... my secret Bushspeak decoder ring interprets that signal as step one in the countdown to a major escalation of American military activity in the middle east.

I believe there is a relatively new carrier battle group in the gulf. The principle carrier is an older one and there is some thought that this may be to draw fire from Iranian "Sunburn" missles which are possibly nuclear tipped "Exocet" style ship killers. There have been major war exercises going on on both the Iranian and allied sides in the area recently. The false flag news website would be a way of keeping up to date on that sort of thing.

If there is an attack on Iran, the administration will see enormous protests all around the US and world, and people would pressure the Congress and Senate to stop funding for the war (and believe me they will get 2/3 the vote because believe it or not, not all Republicans are neocons or agree with Bush's policies).
I just DON'T see how it could happen...unless Iran attacks and starts it. And it can't just be an attack on an air craft carrier, but something big.

Yep, When Iraq kicked off there were MASS protests.. but they still did it.
Congress and repubs/dems dont want more troops in Iraq, but bush has already said ' the decisions his, and its been made'
so I cant see how anyone can stop him, if he decides to hit iran.
Why else would we be seeing ships in the Gulf,
Good thread, thanks for starting it. In addition, I have also read in several places that the U.S. does indeed plan on using nuclear weapons.
