- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls President Bush "the most hated person" in the world.
- Iran defiant in the face of the UN vote on sanctions vowing that nothing would stop them in moving forward with its nuclear program.
- News reports that the U.S. and Britain will soon be sending additional ships to Persian Gulf.
Editorial Note
This report on US war preparations must be taken very seriously.
In previous Global Research reports, we focussed on the US sponsored military buildup in the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean.
The US and its allies are on a war footing.
The military operation directed against Iran and Syria is at an advanced stage of military planning.
Although the decision to wage war is not contemplated, US and allied forces, including Israel and NATO, are in an advanced stage of readiness.
Media speculation is that USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarrier will be sent (below) to the Gulf in order to exert this physical presence.
Tis the season for a Crisis .....Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
