The 'proxy' war is escalating very rapidly. As AP reports, Navy officials confirm that the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is headed to Yemeni waters to intercept an Iranian weapons shipments.

“The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ship movement on the record.”

Find these officials, line them up and shoot them before breakfast.

Zerohedge is fine, as long as you look at their sources, and verify that the underlying article says the same thing as the Zerohedge blurb. As with many blogs with multiple writers, the opinion pieces range from highly insightful, to the bizarre. The blanket “don’t believe Zerohedge” is as intellectually lazy as “believe everything they say”.

I was in favor of letting Egypt and Saudi Arabia duke this one out with the Iranian proxies, but it really looks like they may need some help. Too much Iran equipment could tip the balance. Very risky though; said, “Oh, shxx” when I saw this.” And I’m usually a lady. ;-)

If we are going to fight the Iranians, we’d better hurry up giving them their $50 billion, so they can buy weapons first.
