US Naval Update: CVN 65 Enterprise Abandons Libya, Reinforces CVN 70 Vinson In Straits Of Hormuz
Wonder why the administration made such a stink of reducing the US airborne presence around Libya, and handing it off to France, Italy, Canada and Turkey? Here's the answer: the CVN65 Enterprise which last week was within striking distance of Libya, has quietly left the Red Sea and is now virtually swimming in the wake of CVN 70 Vinson in the Strait of Hormuz. Because obviously whatever is about to happen in the Persian Gulf will need not one but two aircraft carrier formations. And meanwhile in Japan the Washington is doing all it can to put radiation free miles between itself and Fukushima, even as the Essex, chock full of marines is sitting on the coast waiting for orders.

Don't you love how completely unprepared this Administration is for the collapse of the old order?
Americans, primarily the "independent voter"-those ****ers- felt so good on the morning after they elected dumb-shit Obama.
Now it's time to pay up, dickheads.

I think everything is going pretty much as planned.

Speaking of the Persian Gulf, a blockbuster from Michael S. Rozeff today details the policy actions taken for U.S. Empire to nail down Persian Gulf oil.
“ The visible foreign results of this policy, so far, include the Gulf War of 1990, the subsequent sanctions on Iraq, the U.S. actions during the Iran-Iraq War, the U.S. attack and war on Iraq (2003-present), the U.S. sanctions against Iran, and now the U.S. war in Libya. This is not to say that these actions have been well thought out or have succeeded in their aims with respect to the government’s prime objective. In fact, blunders dominate the list.
“The domestic results of this policy, so far, include such items as the Patriot Act, curtailment of various freedoms and rights, the Transportation Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, travel restrictions, financial restrictions, militarization of police forces, and vast invasions of privacy. Other results include the encouragement of terrorism, the war on terror, use of torture, abductions, and holding prisoners incommunicado for indefinite terms.”
President Carter, January 23, 1980: "Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force." …
“Simply being American doesn’t elevate one’s claim to murder above the claim of a non-American, such as a Palestinian who blows himself up and kills Israelis. What we may call terrorist acts are, in the eyes of bin Laden and other terrorists, worth the price paid, including the suicides of many terrorists. People committing suicide in terrorist acts are soldiers in the eyes of those fighting for their survival. In their eyes, the Americans are the terrorists. Indeed, a fair evaluation of the American actions is that the Americans are just as much terrorists as the terrorists they condemn. American leaders cannot logically invoke a "criticality" or ‘security’ rationale while condemning the people they are killing who have their own critical ‘needs.’
“Nearly everyone will disagree with what I’ve just written. How can this man equate brave American soldiers with terrorists? I don’t have to do the equating. Our own leaders make it clear. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright disagreed with this analysis. Her belief has also been expressed on numerous occasions by other high American officials, by neoconservatives, by President after President, and by commentators. It is a belief that has seeped into the public discourse. She said
'If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.’ …
“It is not hyperbole to use the term 'murder' within this analysis of western action and to describe the actual killings and deaths that Americans and other nations have brought about as murders. Madeleine Albright was asked by Leslie Stahl regarding the U.S. sanctions on Iraq
'We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?’
“Albright replied
'I think this is a very hard choice, but the price – we think the price is worth it.’
“Here we have one of the highest American officials admitting to murders of innocents far in excess of any terrorist activities because she thinks it was worth it. If consciously bringing about the deaths of 500,000 children is not murder, what is? If this is not terrorism, what is?”

I respect you J.R. Get ready for JPY (TOP POP OFF)

I hope Madeleine Albright is going to find a price for her deeds is very high indeed.

So, is the U.S. Military....serving America, keeping it 'free', 'safe', or it it now just a naked tool for the corportists?

With the troops occupied it will be much easier to justify bringing in foriegn troops when marshall law is declared over here.
Martial law.
Thank you, serious brain fart on my part.
PAY ATTENTION ... you with the sack-head.
Marshal - a law enforcement officer, US or State.
Martial - A state of law enforcement where a Constitution is set aside in favor of military rule, sometimes enforced by FOREIGN troops. The suspension of ordinary law.
Using the former in place of the latter certainly serves to inform others of the author's abject ignorance. Perhaps you need to print this and post it in your bedroom at Mom's.
we have to beat back the rebels, no wait, we have to enforce the no fly zone by bombing the palace, no wait, we have to attack the rebels who are headed by al qaida, no wait we have to help the rebels until they take power and then conduct a war against al qaida, to purify it, no wait, we need to get the nukes out of pakistan, or stop the nukes from happening in iran, no we need to appoint more bush people to the cabinet, but not cheney, wait, cheney might be okay, if biden decides to run on his own ticket, we still have the best military power in the world. even if we had to relieve the captain of the enterprise, i am sure that our brave men and women are ready to fight and die fo the ideal of jeffersonian democracy in the middle east, just as they fought and died in vietnam, wait, the chinese are our number one trading partner. we can't afford to offend them.
It's Empire rot...gone awry!

