<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>These so
called naval exercises can’t be a good sign. Supposedly, the “war
games” are a warning to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iran</st1:country-region>
that the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>
can and will “protect” the maritime environment and the “link”
to the global economy. Of course, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> is supposed to be holding 15
Britons who are accused of trespassing in Iranian waters. We’re not
hearing a whole lot about that at all. Naval Commander Aandahl says if there is
any destabilization in the region it will be <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s fault. Of course it
will. The <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>
government and the U.S. Navy aren’t culpable at all with respect to
destabilizing the region. [smirk]<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I really
believe the <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> government
is stepping up military exercises in the Persian Gulf as a build up to an
attack on <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Iran</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
I believe they are baiting <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
Watch out for any false flag operations in the <st1:place w:st="on">Persian
Gulf</st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
