KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

I know it all sounds so real, but Aussie Bloke is a very clever hoax. It has been debunked succesfully. IMHO.

Janes is the authority on War...

Maybe, but what I am wondering is if there is something bigger that has been hidden. My questions to all is this:
When George leaves CIA, is he able to tell top secret info., like comet coming to earth, or Nuke under NY? and if so what would be the repercussions for him? jail? verbal punishment?what? I wonder if he has something to say or prepare the US people, or maybe he is going into hiding.

[mindspy]

I was thinking he might be going into hiding too. However, he's not leaving until July. Also, the Deputy Director just resigned. Read it on other thread.

Ummmm, we are engaged in a long term war (WOT)?

It isn't just the U.S. Navy. The canoe clubs from every nation plan to have all their vessels out in June.

Weird that you just mentioned Amerihawk yesterday....

Hey I was just practicing what I preach: Buy American with Dupont! Besides nothing is too good for our troops, like a fresh, hot fish sandwich.

[Myrddin]

When George leaves CIA, is he able to tell top secret info.

No. If he does, he can spend a long time in Ft. Leavenworth with other people who have criminally mishandled classified information. The death penalty is included under certain circumstances.

Here's a troubling item.

Researchers have no idea what the pathogen is, where it came from or how it spreads.

Thank you for posting the Rick Donaldson post.

I don't follow the space objects, figure that I can't stop them, so worry about things I can stop.

What I thought might be worth adding here is that I was on the Survival Ring Group with Rick from 1999 to 2002.

When Rick speaks, I listen, this man has more knowledge than I will ever dream of. No, he is not a blowhard, he deals in facts.

I knew he was a Freeper, but don't seem to see his post very often, so have not kept up with him.

We attempted to educate the group on the Mexican Border and what was coming across it. No one listened.

Of course this is my opinion of reading all he posted on many subjects.

As he said the commie's took over with the hate the gov stuff and I left the group. It was their posts that taught me they were only changing the name clinton, to Bush and republishing the same messages that come out of the commie warehouse at etext.org.

I found that Rick only posted with something worth saying.

This is a link to a recording of an intercept, allegedly from the Gettysburg on the 25th of last month, wherein they claim to be under attack. Anyone with experience (Preferably Navy) please let us hear your thoughts on this. Was it just an exercise?

NNS040603-02. Seven Carrier Strike Groups Underway for
Exercise "Summer Pulse 04"

Special release from the U.S. Department of Defense

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Department of Defense
announced June 2 that this summer, simultaneous deployment of
seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs) will demonstrate the
ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the
globe by operating in five theaters with other U.S., allied and
coalition military forces.

"Summer Pulse 04" will be the Navy's first exercise of its new
operational construct, the Fleet Response Plan (FRP). FRP is
about new ways of operating, training, manning, and maintaining
the fleet that results in increased force readiness and the ability to
provide significant combat power to the President in response to
a national emergency or crisis.

Beginning this week and continuing through August, the Navy
will exercise the full range of skills involved in simultaneously
deploying and employing carrier strike groups around the world.
Summer Pulse 04 will include
scheduled deployments, surge operations, joint and international
exercises, and other advanced training and port visits.

Under the FRP construct, the Navy can provide six CSGs in less
than 30 days to support contingency operations around the
globe, and two more CSGs can be ready in three months to
reinforce or rotate with initially responding forces, to continue
presence operations in other parts of the world, or to support
military action in another crisis. Summer Pulse 04 will exercise
the logistics and shore infrastructure necessary to execute a large
scale surge operation, stress the operational concepts in the
Navy's Sea Power 21 strategy, and improve Navy
interoperability with numerous allies and coalition partners, as
well as other U.S. military forces.

The seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 04 will
include: the Norfolk-based USS George Washington (CVN 73)
CSG and the San Diego-based USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)
CSG, both currently deployed, and Yokosuka, Japan-based
USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). The Mayport, Fla.-based USS John
F Kennedy (CV 67) CSG will begin a combined and joint
exercise early this month, followed by a scheduled overseas
deployment. The Norfolk-based USS Harry S. Truman (CVN
75) CSG will conduct a scheduled training exercise followed by
overseas pulse operations with the Norfolk-based USS
Enterprise (CVN 65) CSG, beginning early this month. USS
Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) will conduct operations in the U.S.
Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command theaters
during the ship's interfleet transfer from Norfolk, Va., to its
Pacific Fleet homeport of San Diego.

The near-simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups
provides the Navy and the joint combatant commanders an
opportunity to exercise the FRP while maintaining the ability to
respond to crises around the globe, enhance regional security
and relationships, meet combatant commander requirements
including forward presence, and demonstrate a commitment to
allies and coalition partners. Summer Pulse 04 is scheduled to
conclude in August.

For more information on the Summer Pulse 04 events and to
schedule coverage opportunities, please contact Fleet Forces
Command media office at (757) 836-3600.

If Iran had fired a missile, they'd be toast.

I listened to the recording, but I don't know anything about these kinds of transmissions. It sounds to my very untrained ear, especially based on the conversation at the very end, like they were training.

The one guy replies to a question by saying something to the effect of "I'll come over there and show you how."

Reference the purported Gettysburg Attack:


1) 50,000 yards is extreme range for an ageing diesel boat of the type the Iranians have.

2) A Harpoon is the wrong weapon to use if the vessel is submerged.

3) The Gettysburg is part of a carrier task force, so all the ships in the TF would have responded, including air assets.


I am not discounting it happened, just questioning the attack and response tactics. Something doesnt add up.

Is this your response or someone else's?