I guarantee that this MENA thing will totally blow over within a few months and guys like Gerald Celente will be made to look like a fool. TPTB will guarantee it, the Plutocrats have a habit of making the perma-gloomer-screechers look kind of dumb after awhile.
Ah c'mon. lighten up. swing from the bars a little. have a cocktail. have fun with it.

Your noun-verb agreement is in arrears.
"...a guy like GC will be made to look like a fool," would be OK
"...guys like GC will be made to look like fools," would also pass muster.
I like you language guys. How's this:

Please provide concrete evidence which supports your assertion. And remember -- grammar counts!
Hey!!! whoah assertion???? It was a grammar test. Not a history test!!
Why? You ready to prove Mr. Celente correct? Shew us the unto the goods baby.

I made no claim but merely asked you to substantiate your own.
Not waiting (for any intelligent response)...
Be Well. WB-7 that cloth is going to excite you.
Maybe there's a race to $200/bbl oil to cover some prescient positions before the whole whore house is shut down or just catches fire. A carrier group would certainly be a closer on that deal.

Appropriately, the carrier is not named the CVN65 Free Market Enterprise.
SAUDI, SAUDI!
Enterprise isn't needed for Libya; de Gaulle is there
Correct, and the French are taking the lead with the pummelling of k-daffy. But why is the Enterprise headed for the Persian Gulf? Why do we need two carrier groups? I hate shitty intel man. I really hate it.
Obama will announce on Monday the rescue of the Canada from anarchy. Imagine a country with no govt and a bit of oil. They need saving.
I'm against the next war. And the one after it.
Does that mean that the Enterprise actually crossed the Suez canal ? Shock & horror... :)
More seriously this would have been quite obvious for anyone watching.

Malik told US Osama could be in Iran, Saudi Arabia or Yemen
Sunday, March 27, 2011
By: Irfan Bukhari | Published: March 25, 2011ISLAMABAD - Apart from telling them that Afghan police were fighting alongside terrorists in Pakistan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik also told the Americans in September 2009 that Osama Bin Laden could be in Iran, Saudi Arabia or Yemen.
This was revealed by a WikiLeaks’ released diplomatic cable sent by the then US ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson on September, 10, 2009 to Washington. Rehman Malik complained about the involvement of Afghanistan, India and Iran in terrorist activities in Pakistan in his meeting with US diplomats including Adam Smith (D-WA), Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and Bobby Bright (D-AL) held on September 7, 2009.
“Malik told the CODEL that Indians are training Baloch separatists and claimed that Pakistan has arrested Afghan police fighting alongside terrorists, but chose not to make this public. Iran, he said, is supplying arms and providing funds to Pakistan’s Shia extremists,” says the diplomatic memo.
The diplomatic cable reveals that according to Rehman Malik, Osama Bin Laden could be in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Yemen or might be dead. “Representative Giffords asked Malik whether he had information about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden. Malik responded that he “had no clue,” but added that he did not believe that Bin Laden is in the area.
Comrade President Obama is a great military strategist. Obama's extensive military training involved the study of Chicagoland gangster street fighting. He knows the secret hand signals/signs and other methods of gang recognition. Economic and social justice for all, comrades!
And don't discount this is causing mayhem in the Dem party and White House. Even powerful persons such as Donald Trump are going public.....
Getting mainstream US media to challenge Obama
http://www.international.to/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=908:getting-mainstream-us-media-to-challenge-obama&catid=36:news&Itemid=74
Sunday, 27 March 2011 17:37 Robert C. Laity 1 Comments US citizens and advocates for the truth about Barack Obama, led by Robert C Laity have been in daily contact with such folks as Farah and Hannity, Fox News,Topix, Buffalo News, BBC, NY Times and anyone else who would listen. It may not have been the case that our Main Stream media was silent out of Fear. It may have been that they were influenced by Money and Power. Barack Obama is a New World Order advocate and the World is a big place. Obama’s agenda along with others like George H.W. Bush and Son is the ushering in of this New World Order. How many people in high places were offered a piece of that huge pie? The Main Stream media is now being beset upon by insurmountable pressure from the people at the grassroots level. at this point in time. As Washington Times writer Jeff Kuhner, recently said the issue is growing and it is not going away. http://www.youtube/watch?v=Z4lUIOEssYs The U.S. Main Stream Media folks who sat on their hands for months remaining silent,is now,due to this public pressure attempting to “Save face”,to save their hides from being named as accomplices to Obama’s fraud and treason, trying to now proffer some semblance of a reasonable explanation why they did not speak out on this major issue until now. The U.S. Main Stream Media,Judges,Legislators,the Major political party bosses. They are all subject to being called misprisioners of felonious fraud and treason. My God, Nancy Pelosi,our ex-Speaker of the House fraudulently signed off on Obama’s constitutional qualifications to be President. http://americangrandjury.org/public/ Pelosi also started a ruckus in Congress at the precise point at which past Vice-President Cheney was required to ask for Objections to the Electoral College tally. The question “Are there any objections” was not asked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcGt8hQZzg4 If there is no requirement to prove that one is an NBC by actually producing a Birth Certificate,no force of Law, then, I ask you, how was John McCain “required” to show his BC and Obama not made to do so. I say this was play acting by the Congress. The Resolution declaring McCain an Natural-Born Citizen is without legal force and was declared under color of Law. Indeed, as Judy Muthoni commented in the Kenyan Daily Nation on the Day Obama literally “Took” the office of “President of the United States”, the ruling elite wins either way, no matter who wins. Obama and McCain are equally disqualified. The two major candidates were not then,and are not now, eligible to be President. Military bases are not considered US Soil. The issue of who is a Natural-Born Citizen is so simple even I understand it. It is a very simple truth. Is the Congress and the Media of the impression that the American people are so gullible and ignorant that they don’t understand the issue? Do they really think that the American People do not realize that Obama is a fraud? The definition of a Natural-Born Citizen is incorporated by reference in the US Constitutiion at Article 1,Sec.8. The Congress has the power to define and punish offenses of the “Law of Nations”,a treatise on the understanding of the application of Natural Law as it affects the whole of the Nations of the Earth., that certain ideas and concepts,such as the rights inherent to mankind, are naturally determined. The Law of Nations was ubiquitously used in the Courts of both the United States of America and Britain in the 18th Century. The Law of Nations defines a Natural Born Citizen as one born in a country of citizen parents. That is “parents” with an “s”.,both Parents. The concept “Of the Blood” or Jus Sanguinis means the ancestral bloodline of a person. If both Parents are American Citizens,their child is of 100% U.S. Jus Sanguinis. If one parent is a foreigner, a Child born to the couple has only 50% U.S. Jus Sanguinis., the Child has 50% Jus Sanguinis of the foreign nation. The Concept “Of the Soil” or Jus Soli means the actual country in which one is born. A Child born in the U.S. has 100% U.S Jus Soli. However, if that Child’s Parents,both of them, are not American than that child, although he/she may have been born in the U.S. does not have 100% U.S. Jus Sanguinis as required by the US Constitution to be President and Vice-President. Both parents must be citizens of a Country for their “Posterity”, born in said country, to be considered Natural-born citizens of said country. Children born of foreigners in a country are not “Natural-Born Citizens” of said country. There are only two cases,two positions in the U.S.Government that absolutely mandates that the highest standard of Citizenship be met, ”Natural-Born Citizen”. Those are the Office of the Presidency of the United States and the Vice-President of the United States who is in line to attain to that office if necessary. Obama patently does not meet that requirement and it does not take a Rocket Scientist to see that “very simple truth”. Robert C. LaityObama is defending his Nobel Peace Prize as he prepares for the next battle. www.TheAngryGrapes.Com

