Snip: <American officials are probing whether Georgia, situated just northwest of Iran, will allow Washington to use its military bases and airfields in the event of a military conflict with Teheran, The Jerusalem Post reported Monday citing an unnamed Georgian official.
The Americans have been putting out feelers, the source, a high-ranking Georgian government foreign affairs official said, in advance of a possible military strike to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.
American reports in recent months, speculating about the possibility of a campaign against Iran because of the failure of diplomatic efforts to thwart a potential nuclear weapons program, have suggested that sustained military action, rather than a single strike, may be required given the number of Iranian nuclear facilities, their divergent locations and Iranian defenses.
Georgian government officials said that Tbilisi fears harsh Iranian military retaliation against the Georgian republic if U.S. forces were to use its territory as a base for strikes against Iran, but nonetheless may feel obligated to accede to such a request, given the country’s heavy reliance on US aid and support. The US maintains its own military bases in Georgia. >
MOSCOW NEWS (http://www.mosnews.com/news/2006/02/20/irangeorgia.shtml)
I think this is someone everyone should prepare for. The U.S. has been slowly undermining the U.N. Just yesterday, John Bolton had some nasty words for Iran and of course, Condolense has made it a point to call out Iran anytime anyone sticks a mic in her face. Then yesterday we have this House vote.
All this despite our own intelligence agencies telling us that Iran is still 10+ years from having the uranium neccessary to build a nuclear device.
I'm gonna go ahead now and raise the IRAN war red flag.
These are steps I think everyone should be taking to protect themselves and their families:
1. Minimize your reliance on gasoline. Buy a bike, or a hybrid. Don't assume that limitless gasoline will always be readily available.
2. Minimize your expenses - sell your home if neccessary. (what good is a big suburban home if you can't get there?)
3. Get your FEMA emergency kits ready. (batteries, generator, gas, canned beans, emergency health kit)
4. Store enough water for at least a week. (buy some water decontamination pills as back-up or a good water filtration system that removes pathogens from tap water).
5. Learn to plant a garden. Plant things that you can sell or barter and that will still feed your family. Potatoe, tomato , beans...
6. Get government back to the community level. The system is broken, only trust those you know and those around you.
7. Take back the media. We'll need a new media that represents the best interest of the people. and not the corporate shills who write the checks.
8. Don't panick. Keep your head. Cuba was able to survive with less gas, and so can we.
9. If you can afford it, buy rural property with it's own water supply (well) now, were you can grow food, and safely shelter your family. Buy weapons to protect yourselfs.
10. God Bless Us all. We'll need it.
Good luck everyone!
