put into perspective of Georgian state TV's seemingly bizarre "joke" of broadcasting a fake new item that Russia was attacking the country in the last week, is the transferring of "bunker buster" armaments to the UK controlled Diego Garcia just a point of brinkmanship or are they intent on finally going into Iran?

I know you're not a big believer in official explanations.

But really, given the spat with Israel,don't you think this has as much to do with "punishing" Israel as it does with threatening Iran?

i would edit)not use the descriptive "punishing" as it implies too much of a victim like posture onto Israel.

But there is certainly a case to be argued for your point.

I simply found it ominous in it's potential import when juxtaposed with this truly bizarre incident from Georgian state television.

Israel is also very interested in the region containing Georgia too.

Possibly this is some way a tip of the hat towards the Heartland Theooy of Mackinder that Brezinski and Kissinger, to name a just a couple, place subscription to.

I think the word "geopolitic" was coined from that theory.

What about the people that had to leave Diego Garcia and are now living in total misery? Can we get to talk about them in order to trash El Império once again?

We just had a new moon on the 15th. The next is on April 14th. However if I am reading the charts right, the moon sets in Iran at midnight on March 22 and 1AM on March 23. I think it is unlikely that Obama will attack this month A) before healthcare passes and B) ahead of his much delayed Asian trip. April is another story. BTW the new moon is April 14th, one day before tax day. The moon sets at 0037 on April 21 and 0119 on April 22.

This is based on coordinates for Tehran: E051 30, N35 40 and 3.5 h east of Greenwich.
