Any time such an attack is projected for the future I know it will not happen. I will believe it when the news reader says “Iran Attacked Four Hours Ago!”

So with Obama in the White House,are we going to be backing the Iranians?

It wouldn't suprise me. I just wonder that if events transpire in the Middle East the way your article says, will members of my tribe finally give someone such as Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman 40% of the vote in the Presidential election as opposed to the measily 20%+ of the vote Republicans usually get when my co religionists vote every four years./sarc

The Messiah's probable backing of Achmadinijad could cut slightly into the Jewish vote for Democrats in 2012 /sarc again

If the Jews are the Democrat party at prayer, the feminists are the Democratic Party in drag.

FWIW, this can also be read as a preemptive Iranian effort to put the blame on Israel when Iran attacks Israel in September. I’m not saying it is, or that that’s what they plan to do, but it does admit to that interpretation.

Omoslem will never betray his fellow imams (in Iran).

He will threaten Israel to back off, and then he’ll hit the roof when they ignore him.

Another rough day for the Marxist moslem Halfrican.

That is exactly what I was inferring with the word protection.

I’m remembering that the current regime practices the strategies of the Marxists: MISDIRECTION.

Off the coast of Tripoli?

Boots on the ground in Libya?

With this gang you must ALWAYS watch the OTHER hand!

The were in the Red Sea and the MOUTH of the Persian Gulf. They didn't approach the Strait of Hormuz what I am aware of.

And, Saddam could not hit one with anything he had. Iran COULD hit a US Carrier with high-speed cruise missiles from shore.

We will not initiate an attack with Carriers in the Gulf and ESPECIALLY if north of the Strait of Hormuz.

Israel-Iran War in September?

Well now, perhaps this will explain why Egypt, Libya and Syria, traditional enemies of Israel and potential Iran allies have been destabilized. Interesting, very interesting.

If Wenzel is incorrect, readers will forget. If he’s correct, he’ll trumpet that for years. ;-) But the chances of a war of great intensity will go up more each year now with China still pushing for control of more ocean routes, N. Korea and Iran continuing to develop nuclear weapons together, Iran mounting missiles in Venezuela, Russia threatening to seize the Arctic and position security for oil, and so on.

Eventually, with our economy having a long way down, it’s probably going to get really internationally ugly. Prepare yourselves and your families. Avoid buying anything unnecessary. Become more self-sufficient each month. Learn to manufacture something useful as a hobby for now.

Note: this topic is from July. Re-ping what I sow earnestly pinged before.
Thanks again blam.
I have never seen [Economist Nouriel] Roubini tweeting on foreign affairs before, he is unlikely to be tweeting because he finds the story interesting. The story likely falls in line with what he is hearing from his very in the know network. Israel-Iran war in September, mark your calendar.
