“Iran is already showing signs of aggression. Just two days ago, Iranian Navy supply ships surrounded a Romanian oil rig in the Persian Gulf.
One of the ships opened fire on the platform after the captain was denied entry to the rig. Then, five Iranian commandos armed with Kalashnikov machine guns climbed onto the platform, rounded up the rig’s crew onto the helicopter pad, and tied up the rest in the cafeteria.” (http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/press.asp?rls_id=392&cat_id=6)
This is a true act of aggression. Yet I did not see it anywhere on the news. I heard about it while listening to the radio. I think Americans need to focus more attention to the Persian Gulf since we have a large military presence there. I was really upset that this was almost ignored by the press. However, we know what color shirt John Mark Karr wore and whether or not he had a good sleep.
As of right now, the Romanians and the Iranians were able to reach an agreement and called it a commercial dispute. Is this the end of trouble from Iran? I don’t believe so.
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad says that he will close the border if the UN and Lebanon deploy troops on its border. He will consider it an act of hostility. I guess the problems in that area will never get solved. Plus the problems between Syria and Lebanon run deep. The Lebonese just kicked the Syrians out for the most part, though the Syrian/Iranian backed Hezbollah continue to run in the south and in other areas around Lebanon.
Well, I guess that the August 22 Surprise was all a rumor! Thank goodness for that. However, I notice that Ahmadinejad is playing the Kim Jong Il/Saddam Hussein game with the UN. Do I think he will give up his nuclear program under UN pressure? Ha ha ha! If he doesn’t what will happen? Will he get a nasty letter?
