Title: Iran Update.
Post by: sledge on January 12, 2012, 10:04:58 PM

Who knows if it means anything or not.  I just thought these two recent facts are curious.

There will soon be 3 U.S. Carrier Strike Groups in the Gulf of Oman.  The USS John Stennis is being relieved by the USS Carl Vinson.  Also the USS Abraham Lincoln is in the Indian Ocean and en route to join the Carl Vinson.  So for a period of time there will be 3 strike groups in the Gulf.

I read last year , somewhere I can't remember where, to watch for the shutting down of the nuclear reactor at Dimona, where Israel makes it's nukes.  This was supposed to be an indication that an attack on Iran was coming.

My brother told me this evening that Iran now wants to invite inspectors into the country to review their nuclear program to avoid sanctions. I do not know were he got this info however lets watch the news over the next couple of days to see if it is accurate.

Hopefully something will come of this.  But it wouldn't be the first time that Iran has used talks to stall for more time.  It could be the ramped up pressure is having an effect, but I doubt it.  The leaders of Iran are fanatics and they've become experts at playing the system so to speak.

LOL!LOL!  I read a report that said the U.S. wasn't worried about Iran placing mines because we have developed advanced technology that wasn't available in the past.  Is this WTF they were talking about?   :o

Here China, come steal some of this!   LOL!
