It's coming

War with Iran is coming.

The U.S. military has stepped up chartering of tankers and requests for extra fuel in the U.S. Central Command area, which includes the Gulf, shipping and oil industry sources say. A Gulf oil industry source said the charters suggested there would be high naval activity, possibly including a demonstration to Iran that the U.S. Navy will protect the Strait of Hormuz oil shipping route during tensions over Tehran's nuclear programme.

That crazy idiot is really going to start a war with Iran.

When we were driving around this weekend, we were listening to NPR news and at one point, we heard something about a bombing in Baghdad and some staid and serious general of the army type came on and said "after much forensic study and so forth, we have ascertained that the attack was conducted by an Iranian-backed force" or something to that effect and it just sounded so, well, LIKE A LIE. It's a total frame-up. No specification of whether it was the Iranian GOVERNMENT or some terrorist group from within Iran that worked without the consent of the Iranian government. No. It was just "Iranian-backed" whatever, inferring of course that it COULD be the Iranian government. Mr. Vidiot and I were like "Oh shit. They REALLY do want a war with Iran."

Oh.

My.

God.
