  Arab world fears an Iran war may be impending
  
  DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
  
  August 18, 2008, 10:10 PM (GMT+02:00)
  USS Ronald Reagan
  
  USS Ronald Reagan
  
  DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report that the Iranian satellite carrier space launch Sunday, Aug. 17, was prompted by a joint caution to Tehran from Saudi King Abdullah and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
  
  After their meeting Saturday, the spokesman of the presidential palace in Cairo, Suleiman Awwad, said: Iran should not present on a silver platter the “justifications and pretexts for those [US and Israel] who want to drag the region down a dangerous slope.”
  
  This warning was interpreted by the London Arabic daily Al Quds as a warning to Tehran that an attack is impending by the US, some European nations and Israel.
  
  The article recalled the fate of Saddam Hussein “who didn't adequately refute claims over Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction.”
  
  Tehran immediately responded to the warning by launching the Safir satellite carrier into orbit, thereby exhibiting a ballistic missile capable of reaching outside the Middle East, as far as Britain and France, should they decide to join an American attack on Iran, as well as US military installations on that continent.
  
  Our military sources report that the war scare in Cairo and Riyadh also infected Kuwait.
  
  Last week, the small oil emirate placed its military on “war alert,” to avoid being caught off-guard by a possible conflict in the region. On Saturday, Kuwait boosted its naval force in the Persian Gulf to ward off a possible Iranian reprisal against its oil installations if attacked.
  
  The scare was fed by the impending arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan, and the USS Iwo Jima in the Persian Gulf to reinforce the US strike forces in the region, as first revealed by DEBKAfile on August 11.
  
  They are to join the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is patrolling the Arabian Sea opposite Iran, and the USS Peleliu, on beat in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. This deployment would be the largest naval task force the US and its allies had massed in the region since the 1991 Gulf War.
  
  A US Pentagon spokesman last week denied that these forces were gathering to impose a partial naval blockade on Iran, but declined to disclose their mission. The denial apparently failed to convince the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kuwait.

  AMERICA IS FULL OF "ENERGY IDIOTS"
  
  ‘Buy America Energy’ should be our focus for the future.
  We could have $2.50 gasoline from our own local supplies.
  The American oil shortage is political, not geological.
  In the U.S., the local, State and Federal governments prohibits drilling offshore, effectively blockading American companies from supplying oil to Americans so that foreigners can make obscene profits from our energy stupidity.
  Half the home sales in America are foreclosures because we are sending all our money overseas for foreign oil, when it could be staying here creating millions of safe American oil and local jobs.
  The entire economy and our communities are facing collapse because of the irrational ongoing attack on American Energy.
  Our entire modern society is build on fossil fuels. The population is so brainwashed by the "Sierra Club Gang" they don't realize that if the much maligned oil companies went on strike, within a month half the population would be dead;
  Without hydrocarbons fuel you would soon be walking. You couldn’t be driving cars, and it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, as they would be walking too.
  The food distribution system would quickly grind to a halt as cold-storage warehouses stockpiling perishables went offline due to lack of electricity.
  Most of the things we depend upon would be gone, and we would literally be depending on our own food assets and those we could reach by walking to them.
  Without hydrocarbons fuel people in hospitals would be dying faster, because they depend on electrical power and natural gas for warming to stay alive. But then stoppages would soon include water, food, civil authority, emergency services. And we would end up with a country with many, many people not surviving.
  ANWR: Could quickly replace 10% of America's oil imports.
  OIL SHALE: There's 3 trillion barrels of oil in Shales in Colorado, The technology to remove the oil was developed back in the mid 1980s. This Area could supply 20-30% of America's oil needs within a decade, with modest environmental impacts. It only takes 3 barrels of water to make one barrel of shale-oil. It take 85 barrels of water to make one barrel of ethanol!
  CALIFORNIA FACT; There is between 2-3 billion barrels of proven-probable barrels of oil within 20 miles of the Santa Barbara County shores alone.
  See; www.strategicnine.com/...
  CALIFORNIA FACT; This area alone could produce 300,000 to 500,000 barrels a day for 10-20 years, replacing more than half of California's oil imports, while generating billions in County, State and federal royalties, and make Santa Barbara County the wealthiest in the nation.
  NATURAL OIL SEEPS POLLUTION; The Santa Barbara County continues to suffer 6,000 tons per year or airborne pollution from natural oil-gas seeps and does not get a nickel in revenues or health benefits from natural oil seeps and instead continues bankrolling Americas competitors and enemies.
  Change is urgently needed, or the American economy will soon disintegrate.
  The OPEC-Russia-Chavez oil cartel is not just looting the United States, but the whole world, and will accumulate over $1.5 trillion in net profits this year. At their current rate of take, OPEC-Russia will acquire enough cash to buy majority control of every leading company in the United States within six years. And you are voting into power the very American-energy-traito... who are doing this to you and your country.

