Ret. Adm. Bob Inman, a former deputy CIA director who is close to Gates, told reporters in a teleconference sponsored by Public Agenda this
week that he was quite confident that Bush administration would maintain its second-term emphasis on diplomacy to its end, and that conflict with any
country before then was very unlikely. He did add this one caveat, however: “My only worry would be an Iranian Revolutionary Guard attack on a ship
in the Gulf..." -Jim Lobe/IPS

and stories about Iranian vessels harassing USA ships not long ago,

I have to wonder if we are not seeing the final preparations for an operation which will give the USA/Israel excuse to attack Iran. If we do attack
Iran, then Russia and China are likely to enter into the war to protect their interests.

Russia has been doing some serious saber rattling of their own of late.

It seems to me that the sinking of an aircraft carrier would be just the kind of shock to the western psyche necessary to get us behind another war.
The USS Eisenhower underwent a complete overhaul two years ago, and has been in the Persian Gulf for some time, though I’m unable to find if it’s
still there or not. Seems to me that the Ike might be prepared as a sacrifice to start WWIII. The final war to bring in the NWO.
