Aircraft Carrier CVN-77 Parks Next Door To Syria Just As US Urges Americans To Leave Country "Immediately"
Yesterday we reported that the Arab League (with European and US support) are preparing to institute a no fly zone over Syria. Today, we get an escalation which confirms we may be on the edge. Just out from CBS: "The U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens in Syria to depart "immediately," and Turkey's foreign ministry urged Turkish pilgrims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia to avoid traveling through Syria." But probably the most damning evidence that the "western world" is about to do the unthinkable and invade Syria, and in the process force Iran to retaliate, is the weekly naval update from Stratfor, which always has some very interesting if always controversial view on geopolitics, where we find that for the first time in many months, CVN 77 George H.W. Bush has left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz, a critical choke point, where it traditionally accompanies the Stennis, and has parked... right next to Syria.
From Stratfor:
And from CBS:
"The U.S. Embassy continues to urge U.S. citizens in Syria to depart immediately while commercial transportation is available," said a statement issued to the American community in Syria Wednesday and posted on the Embassy's website. "The number of airlines serving Syria has decreased significantly since the summer, while many of those airlines remaining have reduced their number of flights."
The warning followed an announcement in Washington this week that Ambassador Robert Ford would not return to Syria this month as planned, indicating concerns over his safety.
The Obama administration quietly pulled Ford out of Syria last month, citing credible personal threats against him.
The Turkish foreign ministry on Wednesday urged Turkish pilgrims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia and avoid traveling through Syria for security reasons.
The warning came two days after Syrian soldiers opened fire on at least two buses carrying Turkish citizens, witnesses and officials said, apparent retaliation for Turkey's criticism of Assad. The Turks were returning from Saudi Arabia after performing the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Agreed. They have a mutual defense pact. The Iranians will have to respond or lose face. This gives the Empire the excuse to attack Iran since Iran 'attacked' NATO/Arab League/GCC assets. That gives the Israelis the green light to use all those new air tactics skills they just finished working on with NATO, including mid-air refueling. NATO covers the Israeli flanks, allowing an all-out attack on Iranian Nuke sites. Hugo also may have a defense pact with Iran, can't remember. He does have some IRBMs courtesy of the Imams. The Russians have a small task force just off Syria and the Iranians have a missle-capable crusier off Venezuela. When they tell the civilians to get the hell out now, it's time to Duck and Cover.
Syria is just another step toward the caliphate.
Let's just hope that Ron Paul runs the NWO and we learn to keep our noses out of other planets and galaxies business.
Scary thing is, it will happen so fast, we won't know what hit us.
I'm an American living in Europe and I wouldn't mind America invading this place. If you think America's run like shit you really oughta experience this place. A total clusterfuck. I started telling my European friends years ago that I don't know the hell you people ever made it this far. America's problem is that we invade and then eventually leave. We should have occupied Europe top to bottom after ending the second world war. And you know what the crazy part is? Hitler was trying to accomplish what they are having difficulty accomplishing right now. I can't stop wondering what Europe would have been like if Germany won the war, They would have probably been better off.
Retard.
spacie: we're oh-fer-two. Even Wilson and Rosenfelt (OK, Truman, but he hadn't been clued in too much, didn't know where the WH Men's room was, didn't know about the Bomb, etc.).
So even the Progressives didn't want the puppy; cain't hardly see any reason to do so now.

The Muslim is destroying this country we need him impeached. Where the hell is our congress?
you mean obummer? the guy who is in the process of destroying every muslim nation on earth? that MUSLIM? wake up man.
Or is he motivating the troops to rise up and unite against Great Satan? Allowing new leaders to emerge who will reform the Caliphate?
You have more faith in that crap than the most virulent jihadist.
Obama is a godless, greed lusting whoreface.

We could say Europeans like the Rotheschildes and the Bavarian Illuminatti are connected, too. Scull and Bones was started after Huntington Russell came back from Germany, after all.

And you're wrong about America being an imperialist warmonger. This is simply how we are being cast by the true manipulators of human history that operate out of the Kremlin. Since you'll have troubles understanding this, just look up "Waly Samar", the Iraqi microbiologist behind the Anthrax mailings in Sept/Oct 2001. Turns out Bacilllus Subtilis is the key to the case and Waly is the most likely culprit:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/04/20/112520/was-fbi-too-quick-to-judge-anthrax.html
"...operate out of the Kremlin."
Haha... you're kidding right?
Apparently I've hit a touchy subject. Probably because I'm right.
No....you're simply a symptom of the disease. Do you really think the Kremlin is your friend? Do you really think they forsaked the goal of world domination to make you life easier? Get real:
http://thespiritoftruth.blogspot.com/2010/03/quick-review-of-history.html
This world we live in is toast because people opt to believe what they want to believe and Moscow is more than happy to tell us lies accordingly.
communist russia was created by same zionist pscychopaths that control the U.S. and Europe now. Putin has been battling the zionists reacently, wheras the U.S. government gave nuttyyahoo a blow job in full public view. so yeah, I trust putin more than the u.s. government. at least he is not a zionist whore.
In other words...."IT'S ALL THE JEWS FAULT!!!" Seems to me there's been tyrants of yesteryear who used the same battle cry. But why think for yourself when you can be a useful stooge for those plotting your demise?

