The US Navy has gone all quiet and vague about where their carriers are. It pisses me off. You can't hide an aircraft carrier from satellites . The Iranians have satellites . Even if they didn't, the Russians would tell them where the carriers are. So the only people who don't know are, well me. And I have a pretty good idea. So why go to the trouble?
Remember about 2 years ago the Iranian spy satellites was one of the red lines for Israel. They were really going to do something before the Iranians had their satellite. But they didn't. There was another red line over advanced Russian SAM systems that may or may not have been on their way to Iran. The Russians seem to have misplaced the SAMs and just never got around to delivering them. But that was then. After all the White House pouting and spitting over Georgia, the Russians can now do as they please in the Middle East. I think Putin's boys may have just found those SAMs in a warehouse somewhere, and will now ship them to Tehran. So the price for an attack on Iran just went up a few notches. If the on-again, off-again war was on, it's probably now off. So why bother being coy about the carriers?
Anyway, I said in the last post that if the US were of a mind to proceed, we would have a Persian Gulf of Tonkin incident around the 25th. That would coincide nicely with a new moon at the end of the month. After all the blustering and bullshit they'll either do it by the end of August, or we can all stop pretending its "on the table" as they like to say over and over.
By the end of October, adult supervision will be at hand and there won't be any more silly war talk from people in Washington who should know better.
