Its been all over the news, but Iran seized 15 British sailors and marines who were suppossedly conducting "routine boarding operations" in Iraqi waters. These sailors and marines were blindfolded, and paraded on Iran's television network.
I have one simple question. With as many military personnel and Navy ships we have in the sea's off of Iraq, why didn't the Brits just call in for back-up, and blow the crap out of the Iranian vessels. That's what I would have done. Its as simple as that, game over!
Maybe its not that simple. Maybe we want an excuse to begin military operations against Iran's nuclear facilities. I don't think there is any maybe about it. After all, you do need a good excuse.
Don't you find it odd that oil began to climb just a few short weeks ago? Always remember to follow the money.
Heck, look at what has happened in Afghanistan. Prior to the invasion of Afghanistan, oil giant, UNOCAL, had plans to build an oil and gas pipeline on Afghan soil. When the Taliban objected, bombs began to fly with the excuse that we were going after Bin Laden and the terrorists.
After the US invasion, Hamid Karzai, who had been on UNOCAL’s payroll, with appointed prime minister. Remember, it's all about money!
Oh, one more thing. We don't hear a lot about what is happening with all of that Iraqi oil. You can bet that US oil companies are in control of those operations. The US ambassador to Iraq is a guy named Zalmay Khalilzad. Oddly, Mr Khalilzad had also been on Unocal's payroll.
Whoever said, "money never sleeps" is right!
By now, you have also noticed the "freak show" talking place in the race for the White House in 2008.
If any of these clowns are elected, we are in sad shape. Remember, like a stock, if the media is in love with them, there is something wrong.
