U.S. Navy sends third carrier to 5th fleet region - Yahoo! News UK: "The U.S. navy has sent a third aircraft carrier to its Fifth Fleet area of operations, which includes Gulf waters close to Iran, the navy said on Tuesday.
'Enterprise (aircraft carrier) provides navy power to counter the assertive, disruptive and coercive behaviour of some countries, as well as support our soldiers and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan,' a U.S. Navy statement said."
I read about this along time ago, but they must be just arriving. I have also heard that a fourth carrier group is going, but the story seemed a bit sketchy. "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran"

US envoy: North ready to shut reactor - Yahoo! News
US envoy: North ready to shut reactor - Yahoo! News: "SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea is showing that it is ready to shut down its nuclear reactor, the top U.S. negotiator said Friday, adding to optimism that the communist government is intent on fulfilling its disarmament pledge."
They just don't want the nukes flying in their direction. We have Iran on our hit list, and it will very likely happen, especially if Cheney has his way...

US, Israel finalise Iran strike plan | Press Esc
US, Israel finalise Iran strike plan | Press Esc: "Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert visited Washington yesterday and met with US President George W. Bush to finalise plans for a joint US-Israel strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
President Bush hinted that actions against Iran will form the core of their discussion.
'I'm sure that we will find some time, also, to discuss other measures, such as the danger of Iran and the threats that come from the President of Iran, who talks time and again about the liquidation of the state of Israel, something that is totally intolerable and unacceptable,' he said. 'And we have to continue the measures taken in order to stop the Iranian efforts to establish unconventional weapons.'"
The two "satans" meet behind locked doors to discuss global domination. I am sure we will blow Iran off the face of the planet with nukes, like the British feared we would do in Afghanistan. Look out Syria...

The Raw Story | Britain feared US would 'nuke' Afghanistan: ex-diplomat
The Raw Story | Britain feared US would 'nuke' Afghanistan: ex-diplomat: "Britain joined the United States' invasion to oust the Taliban in 2001 because it feared America would 'nuke the shit' out of Afghanistan, the former British ambassador to Washington reportedly told a television documentary to be screened Saturday.
In comments printed in advance in the Daily Mirror tabloid on Monday, Christopher Meyer said that fear explained why Prime Minister Tony Blair chose to stand with US President George W. Bush in his decision to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks -- to temper his aggressive battle plans."
This is funny, Britain was just there to be our conscience. Well, they did a really lousy job... I would not have put it past this administration to nuke the entire country over Bin Laden.

China's changing nuclear posture | Spero News
China's changing nuclear posture | Spero News: "But as the latest report from the US Army War College reveals, the Chinese political and military leadership is gradually revising its nuclear posture and even preparing for the possibility of using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive counter attack should the need arise."
This is quite troubling, seeing as we are on increasingly shaky ground with Red China.

Putin’s Censored Press Conference: The meeting you weren’t supposed to see
Putin’s Censored Press Conference: The meeting you weren’t supposed to see : "On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an hour and a half-long press conference which was attended by many members of the world media. The contents of that meeting---in which Putin answered all questions concerning nuclear proliferation, human rights, Kosovo, democracy and the present confrontation with the United States over missile defense in Europe---have been completely censored by the press. Apart from one brief excerpt which appeared in a Washington Post editorial, (and which was used to criticize Putin) the press conference has been scrubbed from the public record. It never happened."
Perhaps it was not intentional censorship. After all, what is happening with Paris Hilton and all the other celebs is so much more important than discussing a possible arms race, nuclear weapons, and the imperialism of the United States.

globeandmail.com: Putin threatens to target Europe
globeandmail.com: Putin threatens to target Europe: "MOSCOW — In a threat not uttered since the Cold War, Vladimir Putin said that Russia intends to aim its missile systems - potentially nuclear weapons - at targets in Europe in retaliation for the U.S. decision to establish antimissile bases there.
During a lengthy dinner, Russia's President defended his semi-authoritarian style and insisted he is the world's only true democrat. In an interview with The Globe and Mail and a small circle of other journalists, he stressed that his country is not moving away from a market economy, refused to consider extraditing a former KGB agent charged with poisoning a dissident in London, and lashed out repeatedly at the United States and NATO for operating in countries previously within Russia's sphere of influence."
Here we go again. Bush has transformed Russia from a friend to an enemy because he is meddling in places he should not. I believe the question now is not if we get hit by a nuclear device from a country we are angering, but when.

Putin: U.S. has triggered new arms race - Yahoo! News
Putin: U.S. has triggered new arms race - Yahoo! News: "MOSCOW - President
Vladimir Putin said Thursday that tests of new Russian missiles were a response to the planned deployment of U.S. missile defense installations and other forces in Europe, suggesting Washington has triggered a new arms race.
In a clear reference to the United States, he harshly criticized 'imperialism' in global affairs and warned that Russia will strengthen its military potential to maintain a global strategic balance."
We have both Russia and China taking steps to push back against our imperialistic foreign policy. World War III is fully underway in the middle east. When will we learn not to meddle in the affairs of other countries? We may be the only superpower left in the world, but that will not help if the rest of the world decides they have had enough of the United States.
