You’re trying to promote truth to people who can’t understand how that could possibly happen.

If movement could have been detected suggesting the Japanese’s imminent attack on Pearl Harbor, should we have acted first? Or, just waited until their swarm of planes were on top of us dropping bombs?

Interested to read some of your answers.

False. I’ll bookmark and we can circle back to this after there is no war with Iran.

Satellite images of military tractor trailer convoys moving that way right before the invasion.

Yes.

Some folks believe we did know it was coming and let it happen anyway. The war had been going on since 1939, but we didn't declare war until after Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Shortly before Operation Iraqi Freedom began, however, there were signs that the convoys indeed might not have been carrying chemical weapons, USA Today reported. U.N. weapons inspectors who had visited the sites where the convoys were photographed found no traces of biological or chemical weapons. In addition, they also found no sign of decontamination trucks (John Diamond, USA Today, Feb. 4).

During his U.N. Security Council presentation last year, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell cited the presence of decontamination trucks outside of suspected chemical weapons bunkers (see GSN, Feb. 6. 2002; Mike Nartker, GSN). Since the war, the four high-ranking intelligence officials said, no decontamination trucks have been found.

U.S. intelligence analysts were unsure, both prior to the invasion and now, about where the eight convoys were traveling to and from, nor do they know exactly what they were carrying, according to USA Today.

“We couldn’t get a destination,” a top intelligence official said. “We tried and tried and tried. We never could figure that out,” the official added (Diamond, USA Today).

Real time satellite don't lie. Neither do U-2s at 80000ft. And we weren't the only ones, the French had very solid intel as well.

cannot wrap my head around the idea that Iran would be dumb enough to do this. There is just no way you actively choose the annihilation of your homeland by attacking a country that dwarfs you in every single way.


You simply do not understand the dogma of Islam, be it Shia or Sunni. They be some dumb MFers for the most part.

Thoughts from a twitter account that follows this stuff closely:

quote:

I think my main worry re: US v Iran tensions is that there is this timer in the background that may be counting down. When the timer reaches zero the US takes out the ballistic missile sites in Iraq and wipes out the Iran-backed ground launch crews & possibly Iranian advisers.

If reports do turn out to be accurate about ballistic missiles in hands of Iran-backed Shia militias in Iraq, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pompeo told the Iraqi PM last week that they need to be removed ASAP or the US will act. In prep for this the US & others are evacuating staff.

But that’s just my opinion and speculation when reading between the lines of the info we have right now.

That is also likely the reason for the unplanned B-52 & Patriot battery deployment and bringing the planned carrier strike group deployment forward by 2-3 weeks imo.\\

That is, in addition to the general psychological warfare campaign and pressure tactics that Washington is using on Iran rn regarding its nuke program.
