I just saw a 4 minute blurb on the TV news (no link).
An UNCONFIRMED report that Iran is moving it's missiles it "launch position".
What station was it? I'll see if I can find it. _________________ Live simply, love generously, care deeply, and speak kindly.

Thank you jbrovant for echoing my concern on the validity of the sources.
Now this one. FYI- I am simply searching Google news using the term Iran missile and sorting by date.

My apologies if this has been posted:
Report: U.S. 'preparing the battlefield' in Iran
" WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday.
An Iranian flag flies outside the building containing the reactor of Bushehr nuclear power plant, south of Tehran.

White House, CIA and State Department officials declined comment on Hersh's report, which appears in this week's issue of The New Yorker. "

Not sure if this has been posted due to multiple Iran threads, from an Iranian news agency:
Quote:
Iran to Control World's Bottleneck if Attacked
TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Iran will impose controls on shipping in the vital Persian Gulf oil transit route if it comes under attack.
"Naturally every country under attack by an enemy uses all its capacity and opportunities to confront the enemy. Regarding the main route for exiting energy, Iran will definitely act to impose control on the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz," IRGC commander-in-chief Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari told Jam-e Jam newspaper.
Israel and its staunch ally the United States have recently intensified their threats to launch military action against Iran to make Tehran drop what they allege to be a non-peaceful nuclear program, while a recent report by 16 US intelligence bodies endorsed the civilian nature of Iran's programs.

I'm somewhere between panic attack and nervous breakdown tonite as I read these headlines. I'm supposed to start a new job in the morning and my head says I should show up. My gut on the other hand is chanting....Time to bug out......time to bug out.....

The price of oil, being a relatively free market, probably reflects some expectations of war with Iran. To put it another way, if war was coming soon, you would probably see oil jump more than $10 in one day.
So show up for work, but check the price of oil when you are not busy. _________________ It's already over, now it's just a matter of adjusting.

Why wouldn't you show up for a job just because of this??
Unless you have an established place to go to where you can earn income or live sustainably on your own, it's best to go to work tomorrow. Most likely everything will be fine.
"Iran's foreign minister said on Sunday he did not believe Israel was in a position to attack his country over its nuclear program, while an Iranian general announced plans to prepare 320,000 graves for enemy soldiers."
I had to laugh when I read this. Talk about empty rhetoric! Ground forces are not involved in bombing raids so who do they plan to bury in 320,000 graves!!??? Starting to sound like that Iraqi official that was denying to the news media that the US had even attacked Iraq after the world was watching it on televisions.
Sounds like desperation on the part of the Iranians. Guess we will see who blinks first.