The rash of ACL injuries in the NFL is obviously a Zionist conspiracy.
Viva La Putin!
I want Ventura for President just so we could see a Ventura/Putin cagematch.
So the Kremlin is not your friend and so they secretly rule the world? I think you left something out.
actually it makes perfect sense. If I called the shots as alluded, I'd wouldn't set up home base in some whiney ass politically correct western nation. Better to kick it old school where your security and counter intelligence forces have more leash to run with because of more, shall we say, "malleable" human rights standards.

Is this the part in the Left Behind book where the two guys in in Israel starting talking in all the languages of the world non stop for 30 days.
NO WAIT... Its the part where the hero gets to fly the anti-christ around in his 747 all day long... NO WAIT.........
Small error. "They" don't operate out of the Kremlin, "They" operate out of Tel Av......er Jerusalem.
Lol. Can I have some of the stuff you are smokin'?
'Most Americans are Imperial Warmongers' meanwhile 100,000 people are outside your door protesting Zionist rule.
Seems you j00z are hard of hearing.
Not provoke, they are trying to keep a lid on the Syrian government. It will be interesting to see if Iran jumps in. I doubt it.
Yeah, and Richard Speck was just trying to keep a lid on the nursing profession.

1:35 pm on a Saturday, somewhere in 'middle' American suburbia [future scene]:
[Two mid 30ish co-workers are watching what has turned out to be a boring, route of a college football game, cheetos, pretzels, cold pizza and beer on the table before them, when the conversation turns to the shitty economy - and...scene]
Tom: "Have you guys seen orders drop way off? I'm talking two year ago levels? Like broke-dick levels?"
Mike: "It's funny you mention that. We had a staff meeting & they've been hammering us for the umpteempth time that we're not closing enough deals, and everyone is getting worried again. Hell, we're already down 40% in headcount from 2007."
Tom: "And we've lowered our prices and are giving a bigger cut to affiliates, too, and our asswipe CEO has mentioned that shitty ass Group On thingy, too, so you'd think that...."
Mike [suddenly]: "Hang on bro! Look at this shit...breaking news about a massive ground invasion in Syria..."
{and fade to black]
Distraction of hot lead action for the maximum traction.
Bitcchez.
Like 2 Americans would know where Syria is, or even what it is.
ABC would surely misidentify it on a map for them with colorful, splashy graphics, and some sort of situation room type bullshit, with their lead 'security' analyst/retired general there to explain how things work, for their benefit.
Classic.
to complete the picture you paint, dozens of those "nodding dogs" on their BARK-a-loungers. . .
(LaZy-BoyZ - oooh, how they lol'd when that name was added)
You don't need to know where Syria is to enjoy the show.
OOH! OOH! I hope they have night vision to show all them tracers and bombs at night and shit!
/sarc
You got that right "Tricky Dick"! They don't even know where the god damn bathroom is without a map.
They may not know where Syria is, but highly likely americans will soon become acquainted with the Iranian missiles set up in Venezuela.
Awesome, then we can nuke Hugo & his cancer back to Imperial Spain Age
Like we don't know where their subs are? And we won't visit them with a depth charge or 2.36 seconds after we've cruise-missiled every Syrian & Iranian missile installation?
I very much doubt we'll suffer much damage in this coming shitfest. i) because we spend as much as the rest of the world combined on our military, and ii) because we wouldn't attack unless there was little risk to us.
Syria
is that next to walmart...
http://youtu.be/1FEm5VwrgQY
exactly just kill. don't question. and suck up to authority. one day they will kill you too. it's pathetic.
Not De Gaulle. Putin. It is he who will veto any conscience balm UN resolution . . . .
. . . and then reach out and twist the spigot half closed on his 10 mbpd and inform NATO that they will stand down or pay $200/barrel for 5 years.
"Not De Gaulle." Think it was the Frances' antique aircraft carrier being referred to.
Reportedly southwest of India as of a week ago, so maybe 1-2 days to the gulf. It's probably already there, but on the wrong side for Syria operations, right side for dealing with Iran.
Frenchie air assets were also heavily involved in the recent Empire war-games runup. Israeli aircraft are equipped for US carrier ops. The Iranians are not Iraqis, however. They have some decently reliable heavy stuff capable of striking our SW Asia AO bases. "Oil for $350, Alex."
The French were the ones leading the charge on Libya...I figured it was a chance to try out their toys.
It appears likely we will knock of Assad; all we need is the Sauds and Jordanians really to agree. The rest of the pissant nations are too small and will go along with that consensus. If the Ahabs fly a few planes, the nations with Med bases, US, Italy, France, will do the heavy lifting.
CVN interoperability allows Rafale-Ms to fly from our decks and we can all celebrate coalitions and shit like that.
I have a pack of Gulf War I trading cards. Old man Assad is included as our ally.
Nonsense, Winston! We have ALWAYS been at war with Syria.
Not bases, the ship loading terminal of a next door neighbor.

