Comments on: Pentagon: Iranians Harassed Navy Ships
U.S. Captain Nearly Opened Fire; Iran Calls Incident "Something Normal"
- In the Daily telegraph, July 22, 2006 Condoleeza Rice stated her main objective in the middle east was not to push a ceasefire in Lebanon, but to cause an isolation of Syria and Iran. The strategic objective is all tied to oil and oil pipelines.
The Israel Turkey pipeline has been in the works for some time now. In April of 2006 Israel & Turkey made their announcement which included four pipelines which will bypass Syria & Lebanon. The source of the oil is the BTC pipeline from the Caspian Sea Region. Shareholders in the BTC pipeline are: British Petroleum, AzBTC, Chevron, Statoil, TPAO, ENI, Total, Itochu, INPEX, ConocoPhillips & Amerada Hess. Another very important factor on the war with Lebanon is that Israel will have a strategic role in protecting the pipeline and transportation corridor out of Ceyhan Turkey. The strategy will weaken Russian oil''s role in central asia and also isolate Iran. - Reply to this comment
- Nothing has changed on Iran. The administrations interest in Iran & nukes is a smoke screen for their real agenda. Their true interests are Cheney''s energy policy.Condi Rice is a former board member of Chevron Oil and mouthpiece for the administrations energy policy. Part of that policy is the The Caspian Sea pipeline which will go through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,Pakistan, to the gulf of Oman and on to India & Nepal.It will be cheaper to construct if they can go through Iran, but regime change is necessary first. The Caspian sea area holds one third of the world''s oil and south asian oil markets are their target market. This pipeline was also the reason for the Afghanistan invasion. Cheney''''s energy policy is the root of all these middle east wars, a federal court judge sealed all documents associated with it for the administration, and the national media are not allowed to discuss or comment on it. More troops are needed in Afghanistan to protect the contractors building the pipeline. Iran stands in the way of total control of global oil now with sales of oil to China''''s Sinopec Oil,deal signed Dec.10,2007. Months ago China said there would be dire consequences if the US interfered with there direct oil contracts with Iran. Both parties in the Congress should be very concerned with China''s growing war machine and need for oil. They are the real threat & the administration doesn''t care they are in control! All that matters to them is BIG OIL and their corporate stock portfolios .

And you can''t see history repeating itself here?
Two U.S. warship attacked by hostile boats off the coast of......
Next came, we must defend by attacking the nation of.....
While I am all for the U.S. defending itself anywhere in the world. I really don''t like it poking another nation in the eye. They will soon get tired of it and fight. In some ways I get a feeling we are doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia. - Reply to this comment

- I''ve been reading some of the Arab press and the word "harrasment" is preceded by "allege" and "supposed". The Iranians are describing what happened as an "incident" or a "situation".
It seems the US Navy ships got close to the waters of Iran, Iran in turn send some ships to check them out.
In other words, the US is looking like a police bully who taser someone for looking at him the wrong way.
Do you guys even care how foolish you look in all of this by screaming "harrasment!" like a 13 year-old princess? - Reply to this comment
- I don''t get it why do they act like this and are we sure that it is true. What we have seen in the last few years has made me question everything.
Maybe it is what it is supposed to be the world governments are to blame along with religions they have jumped in bed once again with each other and are trying to control with hate and fear. - Reply to this comment
- I remember a time when The United States of America was the undisputed leader and advocate of human rights.
I remember a time when the United States could be trusted.
I remember a time when we were respected.
I remember a time when we were admired, even by most of our enemies.
But the fascist Bush and his henchmen, including Cheney, Feinstein, Rockefeller, and Pelosi, have erased all of that.
We are now just another simple police state, which Americans, just like the Germans, recognized too late.
