TIME: U.S. May be Preparing For War Against Iran 09:54 Sep 18, '06 / 25 Elul 5766

(IsraelNN.com) The United States might be preparing for war against Iran, according to the current issue of TIME Magazine. It reported that the American Navy recently ordered a submarine and minesweepers to prepare to deploy, and it is likely the intention was to prepare to blockade the Persian Gulf where Iranian oil tankers must pass.

"From the State Department to the White House to the highest reaches of the military command, there is a growing sense that a showdown with Iran--over its suspected quest for nuclear weapons, its threats against Israel and its bid for dominance of the world's richest oil region--may be impossible to avoid.," according to the magazine report.

It noted that American worries over Iran increased dramatically following the Iranian-backed Hizbullah terrorist war against Israel this summer.

Any American attack on Iran would be from the air and not from the ground, TIME said. American strategists estimate that Iran's first reaction would be to attack Israel.

I can tell you that with my husband being a doctor we get loads of free magazines. Time and Newsweek included. I can also remember during the 2000 election when so many people cancelled subscriptions we got a renewel notice for newsweek that was $20 for the year.

Well of COURSE we are, the Administration would be woefully negligent if it is not doing such planning.

Let's see. Will Time, Newsweak, WaPo, LA Slimes, or NY Slimes leak confidential info first in an effort to sabotage?

Of course, courtesy of the information provided by Democrat sympathizers in sensitive government positions.

The problem is the media believes they are the 4th branch of government.

Well put.

You know, I had the most hilarious visual pop up in my mind, and although it won't happen, it's fun to think about:

Remember the last time that little runt from Iran spoke at the U.N., and he was babbling about the big green aura around him, and how everyone was silenced and hypnotized into listening to him wax poetic about all things allah, and the rest of that crap?

Well you can be sure that Ahmadjihad will probably be in the audience when President Bush makes his speech, and if the President really wanted to spook the Islamofascists and maybe even throw a scare into the U.N. itself, he should throw away his prepared speech and go with the following impromptu comments:

President Bush: "Secretary General Anan, extinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is GREAT to be back at the U.N. General Assembly! Praise GOD! Can I get an Amen? How 'bout you Brother Bolton? [Ambassador John Bolton shouts "Amen Brother, PREACH it!"] - Ladies and gentlemen, I come here in the Name of JESUS, that NAME above EVERY name, the King of kings and LORD of lords, Jesus CHRIST, the One and Only Son of the Living God!

Now I'm here to tell you unbelievers that I have heard the VOICE of Jesus Christ, revealed in His Word, which is NOT the Koran, or any other pagan text, I heard the Voice of Christ in God's Holy BIBLE, and He said He is coming again and SOON!

I see the Israeli Ambassador squirming a little bit down front here, and Mr. Ambassador? It's OK, the United States of America is in YOUR corner, we LOVE Israel, because YOU are GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE, and I said America would defend Israel if attacked, and you Jew-haters in here better believe it! An attack on Israel is like an attack on the United States and we will respond with MAXIMUM retalitory force!

I have a few words for those who seem to think that this joker 'allah' is actually God, and here is your sign: he is NOT! 'allah' is nothing but a demon working for Satan himself, he's nothing but an impotent moon goon that conned ignorant and gullible savages into worshiping it. And here's another update, the so-called "prophet" Mohammed is nothing but a fake seer and a child molester to boot.

You read the New Testament and the Words of Jesus, and He said "by their fruits you shall know them", and I ask you people, how many innocent men, women and children have been murdered by Christian terrorists hijacking airliners and crashing them into buildings? That's right, NONE me buckos, and while we're at it, how many innocent victims have had their heads hacked off with rusty blades by Christian jihadists, and then swinging the head around? That's right, NONE again!

But we all know the religious persuasions of the subhuman scumbags who DID those deeds, now don't we? Shame on every last one of them, they are burning in Hell right now with no hope of redemption, and unless each and every one of you deluded Islamic souls repent of your sins, ask Jesus Christ into your hearts to be your Lord and Saviour, you will ALL join your misguided brethren in the eternal fires of HELL!

And it will be King Jesus who will send you there, and God willing, with a big ol' nuclear assist from the U.S. of A!

Hallujujah! Praise the Lord and PASS that ammunition Brother Rumsfeld!

[SecDef Rumsfeld jumps up with arms stretched high and shouts "PRAISE JESUS, the missiles are ARMED!!"]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Secretary-General Anan, this concludes my remarks, now you better give your souls to Jesus, because if you all step one little itty bit out of line, your ASSES will belong to US, as in "U.S."!



(sigh), oh what warm fuzzies that brings me.... :)

In a textbook preemptive strike, enemedia forces led by Time Magazine weighed in on the side of Iran's hardline Islamic terror regime, attempting to forestall a US attack on the Persian Gulf nation, currently led by a cabal of bearded crazies.

While Time's frontal assault led Monday's attack, other enemedia forces from the Axis of Evil, including the New York Times and Washington Post, quickly moved to protect Time's flanks from an expected American counterattack.

The enemedia's most powerful forces, the television networks, were late to the start of the offensive. "We don't know what we're suppose to think until we get our copies of the Times and the Post," a CNN spokesman admitted.

CNN did move a number of reporters, including War Slut Christiane Amanpour, to Tehran, to work under the aegis of the Iranian Ministry of Propaganda. "That worked out well for us when we did it with Ba'athist Iraq," CNN wallah Eason Jordan explained.

Stay tuned to Free Republic for more news as the enemedia continues its assault on America, now in its thirty-eighth year.

October surprise?

No...Oktoberfest surprise. One of my favorite times of the year, especially when I was stationed in Germany.

Yeah. Since the Jimmy Carter days we have. It is what we pay some people to do...

No news here.

I was able to predict the beginning of Gulf War I to within 45 minutes. But that one was easy - assuming GHWB meant what he said, which he did. I've never come close with any other. There is just so much diplomacy going on, some of it blatant sabre rattling, that you just don't know until it actually starts.

Chances are that any attack by the US against Iran will be a sneak attack in absolute secrecy!!!

I have asked for and received confirmation from my U.S. Congressman to ask Bush to go to Congress to get a formal Declaration of War against Iran.

I suggest everyone here do the same. Iran must NEVER be permitted to get the bomb.
