HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE � When the Nighthawks fly out of Holloman Air Force Base, the world watches.

After all, in March 2003, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, the fighter jets dropped the first laser-guided bombs against dictator Saddam Hussein, who subsequently fled and was later captured.

Now, according to Holloman Air Force Base Public Affairs, the 49th Fighter Wing at Holloman has �received a deployment order to support the United States national defense objectives in the Western Pacific region.� Planned to be deployed are �some� of the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighters, a Holloman news release states, along with �support personnel.� All are �preparing to depart� the base.

You will note the newspaper article does not say where the Nighthawk Fighters are being deployed, only to the Western Pacific. That should be a limited area but in today�s world, who knows.

This combined with the deployment of almost all our operational Naval Forces, some of which are undermanned; to the Pacific and parts unknown raise the possibilities of military action taking place in the near future. Due to the extreme cost of keeping so many war machines in the field, war could come sooner rather than later.

Where is anyone�s guess, but you have Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and there is always North Korea perched on they�re nuclear tree like a vulture waiting on something to die. Take your pick!

There is also the redeployment of our troops from S. Korea to the Middle East and rumors of more troop deployments, though this writer has not been able to pin any of these other rumors down as of yet.

�And there shall be wars and rumors of wars.�

�For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom� The actual Greek word for nation as used in the Bible is �ethnos� meaning ethnic. We are seeing many ethnic wars, most religious in nature, at this date with more to come.

It appears war is coming as if it were an avalanche someone cast a snowball into starting the process. One does not amass armies and navies such as we see world wide without the prospect of using them. No good will come of this and if it is war on a grand scale, you can depend upon a billion or more to die. As world trade comes to a screeching halt, oil trade possibly ending in the Middle East, food production being held in reserve for warring nations, you can bet the starvation horse of the Apocalypse will be mounted and ridden fourth.

One of the silliest most ignorant thoughts I have ever heard expressed is that the 400 plus different ethnic, language groups, cultural, religious, and social groups of people in the world will unite and gather by the campfire, roast marshmallows, and sing Kumbaya. It can happen, but only by extreme force. War is coming whether we want it or not, it is out of our hands as it has always been.

Good post there Ghost. I also believe another war may indeed be brewing. It just seems odd that most of the US navy is at sea and now this about the bombers. And what with the US's policy of pre-emptive strikes against countries it is possible.

My bet is on Iran or North Korea. However, both of these countries will be much more of a challenge than Iraq. North Korea has a much better army and has nuclear weapons, also they have a partial alliance with China and China would not be happy about the US invading the country right next to it - remember the first Korean war?

As for Iran. Their army is also better than Iraq's was and more of the population would fight back if attacked as Iran's rulers have more public support. Furthermore there is the strong possibility that Iran possesses the SS-N-22 "Sunburn", Quite possibly the most deadly and effective missle available and the missle that the US has repeatedly tried and failed to purchase from Russia. There is also the rumour, and it is just a rumour, that Russia has deployed intermediate range ballistic missles armed with nuclear warheads in Iran to deter US expansion and to threaten Israel.

Wow, interesting. I think the U.S. is preping for another war. Why would they first of all? I think fight 2 wars is a little crazy. Especially when we are trying pretty hard to end one. I see there is biblical quotes in the first post and that itself is a huge subject. Let us just hope another war is not coming. The world is seeing a little too much of it.

Much scarier than before. Since it cost more to start the bomber's than most people make in their life, it goes to reason that something is indeed going to happen. Still have a few friends in carriers, they have now idea other than they are deployed. But are also concerned that 10 of 12 are out.

Guess it will a really big one this time around.
