it's not hard to keep up to date with all the escalation happening in the East, even if the media isn't covering it, with the Internet.

if you do not know why this situation is getting hairy, here's a few points...


-The Senate is processing a resolution (#580) which calls for a number of sanctions on Iran and urges the president to blockade Iran for the purpose of preventing that country from receiving any shipments of refined petroleum. Because of its limited refining capacity, Iran must import 40% of the oil it consumes. The situation echoes memories of the U.S. blockade of Japan over 67 years ago which prevented that country from receiving the oil it needed and which is now considered to have been a factor in Japan's decision to attack Pearl Harbor.

-49 Senators have signed on as co-sponsors of Resolution 580.

-The House of Representatives is processing a resolution (#362) similar to the Senate's, but one that also urges the president to set up a blockade to inspect all people and items entering or leaving Iran and prohibiting Iranian officials from traveling outside the country except for the purpose of nuclear negotiations. In a bulletin published last month, Ron Paul described it as a "virtual war resolution."

-261 Congressmen have signed on as co-sponsors of Resolution 362.

-Three weeks ago, major elements of the U.S. Navy and several other nations including the United Kingdom and France, concluded a naval exercise in the Atlantic, called Brimstone, and described as a dress rehearsal for a blockade of Iran.

-Since then, the following naval assets have been reported to be heading for the Persian Gulf and the other waters abutting Iran:

-the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, with French Naval Rafale fighter jets on board, and her battle group,

-the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and her battle group,

-the USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship,

-the United Kingdom's aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal and her battle group,

-and the French nuclear attack submarine Amethyste along with other French ships.

-This armada is joining up with the existing elements of the Fifth Fleet already in the Gulf and its vicinity, which include:

-the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and her battle group,

-the USS Peleliu and her battle group,

-at least one nuclear attack submarine and a variety of other U.S. ships.

-It has been widely reported in the foreign press that this is the largest naval buildup in the Gulf area since the inception of the war in Iraq.

-Russia recently conducted a naval exercise in the Mediterranean involving at least 11 warships, an unknown number of submarines, the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsoy and the heavy missile cruiser, Moskva, described as the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet. The exercise was conducted out of and supplied by the Russian facilities at the Syrian port of Tartous.

Russia declares that if we aid georgia in war... then war is declared on the US..
with georgia's will to be part of NATO and western relations, it is only inevitable that we will help them...
inevitable that war will be declared!

anyways that was my common logic, i also suppose that ukraine could be next in the chain of events

TELL ME WHAT YOU T HINK!

but the MAIN reason of this post is to elaborate on the function as to WHY THE MEDIA HAS BEEN IGNORING ALL THIS!

could it be that bush is keeping it secret as possible until push comes to shove where he can present it on television finally with such new as to scare americans so much they line up to give up the rest of their rights? planes flying into buildings is old news , now bush needs something bigger!

so, what is it!?

and if there isn't anything like that coming, why isn't the media adequately covering this HUGE NEWS!

This is a confusing situation. Pres. Bush was all chummy with Pres. Putin at the Olympic Games while this was going on. (That is not a typo, since president was the highest office, Mr Putin retains the title.)
On Iran, if things are getting so hairy, why is Pres. Bush sending envoys there to start talks for diplomatic relations?
It does seem like the US is getting ready for war, but the actions prove something else is going on. Russia and Iran want something, and we want the oil. There is some hidden dealmaking going on between the three countries, and it would be interesting to find out what.

well, russia is pretty much a mystery, it seems their only function is to cause cold wars and instigate unnatural dislike between themselves and anyone they engage with

iran wants nukes though, they've been bringing uranium into their country traing to start a "nuclear power plant program" ( yeah right! ) they've had their eyes on isreal ... and EVERYONE else in that region since the beginning of time... the people of this side of the world are arrogant and unruly in nature - that is my opinion. anyways they are trying to pass a bill right now to blockade iran ( not let anyone in or out without being checked, not letting any officials out unless it is to talk about nuclear negotiations ) i also read a story that the US is getting ready to strike iran in it's major military, nuke founding and political institutions ... but i'm not sure of the quality of this information - if anyone has heard that little bit i'd like to hear what your opinion on it is
