I know we all love doom here, and myself included.
but I wanted to start a list of worrisome signs.
I think the dreaded attack on Iran is close.
1. we have 1 carrier in the persian gulf right now, G. H. W. Bush, The stennis just left for the med sea.
Source ( Stratfor.com) & recent article on massive drill w/ Israel & S. Arabia.
Richard Maybury has always said that any attack on Iran would be preceded by carriers leaving the gulf, not entering it, they want those big ships out of missile range.
2. Troops massing on pakistan border (self explanatory, only preceding an invasion(or threat) would you get troops massing)
3. Invasion and take over of libya, libya has the 9th largest supply of oil in the world, and most of the country is unexplored (meaning huge reserves), the oil from libya is "high end, sweet crude", it also is pumped to the surface for under a dollar a barrel. and most importantly, libya is located in N. Africa, it is outside the the straits of hormuz and directly on the Med Sea. no tankers will be forced to enter the Iran kill zone to get their oil from libya. The U.S. now controls all that oil, and if the straits of hormuz are closed (from a war), then the value of this oil goes sky high (from its high quality, its strategic location, and its cost to bring to market)
4. the U.S. has recalled its ambassador from Syria, this is almost always only done as a prelude to war. the reason given was "instability in the region", but before we invaded Iraq the ambassador was recalled, and virtually every other country we have invaded we have done the same thing.
5. this nationwide terror drill on 11/9/11, a 3 minute blackout, I have not put together "what they might do", but that is frightening. considering the numbers involved.
I will be adding to this thread, as I gather more info...
