WWIII, nuclear winter, all that jazz takes another step
Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Mon Feb 4 00:53:42 2008 edf40wrjww2msgDetailOT:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d An American missile ship set to dock at Haifa Port on Monday is equipped with an anti-missile defense system that could be deployed in the region in the event of an Iranian missile attack against Israel. The USS San Jacinto is an AEGIS cruiser in the Ticonderoga Class and was commissioned in 1988. It carries the most advanced underwater surveillance system available today and is equipped with the AEGIS missile defense system, which was developed by Lockheed Martin to protect against aircraft and missiles. The ship will remain in Haifa for three days. While the IDF developed and operates the Arrow missile defense system, defense officials said Israel has expressed interest in the AEGIS and that last year, the Defense Ministry requested information on the system from the Pentagon. During the first Gulf War in 1991, the US deployed Patriot missile batteries in Israel to defend the country against Iraqi Scud missiles. Defense analysts said the decision to dock at Haifa could also be part of a growing competition between the United States and Russia over military control in the Middle East. Russia recently decided to reestablish its naval presence in the region at Tartus, Syria. In recent months, Syria has begun renovations at the port to facilitate the docking of large Russian Navy ships. [lucky them, I bet their RR is far better than in Kuwait] ========= Iran's Foreign Ministry [threw a tantrum to] the French ambassador Sunday to protest the European country's policy toward Teheran's nuclear program, state media reported France has been a vocal supporter of a new round of sanctions against Iran for the country's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, a process that can produce fuel for a nuclear reactor or fissile material for a bomb. "In the meeting (with the French ambassador), Iran protested France's policy toward Iran's peaceful nuclear activities," said a report on the Web site of Iran's state broadcasting company. Earlier Sunday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini accused French President Nicolas Sarkozy of open hostility toward Iran. ==== In other words, you can be President and have speeches in front of a nuclear plant about enriching and wiping countries off the map, and imperial ambitions, but if you ever question those "peaceful" activities of a country that's threatened the Netherlands over a 10 minute film, you're now hostile? bizzaros

And they're enriching uranium for what reason, now?

It's not as if it wouldn't be possible to sink it, should anyone actually want to nuke Israel. Maybe it's the doomsday device...

You don't post the source, pro-iranian posters will act like it's fabricated in their wild conspiracy theories. I also saw photos this January of a mini-aircraft carrier parked at the same port, a story that the US sold senstive parts to Syria, and today it looks like two scums of the earth snuck through Egypt to blow themselves up. It's like 1984 with the fake news. I don't care, some opaque people won't like it either way, it's not worth the bother.
