Bush to send warships to Lebanon
Hezbollah’s takeover of Lebanon has deeply humiliated israel and its U.S. puppet. Therefore the Bush regime will send warships to the eastern Mediterranean as a show of support for the March 14 alliance.
Already floating off Lebanon is the USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer that was attacked in 2000 off Yemen, killing 17 U.S. sailors. The USA blamed the attack on “al-Qaeda.”
The USS Cole is accompanied by two refueling ships, and will be joined by the Nassau strike group, consisting of troop carriers, three more guided missile destroyers, and a submarine. This will be the largest American naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean in many years.
The Bush regime hopes the warships will demonstrate continued support for the israeli puppet prime minister Fouad Siniora, who is now cowering inside the government palace in Beirut.
“Bush has done Hizbullah a huge favor," says Amal Saad-Ghorayeb of the Carnegie Endowment's Middle East Center in Beirut. "The naval presence is a sign of U.S. political bankruptcy. Having failed to achieve anything in Lebanon, all they have left is impotent muscle-flexing."
Hezbollah’s victory has likewise humiliated the ruling al-Saud family in Arabia, which supports the pro-zionist March 14 alliance in Lebanon. Last week, the al-Saud family transferred their ambassador in Damascus to Qatar, and urged Arabian citizens to leave Lebanon. Saudi King Abdullah hinted that he will not attend the Arab League summit hosted by Damascus at the end of the month. The king hopes his boycott of the annual event will encourage other Arab heads of state to stay away, thereby embarrassing Syria.

Washington is so humiliated by Hezbollah that former CIA officer Philip Guaraldi says the National Security Council has agreed in principle to attack positions in far off Iran, which the Bush regime claims are Hezbollah strongholds.
The White House contacted the Iranian government directly through a channel provided by the Kurdish al-Barzani clan, which rules northern Iraq. The US demanded that Iran admit it has been interfering in Iraq, and also commit to taking steps to end the support of various resistance groups. The US also threatened Iran concerning Hezbollah’s victory in Lebanon.
The Iranian government said it would not discuss the matter until the US stops funding terrorist groups inside Iran. On 12 April one of those terrorist groups exploded a bomb outside at the Rahpuyan-e Vessal cultural center, which is part of the Seyyed-ul-Shohada Mosque complex, located in a residential area of Shiraz (560 miles south of Tehran). Thirteen people were killed, and over 200 wounded.
Guaraldi says Iran’s indifference, coupled with Hezbollah’s victory in Lebanon, convinced the White House that a signal must be sent to Iran, perhaps in the form of cruise missiles.

President Teddy Roosevelt's motto was to "Walk softly and carry a big stick", back when US imperialism was taking over from Spain and stealing her former colonies.
Now days, with the buffoon Bush and the lunatic Cheney swaggering about like two, out of control chimpanzees on meth, Bush and Cheney like to thrust their phallic symbolism, represented by the guns and missiles sticking out of US warships, into every corner of the ME, naturally, the places that the most paranoid nation on the planet, Israel, has declared to be an "existential" enemy.
We have lost control of our government completely.
Control that was initially lost when our "friend", Israel, savagely attacked the USS LIberty w/o any repercussions, thereby telling Israel that America was for the taking.
Since the Zionists have complete control of DC, there's no telling what will happen in the ME and Lebanon, except more Israel mandated and American funded wars.
