A Moscow Take on what BushCo Might Be Planning For Iran
http://www.profindpages.com/news/2005/06/16/MN983.htm

Al-Qaeda, Iran and the next 9/11

Is the USS Carl Vinson, the next 9/11 target?

The propaganda from the U.S. has been growing at an increasing rate against Iran, with attempts to tie them to al-Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden, other terrorists that hide there and of course nuclear weapons. Most people have come to accept that the Bush administration will be involved in an attack on Iran, the only question is when? We have seen for some time the so called "growing evidence" that the administration have provided, that is designed to convince others that Iran is a country that must be "dealt with."

...

But would the prescence of bin Laden and al-Zarqawi in Iran be enough to support an attack? We think not. We believe that there will be one more step before the Bush administration feel that they have "sold" the idea sufficiently, another 9/11. In our earlier articles on this subject (which were kept out of the main headlines), we suggested that the next 9/11 would come in the form of an attack on an Aircraft Carrier in the Persian Gulf (next to Iran).

USS America (an old Aircraft Carrier) was sunk in the Atlantic on the 14th May 2005, after 25 days of explosions. The Navy said that the explosive tests would provide valuable data on survivability for the next generation of Aircraft Carriers, which are now in development. This could of course be true, but it could also be a test to see what it takes to sink an Aircraft Carrier of this size. It is also difficult to understand how using "explosives" would help the design of future carriers, unless the Navy expect the enemy to place these on the ship somehow. Surely, a better test would be achieved by using weapons that are more likely to be used (like missiles for example?).

2. Iran supposedly has some kind of super-deluxe missile . . .
that is virtually unstoppable . . . and that can be used against battleships and aircraft carriers and such . . . given what we know about BushCo and what they're capable of, anything is possible . . .