• How You Can Invest in the Pickens Plan [view article]

  Another way to combine water with wind is to use windmills to pump water.
  
  You need two lakes, one above another.
  
  When the wind is blowing, you use the turbines as pumps and shift the water up hill to a higher lake and when the wind stops the pumps become generators and the water flows down hill again.
  
  The Swiss have been secretly doing this with cheap nuke power from France which they quietly use at night, when the France electricity demand is low, they pump Swiss lake water uphill. and let it run turbines during the day. smooths out the electricity flow.... Maybe this is what Boone is planning. Aug 21 09:33 AM

And we offered to convert cars to CNG.
  
  So far no one seems much interested. Americans would rather send their entire national wealth to our enemies!!!

  Whether its military fascism or not the boats are there. As regards Georgia, I suspect you are merely believing the "Spin". I think it was a setup from the start to finish. Never mind, time might not tell either as things will get all muddied up with more spin on spin.
  
  You can't tell me that the US wasn't fully aware of all those tanks poised on the Russian side a couple of days earlier. They just forgot to tell the Georgians thats all. and so the trap was set. Aug 16 03:39 PM

  You lot don't realize that America gave Georgia to the Russians 6 months ago in return for Russia looking the other way when we roll over Iran, shortly. All you are seeing in the press is spin.
  
  Three major US naval strike forces due this week in Persian Gulf
  
  DEBKAfile Special Report
  
  August 12, 2008, 10:04 PM (GMT+02:00)
  New America armada around Iran
  
  New America armada around Iran
  
  DEBKAfile’s military sources note that the arrival of the three new American flotillas will raise to five the number of US strike forces in Middle East waters – an unprecedented build-up since the crisis erupted over Iran’s nuclear program.
  
  
  This vast naval and air strength consists of more than 40 carriers, warships and submarines, some of the last nuclear-armed, opposite the Islamic Republic, a concentration last seen just before the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
  
  Our military sources postulate five objects of this show of American muscle:
  
  
  1. The US, aided also by France, Britain and Canada, is finalizing preparations for a partial naval blockade to deny Iran imports of benzene and other refined oil products. This action would indicate that the Bush administration had thrown in the towel on stiff United Nations sanctions and decided to take matters in its own hands.
  
  
  2. Iran, which imports 40 percent of its refined fuel products from Gulf neighbors, will retaliate for the embargo by shutting the Strait of Hormuz oil route chokepoint, in which case the US naval and air force stand ready to reopen the Strait and fight back any Iranian attempt to break through the blockade.
  
  
  3. Washington is deploying forces as back-up for a possible Israeli military attack on Iran’s nuclear installations.
  
  
  4. A potential rush of events in which a US-led blockade, Israeli attack and Iranian reprisals pile up in a very short time and precipitate a major military crisis.
  
  
  5. While a massive deployment of this nature calls for long planning, its occurrence at this time cannot be divorced from the flare-up of the Caucasian war between Russia and Georgia. While Russia has strengthened its stake in Caspian oil resources by its overwhelming military intervention against Georgia, the Americans are investing might in defending the primary Persian Gulf oil sources of the West and the Far East.
  
  
  DEBKAfile’s military sources name the three US strike forces en route to the Gulf as the USS Theodore Roosevelt , the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Iwo Jima . Already in place are the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea opposite Iranian shores and the USS Peleliu which is cruising in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

  IWO ESG ~ Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group
  USS Iwo Jima (LHD7) amphibious assault carrier
  with its Amphibious Squadron Four
  and with its 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
  USS San Antonio (LPD17) assault ship
  USS Velia Gulf (CG72) guided missile cruiser

  USS Roosevelt (DDG80) guided missile destroyer
  
  USS Hartfore (SSN768) nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine
  
  
  Carrier Strike Group Seven
  
  
  USS Ronald Reagan (CVN76) nuclear powered supercarrier
  with its Carrier Air Wing 14
  Destroyer Squadron 7
  USS Chancellorsville (CG62) guided missile cruiser
  USS Howard (DDG83) guided missile destroyer
  USS Gridley (DDG101) guided missile destroyer
  USS Decatur (DDG73) guided missile destroyer
  USS Thach (FFG43) guided missile frigate
  USNS Rainier (T-AOE-7) fast combat support ship
  
