'We Are Going To Hit Iran...Bigtime

Body:

From: All my HEROES have FBI Files!!!Date: Sep 2, 2007 10:14 PM (vegemini)<-----------Thanks to this patriot right hereI

have a friend who is an LSO on a carrier attack group that is planning

and staging a strike group deployment into the Gulf of Hormuz. (LSO:

Landing Signal Officer- she directs carrier aircraft while landing) She

told me we are going to attack Iran. She said that all the Air

Operation Planning and Asset Tasking are finished. That means that all

the targets have been chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific

aircraft, bases, carriers, missile cruisers and so forth.I asked her why she is telling me this.Her answer was really amazing.She

started in the Marines and after 8 years her term was up. She had

served on a smaller Marine carrier, and found out through a friend knew

there was an opening for a junior grade LSO in a training position on a

supercarrier. She used the reference and the information and applied

for a transfer to the United States Navy. Since she had experience

landing F-18Cs and Cobra Gunships, and an unblemished combat record,

she was ratcheted into the job, successfully changing from the Marines

to the Navy. Her role is still aligned with the Marines since she

generally is assigned to liason with the Marine units deploying off her

carrier group.Like most Marines and former Marines, she is

largely apolitical. The fact is, most Marines are trigger pullers and

most trigger pullers could care less who the President is. They simply

want to be the tip of the sword when it comes to defending the country.

She voted once in her life and otherwise was always in some forward

post on the water during election season.Something is wrong

with the Navy and the Marines in her view. Always ready to go in harms

way, Marines rarely ever question unless it's a matter of tactics or

honor. But something seems awry. Junior and senior officers are

starting to grumble, roll their eyes in the hallways. The strain of

deployments is beginning to hit every jot and tittle of the Marines and

it's beginning to seep into the daily conversation of Marines and Naval

officers in command decision."I know this will sound crazy

coming from a Naval officer", she said. "But we're all just waiting for

this administration to end. Things that happen at the senior officer

level seem more and more to happen outside of the purview of XOs and

other officers who typically have a say-so in daily combat and flight

operations. Today, orders just come down from the mountaintop and

there's no questioning. In fact, there is no discussing it. I have seen

more than one senior commander disappear and then three weeks later we

find out that he has been replaced. That's really weird. It's also

really weird because everyone who has disappeared has questioned

whether or not we should be staging a massive attack on Iran.""We're

not stupid. Most of the members of the fleet read well enough to know

what is going on world-wise. We also realize that anyone who has any

doubts is in danger of having a long military career yanked out from

under them. Keep in mind that most of the people I serve with are happy

to be a part of the global war on terror. It's just that the touch

points are what we see since we are the ones out here who are

supposedly implementing this grand strategy. But when you liason with

administration officials who don't know that Iranians don't speak

Arabic and have no idea what Iranians live like, then you start having

second thoughts about whether these Administration officials are even

competent."I asked her about the attack, how limited and so forth."I

don't think it's limited at all. We are shipping in and assigning every

damn Tomahawk we have in inventory. I think this is going to be massive

and sudden, like thousands of targets. I believe that no American will

know when it happens until after it happens. And whatever the

consequences, whatever the consequences, they will have to be lived

with. I am sure if my father knew I was telling someone in a news

organization that we were about to launch a supposedly secret attack

that it would be treason. But something inside me tells me to tell it

anyway."I asked her why she was suddenly so cynical."I

have become cynical only recently. I also don't believe anyone will be

able to stop this. Bush has become something of an Emperor. He will

give the command, and cruise missiles will fly and aircraft will fly

and people will die, and yet few of us here are really able to cobble

together a great explanation of why this is a good idea. Of course many

of us can give you the 4H Club lecture on democracy in the Mid East.

But if you asked any of the flight officers whether they have a clear

idea of what the goal of this strike is, your answer would sound like

something out of a think tank policy paper. But it's not like Kosovo or

when we relieved the tsunami victims. There everyone could tell you in

a sentence what we were here doing.""That's what's missing.

A real sense of purpose. What's missing is the answer to what the hell

are we doing out here threatening this country with all this power?

Last night in the galley, an ensign asked what right do we have to tell

a sovereign nation that they can't build a nuke. I mean the table got

EF Hutton quiet. Not so much because the man was asking a question that

was off culture. But that he was asking a good question. In fact, the

discussion actually followed afterwards topside where someone in our

group had to smoke a cigarette. The discussion was intelligent but also

in lowered voices. It's like we aren't allowed to ask the questions

that we always ask before combat. It's almost as if the average seaman

or soldier is doing all the policy work."She had to hang

up. She left by telling me that she believes the attack is a done deal.

"It's only a matter of time before their orders come and they will be

sent to station and told to go to Red Alert. She said they were already

practicing traps, FARP and FAST." (Trapping is the act of catching the

tension wires when landing on the carrier, FARP is Fleet Air Combat

Maneuvering Readiness Program- practice dogfighting- and FAST is Fleet

Air Superiority Training).She seemed lost. The first time

in my life I have ever heard her sound off rhythm, or unsure of why she

is doing something. She knows that there is something rotten in the

Naval Command and she, like many of her associates are just hoping that

the election brings in someone new, some new situation, or something."Yes.

We're gong to hit Iran, bigtime. Whatever political discussion that are

going in is window dressing and perhaps even a red herring. I see

what's going on below deck here in the hangars and weapons bays. And I

have a sick feeling about how it's all going to turn out."Thanks Project awaken and others ----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------From: Project AwakenDate: Sep 2, 2007 6:28 PMRE: "We are Going to Hit Iran...
