Exclusive: First frank talk of potential war on Iran from top US soldier
DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s military sources reported Friday that the USS Harry S. Truman Strike Group has just taken up position in Persian Gulf waters. It consists of 12 warships led by the giant LSD-41 class USS Whidby Island landing craft, submarines and eight assault squadrons. The legend on their banner is: Give ‘em Hell.
Another nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, will soon set out for the region from the South China Sea, along with two more US naval strike forces: the USS Kitty Hawk and the USS Nimitz attended by strike groups.
Adm. Mullen went on to say: "I have no expectations that we're going to get into a conflict with Iran in the immediate future." Our sources ask: what time scale is indicated by the indefinite “immediate future” - the 8 months remaining to the Bush presidency or thereafter?
Sooner or later the U.S. is going to war against Iran. It is rather obvious that diplomacy will not work. Ahmadinejad is hoping for worldwide chaos to encourage the coming of his 12th Imam al Mahdi - and I think he's going to get it. (Israel's 60th anniversary perhaps?? May 14th?)

did you see the week of interviews w/ rosenberg on glenn beck? do you get cnn headline news in can?
Hi Legal,
Ya, I saw a couple of the episodes of Glenn Beck. We do get CNN up here - actually we get all the major U.S. networks, and I was in Montana this week for a quick trip.
I think Joel has got the transcripts on his blog so I'll probably go check that out. Was there anything extraordinary that came out of the interviews? (I think I've read enough of Joel Rosenberg to know where he's coming from, but was anything new said on Glenn Beck?)
