There are NO foreign forces presently on our soil....
The stand down will affect 3,800 aircraft and thousands of naval aviation personnel, including aircraft on 12 carriers around the world. It is the first time since September 1997 that such a pause in flight operations across the Navy has been ordered.

I honestly dont really know what think at this point, but it just seems like too much drama is building up. And from my experience drama build up is rarely a good thing.

Also does anyone know the time and official date of the Navy stand down so they can review the safety policies?
from the horses mouth
...stand down March 3, to be conducted by all non-deployed squadrons no later than Friday, March 10.
[...]
...the Navy has experienced nine class “alpha” mishaps. By this date in 2005, the navy had experienced eight. A class alpha mishap is defined as a loss of aircraft; or greater than $1 million in damage; or a loss of life; or a permanent disability.
[...]
While we’re almost exactly where we were at this time last year, it is important that we halt this trend of the past two months, and that’s why I’ve directed this stand down.

Strange stuff.. Well Iran does have stealth technology now, so you never really know. This reminds me of the dude on GLP who said we would invade Iran on march 29th. If this does happen, that would most likely be true.

People, I do believe that a great catastrophe is about to befall the USA. I live in South Africa and have been following various conspiracy theories, etc for about 7 or 8 years now. Everything seems to be pointing to a civil war in your country. Events are escalating and the propaganda increasing. Mr Bush and his cronies need to be removed but I fear that this will only happen through civil war. I hope that none of you will see this in your lifetime but, IMHO, we have months (if not weeks) before this comes to pass. Anybody who still doubts that your government would happily expend the lives of a few thousand citizens for its own agenda is living with blinkers on. Has not your government expended many, many lives in the pursuit of its interests in the Middle East? Not only those that died on 9/11 but those poor patriots who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq (and now, in all probability, in Iran). If you all don't rise up against this madness, you will find yourselves imprisoned by your own government in the interests of "national security". Those detention camps that have been prepared throughout your beautiful country will be used to house US citizens who dare to speak out against your government. I read somewhere (I unfortunately can't find it now) that the US has more foreign troops stationed on its soil than the number of its own soldiers, ostensibly because the foreign troops will have no qualms in shooting US citizens whereas US troops might become problematic when asked to fire on civilians. I wait with bated breath for Saturday and, should this all be a hoax (and I pray for your sake that it is), I will log on again on Monday and see your response!

Greetings Fellow Believers,
I can't imagine that Iran would have the capability for a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States. Iran does have submarines, but it is highly doubtful they could penetrate U.S. detection nets in the Atlantic and Pacific.
Either scenario would give a submarine opportunity to be smuggled into U.S. ports. Also--some of you are assuming that a submarine needs to launch a nuke with a missle to attack a target. If an Iranian submarine were to carry a nuclear device--the submarine itself would be the transport. It would only have to get close enough to its target to do sufficient damage.
It is SOOOO obvious who doesn't read the posts...
boys- lets hear it again...
say it slowly
Iran was never mentioned by the hooker... it was attack BY USA on USA
try not to confuse things...
or better yet, lets do... and see what happens
RETARDED ZOMBIES WITH NUKES WILL ATTACK THE WEST COAST- RUN!!! THEY NEED OUR BRAINS... BUT APPARENTLY, MIGHT STARVE REGARDLESS

Ahhh... GLP. N'uff said.
HOW many hoaxes have "broken" there? I count Nancy Liederer, the Aussie Bloke absurdity, "John Titor's Teammate", and several others.

Also, I wanted to add the little bit regarding the Naval Standown this friday.
In the pursuit of denying ignorance:
The Standown will ony be for a half day on Friday Not Saturday
and will ground all Naval flights during that time. I would hope the Air force was covering tasks during the standown, but nothing was mentioned.
