Media Blackout: The Armada In The Gulf / Something planned for Iran?
Media Blackout: The Armada In The Gulf

The most important news for the month of August was the fact that President
Bush has quietly sent the largest armada into the Persian Gulf since the Iraq war began in 2003, when there were six carrier groups. This is a huge number of ships to be concentrated in one location in peacetime. This story has been completely ignored by the news media all over the West.

1. I think this is important to move to the top of Palin. If they try something
stupid.. we could just have our elections cancelled.. or some kind of Martial Law installed. Shoot, these hurricanes are enough for asshat to assume a Martial Law situation...

2. Customs official: Iran responsible for 9/11
A Holiday in Iran:
When Michelle May, an avid traveler, returned to New York's John F. Kennedy
airport after a seven-week trip to Iran this summer, she says she was closely questioned and her luggage
searched after officials read on her customs card that she had been to the
Islamic Republic. When May asked why she was being subjected to such scrutiny, a customs agent said, 'They were the ones who attacked us.'

6. Peleliu is not an aircraft carrier.
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 09:52 PM by Angleae
She is an amphibious assault ship. In addition, Lincoln has been there since march for a 7 month deploment and is due to be relived by either Roosevelt or Reagan. In addition, I haven't heard of any extra deployments of USAF assets. We go through this every 6-7 months, it's getting old.