  
  Also, likely to join the battle armada:
  
  UK Royal Navy HMS Ark Royal Carrier Strike Group with assorted guided missile destroyers and frigates, nuclear hunter-killer submarines and support ships
  
  French Navy nuclear powered hunter-killer submarines (likely the Amethyste and perhaps others), plus French Naval Rafale fighter jets operating off of the USS Theodore Roosevelt as the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle is in dry dock, and assorted surface warships
  
  Various other US Navy warships and submarines and support ships. The following USN ships took part (as the "enemy" forces) in Operation Brimstone and several may join in:
  
  USS San Jacinto (CG56) guided missile cruiser
  USS Anzio (CG68) guided missile cruiser
  USS Normandy (CG60) guided missile cruiser
  USS Carney (DDG64) guided missile destroyer
  USS Oscar Austin (DDG79) guided missile destroyer
  USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG81) guided missile destroyer
  USS Carr (FFG52) guided missile frigate
  
  The USS Iwo Jima and USS Peleliu Expeditionary Strike Groups have USMC Harrier jump jets and an assortment of assault and attack helicopters. The Expeditionary Strike Groups have powerful USMC Expeditionary Units with amphibious armor and ground forces trained for operating in shallow waters and in seizures of land assets, such as Qeshm Island (a 50 mile long island off of Bandar Abbas in the Gulf of Hormuz and headquarters of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps).
  
  The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US and allied Navies, by front loading a Naval blockade force with very powerful guided missile warships and strike carriers is attempting to have a force so powerful that Russia and China will not be tempted to mess with. This is a most serious game of military brinkmanship with major nuclear armed powers that have profound objections to the neo-con grand strategy and to western control of all of the Middle East's oil supply.
  
  The Russian Navy this spring sent a major battle fleet into the Mediterranean headed by the modern aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov and the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet, the Guided Missile Heavy Cruiser Moskva. This powerful fleet has at least 11 surface ships and unknown numbers of subs and can use the Russian naval facility at Syria's Tartous port for re-supply. The Admiral Kuznetsov carries approximately 47 warplanes and 10 helicopters. The warplanes are mostly the powerful Su-33, a naval version (with mid-air refueling capability) of the Su-27 family. While the Su-33 is a very powerful warplane it lacks the power of the stealth USAF F-22. However, the Russians insist that they have developed a plasma based system that allows them to stealth any aircraft and a recent incident where Russian fighters were able to appear unannounced over a US Navy carrier battle group tends to confirm their claims. The Su-33 can be armed with the 3M82 Moskit sea-skimming missile (NATO code name SS-N-22 Sunburn) and the even more powerful P-800 Oniks (also named Yakhonts; NATO code name SS-N-26 Onyx). Both missiles are designed to kill US Navy supercarriers by getting past the cruiser/destroyer screen and the USN point-defense Phalanx system by using high supersonic speeds and violent end maneuvers. Russian subs currently use the underwater rocket VA-111 Shkval (Squall), which is fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes and reaches a speed of 360kph (230mph) underwater. There is no effective countermeasures to this system and no western counterpart.
  
  ---------------------
  As Russian troops and air force pilots, and thousands of Russian civilians die in combat in Europe for the first time since 1945, only miles from their homeland (on land that was part of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union for centuries), the sleeping Russian Bear has been awaken and filled with a terrible resolve. The fact that only within the last few weeks have the 1,000+ American Marines - sent in to train the Georgians for this very war - left is not overlooked by the Russians.
  
  
  The fact that (according to DEBKA the well-connected Israeli strategy and military site) over 1,000 Israeli "mercenaries"... are actively engaged in combat with the Russian Army on the side of the Georgians is also not overlooked. The fact that the American neo-con administration and the Israelis have been engaged in a fury of advanced arms sales and deliveries over the last year, and that these weapons are killing Russians on their own historic territory, is not overlooked.
  
  
  The fact that the Bush administration tried very hard to get its European NATO partners to accept Georgia as a NATO member without success (too many European nations saw the trap and smelled a rather large rat), and the fact that had this neo-con gambit succeeded NATO would be in war against Russia now ~ this also is not overlooked by the Russian bear. The fact that the Georgian Defense Minister is a 'former' Israeli and many current and retired Israeli generals are deeply involved in Georgia is also not overlooked by the Russian bear.
