Wars and Rumors of wars

[maximiza]

I found this news interesting, not really reported on US news. I wounder if a new war will be used as a diversion from the US goverment defaulting or world economy collapsing. (adjusting tin foil hat)

Interesting, though not altogether surprising. With Ahmadinejad (sp?) threatening to totally destroy Israel plus the US and its allies if he can build a big enough bomb, no wonder we're preparing for a worst-case scenario. (i.e., he manages to build long-range nuclear weapons)

If Iran moves all its nuclear facilities deep into mountain tunnels, I doubt those bunker-buster bombs would work. IIRC, NORAD (the air defense joint operation between Canada & the US) used to have its headquarters in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorada, where it would take a nuke to destroy it.

My guess it's' just saber-rattling by the US, or else those bunker-busters could be for an assault on Al Quaida mountain hideouts. More likely, it'll be Israel taking on Iran before the US does, and they may just use their nukes & be done with it. Anyway, expect oil to jump to $150 a barrel or more due to the interruption in tanker traffic in the Persian gulf...

Higher priced oil is a better alternative to the nut Ahmadinejad!
