WASHINGTON (KMOX Radio) -- A warning earlier this week from Iran's supreme ruler that his country will deliver a "punch" February 11th that will "stun" the West is being taken seriously at the highest levels of the U-S government, according to Missouri's two Senators.
Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill described the concern about Iran today in Washington as a matter of "almost hyper focus."
"I know the military is monitoring it carefully. I know the intelligence community is monitoring it carefully. I can't share many of the details of that. But I will say that I think our government is very, very, very concerned."
Earlier this week, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech that: "The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western Powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned."

Thank you for the ping this is troublesome we have so many illegal alien Muslims in the US like the Somali’s in Minnesota (even their so called leader Omar Jamal is here illegally)and many who have been going over for terrorist training you hope they are keeping a close eye on them.

We are bulking up our patriot missile presence and our naval presence in the region. I have a friend who just got deployed to the UAE; she was being told if war broke out in the region, we would be acting from there." <<<<
A long, long posting enumerating possible scenarios for February 11th.
There’s a shortage of glass in Iran???

A rat, some turtles, and a worm? someone in iran has been watching too much of the origonal TMNT series.
It’s that Google thing, right?
Keep in mind that whatever happens will happen in the wee hours of our morning.
The fact that no one can (or is willing) to talk about it probably does not bode well. Hope I am wrong, but I have a bad feeling on this
“I think your bad feelings are justified. The last threat came from Khameini, not Ahmadinejehad. That’s significant. I don’t know what they have in mind but I feel pretty certain that it isn’t all bluster.”
I think it is significant that Obama pulled out of attending the Opening ceremony at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. very late in the game. Forty other heads of state and other high-ranking government dignitaries (like secretaries of state and cabinet members/ministers) are still slated to attend the event. Also, it is potentially significant that for the first time ever, the Opening ceremony is being conducted indoors.
Perhaps the Olympics themselves are not the “Western Powers” target, after all Vancouver is only 30 miles north of the U.S. border at Washington state. There is a large volume increase in visitors going both directions at U.S.-Canadian border stations that are proximal to Vancouver.
Perhaps of significance is the fact that the only nuclear plant in the Pacific northwest is located in Washington state. It is called the Hanford Nuclear facility. The following is some information about the Hanford Nuclear facility.
“The Hanford Nuclear Facility located in southeast Washington state was opened just after the end of World War II. The purpose of the facility was to enrich plutonium used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons and bombs. The plant was run by the government for 45 years in secrecy.”

The U.S. should not ignore a direct threat made by a fairly militarily capable nation especially when that nation is led by a religiously motivated vicious dictator...