they say 500 toz of silver is vaporized with each cruise missile blast
And also about 3 million pounds of future Soylent Green.
.
Good point.
But it's is closer to 1500 troy ounces. (Give or take a hundo or so depending on the particular vehicle.)
Silver bitchezz!!
The crowd pleasers!
Uhh, A little help with the math here, 32.1507466 troy oz in 1 kg, in each missile there is 46.65 kilograms or 102 lbs of silver. I doubt that very much..
And using those Anti-Werewolf warheads, it takes incredible 0.25 tons of silver !
Possibly, but carriers are also very good for evacuating people - witness Operation Frequent Wind in 1975, for example. A single carrier would be a lot better as a base for an evacuation than a base for enforcing a no-fly zone over a country with an existing airforce/air defense network, even if it is of lesser quality. A carrier air group just isn't big enough.
Yes, but what is hiding at Diego Garcia? I'm headed for the vending machine for another silver bar.
The one place to go ugly early with a great body or get to know a passing flight attendant.

If I were an innocent Syrian civilian right now about to be protected from harm I'd syriusly be shitting my pants.
Don't worry, the pending bombing, invasion, assassinations, killing of women and children, confiscation of resources, government overthrow and never ending occupation are scrictly for humanitarian reasons.
We're freeing the fuck out of them!
made me laugh..
I believe you're referring to OBHR (ordnance based humanitarian relief).
smells like the election is over....cancel all upcoming republican debates......Obama won....god help us all
This was expected Sept./Oct. as per ex-CIA agent Robert Baer.
It appears like market and geopolitical timing is delayed by about 4-5weeks, at least my calcs are, but alas Fed Eurozone Gov fuckery staggers it a bit.

Just got awarded best comment by ZH on Twitter....
Al arabiya - the Saudis - carried an article the days ago saying the us was pulling troops from Iraq early....
Also yemen's saleh was alleged to have escaped Saudi Arabia but yet is returning voluntarily to settle up the gcc deal? This after the same Saudi paper wrote an article claiming the hit on saleh was an American missile per an outside investigative team. So who exactly was watching saleh before he slipped out of Saudi to return to Yemen?
Then here is the coordinated assualt on Somalia with Ethiopia grabbing for their long sought ports in the north after failing in the last us backed effort while Kenya attacks from the south. The us sits smack in the middle in dijbouti. Don't forget those recent uganda troop deployments - Uganda just approved an major fielld transfer to France total. Uganda is also the biggest troop presence in Somalia.
Goack a few years to 2009 or so an note that Russia was evaluating ports in both Syria and Yemen. Long before dod leaked the drone bases on the horn article paneta had hashed out an area in Yemen for. A drone base.
Then finally consider the us response to the Pakistan memo asking for us support against the isi by the famously corrupt gilani. Mullen denied there was a memo then remembered it. Then Clinton de Los to myanmar after deploying troops
Making friends all over the place.
For a whiff of Friedman's analysis go back and see his analysis of the financial crisis or the nie back in bush yes. The guy is worse than a hack.

Let us give thanks to the gun barrels of democracy that are breathing down the back of anyone and everyone in sight. They fight for our freedoms, so that we can give them away to the cronies.
We're going to bomb that freedom right into their little turban-covered heads, you betcha.
Saving the world one undeclared war at a time.
Declaration? We don't need no stinking declaration. We are the moral majority. Our bombs and bullets have higher moral fiber than theirs. Theirs being the ones we sold them in the past. What a clusterfuckbastardshitcumfuckduggery.
Declarations of War are so 19th century.
War is begun via Empirial executive orders, signing statements and 'police actions.'

You can call them french fries, the frogs are with us in this latest fiasco. In fact, to honor the French, congress will now replace the word "freedom" with a variant of "french" wherever it occurs.

Must be talking about atheist America. Can't say the word, post a sign, or ign w/out getting arrested by the nazis at the ACLU's behest.
you may want to do a little homework on this subject. it has nothing to do with the ACLU or 'atheists" (which I am and I quite enjoy Christmas).
this whole "holidays" instead of "Christmas" phenomenon that we are seeing has been brought to you by the ADL not ACLU.
Look it up and get it straight. Atheists love Christmas...it's a day off, a time to eat and drink with friends and family and often bring back fond childhood memories. You don't have to be religious to enjoy those things.
This is it; think Tonkin Gulf Resolution.
That's what I was thinking. They might sink our own carrier and blame Syria/Iran...
