One Way To Render Those Subpoenas Moot
There are some interesting news reports concerning the middle east which, taken together, don't look very promising.
Despite denying any bad tidings between the two countries, Russia is evacuating workers and technicians away from the Bushehr nuclear power plant. They know something we don't?
The Jerusalem Post is reporting that foreign embassies in Tehran are getting a little nervous:
"Embassies in all countries generally have evacuation plans for their staff, but foreign sources describe the general atmosphere in Iran as one of heightened preparedness. Recently, several diplomatic missions based in Teheran have begun to reassess their plans, and embassies without permanent security officers have requested them."
Yet, that's the JPost and it's filed under the header "Iranian Threat", so a grain of salt is in order.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard started a weeklong series of war games in the crowded Persian Gulf yesterday.
The US is throwing it's weight around and is now threatening companies and nations with unilateral sanctions if they do business with Iran.
After Cheney went to AIPAC and virtually promised that american soldiers would march into Tehran another world class scumbag opens his piehole to threaten war. They just won't shut up about Iran.
Of course the dreadful denouement of this drama would have a salutary effect on the bushistas' tanking political fortunes, being a war hero president and all, but that would never, ever cross their minds.
Update - Gulf ofTonkin Persia Incident this morning?
"BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - British forces said on Friday there had been "an incident" in the northern Arabian Gulf after an Iraqi sailor reported seeing up to seven British or American military personnel being seized by an Iranian ship.
(...)
The sailor said six or seven foreign military personnel were on two small boats that stopped to check two Iranian ships in the Siban area of the waterway, near the al-Faw peninsula that leads into the northern Arabian Gulf.
While they were doing this, an Iranian naval vessel pulled alongside and detained them. There was no sign of any violent confrontation, he said"
