Are the powers that be not going to be satisfied until all heck breaks loose?
Hasn't Isreal already told us that they don't need the USA to help them?
This is getting a little ridiculous if you ask me!
Oil, power, greed...I am so tired of this, let's put the powers that be in a cage match and let them duke it out, save thousands if not millions of lives.

Obama has a re election and voter problems , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has people problems , Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu has people problems, It has been suggested weeks ago that this whole Hormuz situation has been cooked up between the three countries to push the price of crude up and also take the internal home flack off the
leaders.
Before everyone says , well how does this fly for Iran , well who are we to say that the US and Israel and the EU have not got a financial plan in place to compensate Iran behind closed doors, while to the outside world Iran is seen to be punished.........KERCHING everyone is a winner except normal hard working people the world over.
This rhetoric that Saudi and the like have enough crude to cover the loss of Iranian crude makes sense , BUT why do I hear the words down the line , we are running low on crude people of the world , SORRY the price will be going up.
Any NWO obsessive would say that this situation is perfect for heaping on the pressure to the little people, making them soft and docile to anything there leaders have to say.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday endorsed direct U.S.-Taliban talks and the establishment of a Taliban office in Qatar to facilitate negotiations.
A statement issued by Karzai’s office couched his blessing in the government’s desire to “eliminate the foreigner’s excuses for and actions to continue war and bloodshed in Afghanistan.”
The implied criticism of U.S. military forces, which Karzai has accused of killing innocents in air attacks and night raids on Afghan villages by Special Operations troops, was something “he had to issue for internal reasons,” an Obama administration official said. “We get that.”
In the past, Karzai has also complained that the United States was working behind his back in informal talks with the Taliban that began in the spring. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive relationship, said the Obama administration was prepared to ignore Karzai’s “digs” in exchange for the statement’s positive elements.

Troops being deployed to Israel are for when the sh*t hits the fan, because if the U.S. moves in on Iran, Russia and some other islamic countries are going to try to pound the sh*t out of Israel to cause a war on several fronts and you really don't want your troops spread thin like that because that is disaster. Logically the reason the troops that left Iraq are going to afghanistan to hit them from that side while our navy takes the straight of Hormuz to deliver air and naval support so we can establish a beachead on Iranian soil where our Marines will go in from that side and the 101st Airborne will probably come in from afghanistan. Thats what i would do. Its a classical battle strategy called a "nutcracker" and Iran ends up being the nut.

1. They're threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil exporting site. This won't only affect the United States, but a majority of the world.
2. They're threatening military action against the United States for traveling in the Strait of Hormuz which is AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW of free travel during Maritime. The US also has a naval base in Manama, Bahrain, which is accessed through the strait of Hormuz.
So basically Iran is trying to tell the US where they can/can't travel, and attempting to deny them access to their naval base.
The US will not fire the first shot.
