I anticipate a definite invasion of Iran. The recent events in Georgia have been orchestrated not only to secure the U.S.-Backed Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline but are I believe a prelude to an invasion of Iran.

Moscow is losing its positions in the Caucasus more and more... American colonels are now in command of Georgia. They spent a total of $ 150 million to install Saakashvili and overthrow Shevardnadze and Abashidze, Being intoxicated with the victory in [Georgian capital] Tbilisi and [Adjarian capital] Batumi, Saakashvili is now going to start making advances on Sukhumi (Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia), and then on Tskhinvali (South Ossetia).

The quasi-independence of Abkhazia, Adzharia and South Ossetia gives Russia a foothold in Georgia, which controls the road and rail links to Armenia, a key Russian ally and host to Russian military bases. Not surprisingly, Moscow insists that Tbilisi must agree not to forcibly annex these regions before a deal can be reached on the bases.

With the buying of Georgia comes the not unexpected opposition demands to oust the Armenian president, Robert Kocharian.

Watch for Bush to keep troops in Iraq and a concentrated effort to bring Armenia under U.S. dominance thus securing Iran’s northern border.

The war with Iran has already begun as the U.S. jockeys for position. This will be the beginning of the world war Woolsey said we would have to spend years and maybe decades waging, the broader agenda they don't want to talk about yet.

I would not get too excited about the casualties we have seen so far, they have only been practicing. -Am





Thousands Protest Against Armenian President

Saturday, 15 May 2004


15 May 2004 -- Several thousand Armenian opposition supporters protested in the streets of the capital Yerevan late on 14 May to demand the resignation of President Robert Kocharian.


Interfax reported that police estimated no more than 4,000 people participated in the peaceful demonstration, while organizers claim 30,000 people attended the rally.

The protest was the latest in a series of demonstrations since last month. Opposition members says Kocharian rigged a presidential runoff in March 2003 to secure a second term in office and is demanding that he either organize a national referendum of confidence in his rule or step down.

Kocharian was in Moscow for talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov during the protest.

But several of the hawks outside the administration who had pressed for war with Iraq have moved to the next step. R. James Woolsey, a former director of central intelligence, said Wednesday that Iraq was the opening of a "fourth world war," and that U.S. enemies included the fundamentalist religious rulers in Iran, states such as Syria and Islamic terrorist groups.
Woolsey seemed to be speaking for at least some in the administration. But Bush's aides will not discuss the future – yet.
"We don't want to talk about a broader agenda now," one of his aides said. "It's not the time. The time will come."
