Just look how much stuff happened on my birthday- and all of this is just for last year- one 24 hour period.

it seems every month before the 11th there are stories that come out predicting something will happen. this story is interesting though because it is not uncommon for politicians to blab about things to hookers. someone else also brought up how NORAD was down on 9/11 and now this week the navy has grounded its jets. i'm sure this will become the biggest thread ever if it happens.

With the understanding of the naval standown, I am already thinking this is more chance of a hoax (or stalled attempt) than any danger...
It would be realistic however to think that IF a major leak ever occured, it would most likely be from a source such as this...
the MKultra hypno thing is freaky though... howd they know dat?
(or was it a damage control effort by the resident "ghost")

Safety stand downs are not uncommon. Many squadrons will have one after an incident (crash, maintenance problem, etc.) Navywide stand downs are also not uncommon. Actually, cutting out 1/2 day's worth of flights can save the Navy an enormous amount of money.
As was stated before, only non-deployed squadrons will be participating in the Navywide stand down. Which means that all stateside squadrons will be involved for half of the normal workday. By noon Friday, most squadrons will resume business as usual. No need to worry.

And doesn't March seem really loaded.
- Israel waits to decide on striking Iran until after their March elections.
- IAEA convenes at the end of March to decide what to do about Iran.
- Iran wants to switch to the Euro at the end of March.
- Hooker says west coast attacked in March.
There were some other interesting things also happening in March, but now I'm drawing a blank.

Iranian subs?? The only things that they have are some old diesel boats! And they have no boomers, so they can't launch anything. How are they going to deploy these nukes, throw them from the conning tower and run like buggery?
This sounds like a story based on a very large amount of wishful thinking and a very small amount of fact.
President George W Bush says the stand-off with Iran presents a "grave national security concern" for the US.
It is essential to resolve these issues diplomatically and "to deal with these threats today", Mr Bush said.

The BBC carried this today (10th March 2006)

Note that the statement mentions 'today'.

Iranian subs? Not a chance. Our hunter killer subs would be following them everywhere they go. And if they got near the US and so much as flushed a toilet....
