Where will US troops go June 30th?

Vox Day at WorldNetDaily has some intriguing suspicions. In Unsettling signs, he combines a number of seemingly unrelated events, and offers the possibility of a war against Iran.

Quote: 'Such developments make the assertion of the anti-war Sydney Morning Herald appear less stratospheric, as it has claimed that a plan for an Iranian invasion was completed last May, involving attacks from Georgia and Azerbaijan as well as Iraq. Debka, an Internet news site which throughout the Iraqi war demonstrated itself to be rather more credible than the mainstream newspapers, noted on June 17 that Iran was building up its forces along a 350-km stretch of its border with Iraq.'

It is not all that unlikely. Iran's nuclear ambitions are a secret to no one. And it is clear that an Iran in possession of nuclear weapons would constitute a change in the balance of power in the region unacceptable to the US and her allies (Israel being foremost among them).

And now Iran has seized three small UK Navy patrol boats. Does Iran see what might be coming? Is it taking hostages again, in the hope of averting military confrontation? Did the boats constitute some kind of reconnaissance mission by the SAS or SBS, and were they caught because of some blunder?

It will be long before we find out. Unless another war breaks out in a few weeks.
I know I for one would not mind seeing another regime change. The Mad Mullahs are at least as dangerous as ol' Saddam ever was.