The most potent enemy any government faces is its own people as the revolts in the Maghreb and the Levant show. Iran and Saudi Arabia face growing internal unrest. Will these governments conclude that a war against a foreign enemy will defuse civil disobedience? It's an enormous risk.
As ruinous as war between Iran and Saudi Arabia could be for the American economy, and one can only imagine the political contortions if Israel is involved, it is unlikely to cause WWIII. Such a war will probably not take the alert level below DEFCON 3 as Israel and the U. S. are the only acknowledged nuclear powers.
A war between India and Pakistan, however, would quickly place the U.S. at DEFCON 2. Not just because India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, but because Pakistan is a nuclear power because of China's support and India is a nuclear power because of Russia's support. Four nuclear powers (the U. S. in Afghanistan is the fifth) converge on the nexus of Kashmir, a region claimed by India and Pakistan. This is the likely fuse for WWIII. It is our real reason for USFOR-A.

Rusty,that you for sharing that Mark Twain quote. That is church.
To all of the Palestinian bashers on here I recommend you study the history books. Israel did not exist until 1948 when it was declared under the Balfour treaty. How can it be right that a load of European jews descend on the rightful home of the Palestinians and then proceed to engage in the most overt apartheid ever seen to man kind?
This site is obviously filled with zionist shills, or failing that, bankers who credit their existence to the zionist ogres of modern day banking, or should I say casinos. I deplore casualties on either side of the conflict but does anyone seriously expect the Palestinians to lie down and take there beating from the US backed Israelis. The aforementioned are backed by the US to the tune of $300 billion a year, how much do the Palestinians receive?
The US has been hijacked by the zionists who use the US war machine to protect their interests in the middle east, the plan is to create a bigger Israel and this involves turning the middle east into a blood bath, creating fake revolutions and then inserting US shills in the place of fallen leaders, a la Egypt. This whole Libya thing is the next step, gaining control of sweet crude, next step Syria, can you see how the dominos fall around the central focal point, Israel?At this very moment US destroyers are sailing up the Suez canal to help out with the dealing with the peaceful protestors in Bahrain, you see peaceful protest is only tolerated in Libya where these evil fucks have something to gain, we must not forget that Bahrain is home to the US fifth fleet, a key strategic base for the US/zionist/Israeli war machine.
So we march on to world war three, I can tell you the orchestrators of this war are playing us like a violin, just like they did the previous two.
