ぶらっと横横で厨子を越えて、三崎を経て城ヶ島へ。三崎ではやはりまぐろ。まぐろのズケ丼が実に美味。で、油壺へ回って、海岸でボーっと。この時間が実に贅沢。葉山を経由して、一日、海風を浴びてきました。

・The Drumbeats of War with Iran are getting Louder
31 Jul 2010 06:18
Dire signs in ramping up of rhetoric, military preparations.One might think that this is nothing more than rhetoric and psychological warfare. Yet persistent reports for the past two months indicate that the United States has stepped up covert operations and preparations for action against Iran. There have been credible reports that American forces have been concentrating around the Persian Gulf and the Caucasus, most remarkably in Azerbaijan. There have also been reports of Israeli activities in Azerbaijan, and of the U.S. and Israeli air forces practicing joint bombing drills. Add the fact that the United States recently increased the number of its carrier strike groups opposite Iran to three, and one gets a terrifying picture of what might happen.

・Assad: Chances of war increasing

On Syrian military's 65th anniversary, president warns regional peace 'slipping away.' Anyone who thinks Damascus will negotiate return of Golan is delusional, he adds.
Ahead of the 65th anniversary of the establishment of his country's military, Syrian President Bashar Assad published a statement Sunday morning in which he addressed the situation in the Middle East and said, "Real peace in the region is slipping away and the chances of war and conflict are increasing."

・Mullen says US has Iran strike plan, just in case
Sunday Aug. 1, 2010
WASHINGTON – The U.S. military has a plan to attack Iran, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday, although he thinks a military strike is probably a bad idea.
Not long after Adm. Mike Mullen's aired on a Sunday talk show, the deputy chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guard was quoted as saying there would be a strong Iranian response should the U.S. take military action against his country.
Mullen, the highest ranking U.S. military officer, often has warned that a strike on Iran would have serious and unpredictable ripple effects around the Middle East. At the same time, Mullen said the risk of Iran's developing a nuclear weapon is unacceptable, although he would not say which risk he thinks is worse.
"I think the military options have been on the table and remain on the table," Mullen said on "Meet the Press" on NBC. "It's one of the options that the president has. Again, I hope we don't get to that, but it's an important option and it's one that's well understood."
