oh, USS Enterprise, say it ain't so

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.02.03

The Americans have just sailed the USS Enterprise into the Persian Gulf - this strikes me as odd.

The ship's 60 days from retirement, and they move it into position between Iran and Israel? They wouldn't, perhaps, be thinking that it might be effective to simply scuttle the thing and blame Iran for it?

Pity that it has eight nuclear power plants aboard. Let's hope nothing causes them to start leaking from the bottom of the Gulf.

There's no flag like a false flag....
