Will this situation give more reason to be more critical of US. If US will be a part of any attack on Iran it will give more people in the world bigger reason to hate US. Ask any Norwegian on the street and the same answer will be given. It is time for the US to stop interfeering in adder country.

US government's activity in the Gulf region, what to expect? Just imagine a weasel working to keep its hegemonic control of the region. The worst to expect is they start another war with Iran as Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan aren't enough.

What expect depends on what side one is one: For Russia this is test whether it can resist U.S imperialism or be seduced by Obama empty brilliant broad smile or it can say no to the bombing of Iran. Medvedev has already dropped the ball on this when he gave unfocused and timed response to CNN reporter when he failed to give a firm position where Russia stands with respect to U.S/Israel plan to bomb Iran but China is asserting its position more firmly. Still, I feel Russia will take a firm stand on U.S/Israel plan to invade Iran. This deployment is nothing more than rhetorical show- it is a show of force but Iran will not blink!

This, added to many other events prove than Obama is really a forgery. There is no sincerity in that man. He is just a cynical comedian. As I said, since his election; he has been placed in that job to be the smoke' screen, hiding the US financial fiasco. It has worked perfectly. Obama has bluffed everybody on Earth; including Mr Medvedev and Lavrov. Look at the military budgets of the main nations and Obama's new priorities. Russian leaders have the choice: taking a piece of the military cake or exposing the true realities. It seems easier to understand on which side are the Russian leaders. Just wait and see to know who is right ! Sorry Future Generations. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

What I heard must have been true.  Iran was the real target all along.  Occupy Iran from three sides and then take them out.  Perhaps Israel is pulling the strings here?  On the other side of the pond, is you look at what is happening here in the states, it seems that we are preparing for a major war, perhaps a world war.
