he then declare Martial Law and “disappear” innocent Americans who dare to speak up through the use of the egregious and unconstitutional Military Commissions Act? Are innocent Americans to be horribly tortured and killed in the “detention” camps Haliburton has set up countrywide?
Formerly in America, real statesmen who were deeply concerned with the well being of their people would have roared a resounding “NEVER could this happen in America”! Now, though, since many of America’s lawmakers are corrupt beyond human imagining, addicted to the senseless exercise of brute power, and overtly hostile to the Constitution, the answers to these awful questions are not at all clear.

A major surprise is that nobody has gone to Diebold with a subpoena. Another surprise is that nobody has hacked Diebold’s software to completely disable it and put Diebold out of business. Until an independent, audited agency is established to regulate voting practices on a federal level no election in the USA will be reliable. The biggest surprise will be a Democratic win of any kind in November. Expect Iran to be invaded *after* the election, no matter who wins. Expect to be lied to, cheated, and robbed blind until an actual, functioning government of, by and for the PEOPLE is established in feral America!

Osama whathisname is a yawner for the average USian dolt.

Rove didn’t get where he is by being that dumb.

He got there by manufacturing terrorizing events (most of which we don’t know about because they were executed against individuals who were in his way).

He needs a terrorizing event so the repug Congress and Chimp in Chief can look smart, decisive, and in command. Think of the terrorizing events in Europe and you’ll get a clue.

And I think I’ll stop there – the CIA is catching every word of this conversation. Or at least I’m terrorized enough already to think so.

They’ve got everything in place for alla that and more…..
