My reply to Legal Sodium took me a while to type up in a recent discussion, so I feel the need to post it here (all that work, whew!) ...

Ya I hear ya about the globalresearch.ca website. They are 'left-leaning' to say the least. But some things don't add up:

>the retraction in that story was that "the Bush administration has not decided to carry out a naval surge directed against Iran immediately following the conduct of the North Atlantic War Games"... there's still time before the Nov. 4th US election to form a naval blockade in the Persian Gulf, if that's in fact, in the works.

>Sending 'humanitarian' aid to Georgia aboard the destroyer USS McFaul is just a bit... "totally crazy" since it feeds Russian speculation that the US is re-arming the Georgians for the next conflict.

>From almost all reports, the Georgian conflict was started by Georgia, and Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili doesn't even go to the bathroom without asking Washington for permission. So who really pulled the trigger?

>Defense Secretary Robert Gates was put in charge of the 'humanitarian mission' to Georgia(?).

>The statement by Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili was interesting. He blames the west for failing to respond to the crisis. Somehow he expected a response. What gave him that idea?
Saakashvili is comparing the current conflict to Vietnam and he is saying the U.S. is also to blame. According to the AP:
"I feel that they are partly to blame," he said today, pointing a shaking finger at Secretary Rice. "Not only those who commit atrocities are responsible ... but so are those who fail to react", he said. Sounds like he was told to act and was betrayed, to me.

>The USS Mount Whitney is reportedly headed next into the Black Sea to provide "humanitarian aid", although permission from Turkey is not forthcoming. The USS Mount Whitney? The USS Mount Whitney is the 6th fleet flagship and the world's most advanced command and control ship. The Mount Whitney can receive and transmit huge amounts of secure data from any point on earth and provide intelligence and operational support as needed. Nice potential vantage point of Israel and Iran from the Black Sea, I figure.

>The Dutch article I mentioned in my last post is a bit curious. There's been rumors of an Iran war for months/years but the situation in the Middle East, I feel, is right at its flashpoint.

>The US won't blow Persia/Iran into oblivion to start things off, because Persia is supposed to instigate and make a move against Israel according to Ezekiel 38 & 39. How far away are we from that once military pressure is put on Ahmadinejad?
