At the same time, the consensus behind Mr. Obama’s plan may stem in part from the subsiding violence since Mr. Bush changed strategies and sent more troops in January 2007, a shift that the new president, who opposed it, did not directly address in his speech.

Elenin is already under the influence of the sun's gravity, and it always is. Comets, like all other objects in the solar system (exepting for the rare occasional rouge object from another solar system), are orbiting around our sun. That means the encounter we have with it is 100% predictable, given 100% accurate observations, and does not have a close encounter with any other relatively large objects. When predictions like this are made, they even take into account the gravity of all the large known solar system objects that might have a gravitational influence on it.edit on 11-2-2011 by C.H.U.D. because: typo

Are we taking into account that the comet could break up
due to the suns heat? change course?edit on 12-2-2011 by Lil Drummerboy because: (no reason given)
The comet had apparently passed extremely close to Jupiter on July 7, 1992, just over 40,000 km (25,000 mi) above the planet's cloud tops – a smaller distance than Jupiter's radius of 70,000 km (43,000 mi), and well within the orbit of Jupiter's innermost moon Metis and the planet's Roche limit, inside which tidal forces are strong enough to disrupt a body held together only by gravity
Smaller meteoroids (solid grains) are more affected by solar radiation pressure as they orbit the Sun, solar radiation pressure increases the orbital period
"In 1998 we passed through material shed by the comet in 1333," says Cooke. "That filament was old and somewhat spread out," so rates never climbed to storm levels. It was nevertheless spectacular because "the smallest bits of dust inside that cloud had been blown away long ago by solar radiation pressure. Only the largest meteoroids remained -- hence the fireballs."
Early in 1999, David Asher and Robert McNaught published a paper giving details on how to predict meteor storms for the Leonids. In general, they noted that each time the comet Tempel-Tuttle approached the sun it released a large amount of dust. The gravitational pull of Jupiter would pull the comet into a slightly different orbit as it exited the sun's vicinity or as it made its next approach. The result was that the comet was laying out a series of ringlets or filaments with clouds of dust. Asher and McNaught noted that after a while the old filaments would diffuse and merge together, but recent filaments would contain fairly dense clouds of dust. They subsequently predicted that a meteor storm would occur on November 18 as Earth passed through a filament produced by the 1899 return of Tempel-Tuttle. They predicted the peak would occur at 2:10 Universal Time, with a peak rate of 1000 per hour. As it turned out the actual peak occurred at 2:06 UT, which was remarkably close to the prediction! Interestingly, the actual rate was over 3000 per hour, so the prediction missed this by quite a bit. Enhanced rates continued from 2000-2002 and the predictions continued to show a high rate of success.
The asteroid material is so thinly distributed that multiple unmanned spacecraft have traversed it without incident.
1. If that thing came close enough to the earth could it alter our magnetic fields? Aren't they pretty weak right now?
2. Could it cause a pole shift?
2. How big is it? I've been googling all night and can't find anything on it's size.
3. With the comet traveling so close, would it cause a massive gravitational pull on the planets? Could it pull the planets or the moon out of their orbit.
4. Also, due to the close drive-by, would there be massive volcanoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes?
5. Elenin said "Comet Elenin's orbit may be unstable as it may encounter some dark bodies, for example, in the asteroid belt or even some Taurid objects. What would happen in those cases is a matter of luck." and "This comet may carry a significant amount of material with it and if it follows the currently projected orbit, the Earth may very well pass through this material." Huh? Dark bodies? Like dark matter? And Earth will travel through this material? What kind of material is he talking about? Could someone translate this? I'm not the brightest crayon in the box....

This is the time ALL religions and their calenders and their religious stories Begin,yes Begin in the sky again.Dim the sun/son and adams spear/ Atmosphere to see this once in a progression/lifetime event.Use stellarium and you will see what all of the chemtrails are covering up in the sky.Earth is the only planet on one side of this galaxy making all of the other religious/astronomical characters of all the religions visible from their respected airspace during this time.You will have to look from the four cardinal points to see all their religious stories are simply star charts.All religious stories about the "people" are the stars,planets,comets,and moon formations.Right About Yesterday the pope and all other "religious" figures are shaking scared that the sheeple don't find out about the 3/11/2011 thur 3/12/2011 events.the news dont say anything about this once in a progression/lifetime event.they just want us to look down at every thing happening on the ground, at our feet, under the gulf, etc.etc.etc.

Great find,. Yes, that would be the story,.
Thank you for the help,.
For me, this added a bit of more mystery to this "potential" event
that somebody may also have known about what was coming,.
