Why Are There Four Carriers In The Persian Gulf?

A short article I read on rense.com:

“There Are Four US Carriers In The Gulf

November 7, 2006,

On Oct. 31, the two nuclear-powered carriers, the USS Eisenhower and USS Enterprise, arrived in Bahrain, accompanied by their carrier strike groups. On Nov 9th, the USS Iwo Jima, and the USS Boxer also arrived. The presence of these carriers, combined with Israel's talk of a Iranian strike, sort of makes a person wonder if Bush is up to something. Assault Carriers and Full carriers

This is an odd predicament No one will stand for another invasion, with thousands of dead US servicemen. If America was to attack, it will be nuclear, but something needs to happen to enrage the US public to allow nukes.

If Israel attacked Iran, and Iran nuked Tel Aviv, half the world would celebrate, and the other half would be holding back the chuckles.

The only workable scenario If Bush plans on going into Iran, there must be a massive attack on the Fifth Fleet, or a nuke in an American city. The trouble is - Israel knows it too.”

My own comment on the situation:

1. Iran cannot nuke Tel Aviv because it doesn’t have nukes and in any case wouldn’t be insane enough to do so as this would invite massive retaliation on the part of the Israelis who do have nukes.

2. It could be said that if the Bush administration (or Israel, as it did against the USS Liberty in the 60s) carried out a “false flag operation” against any of these ships, or against an American city, then the world would see it for what it was, with the resulting anti-war feeling both in the States and worldwide, but my fear is that not enough people are aware of the truth about 9/11 for this to be the case. While a majority of Americans believe that the government is hiding something about 9/11, those who actually believe it was an inside job are still, despite what Alex Jones says, in a minority.

3. That is why it is so important to educate people about 9/11 and to do so now. If the Bush administration (or the Israelis) carry out a false flag operation to provoke a nuclear attack on Iran, they know they must so soon, before the truth about 9/11 finally catches up on the American public.

4. We are probably not talking about the kind of bombs used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but relatively clean, low-yield nuclear bombs which the US military may have been developing over the last few years and which would have to be used to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities as conventional weapons would not do the job.

5. The authors final point is very worrying, especially in view of the Israeli attack against the USS Liberty.
