NOBLE RESOLVE 08, DIABLO BRAVO 08, EMPIRE CHALLENGE 08, OPERATION

BRIMSTONE, IMMEDIATE RESPONSE 2008, AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY SPECIAL

EVENT (JUL TO AUG 2008)
FOCUS DATES: 28JUL - ???

UPDATE #15 8AUG08

RON PAUL 6Aug: “The sad part is a lot of people won’t be surprised….it’s tragic, it’s sad, all
we have to do is have one of our ships hit and a bunch of Americans killed and one or two news
stations say it was the Iranians and the country’s going to be ready to go to war, they’d even be
willing to call a draft to say we have to go to save Israel, we have to march in, so we need a draft
- that’s the worst part that I fear.”

Draft

Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago. The well exercised forces are now enroute to
form a massive naval armada in the Middle East!

OHIO EMERGENCY RESPONSE DRILL 11-15Aug

General Lee 7Aug: “The JTF73 as a headquarters provides the citizens of Ohio with an all-hazard
military response. Establishing and demonstrating Full Operational Capability (FOC) assures our
adjutant general that we have the baseline skills to effectively manage our units in an emergency.
It is all about preparedness and our mission is to be prepared for a no-notice, any-time, any-where
response.” FOC is a military term meaning a unit is judged ready for operational engagement!

UPDATE #14 7AUG08

BARAK 7Aug: "We need to keep every option open. "If they provoke us, or they attack us, our
army is prepared to attack and to succeed uncompromisingly."
RICE 7Aug: "We don't say yes or no to Israeli military operations. Israel is a sovereign country,"
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1009504.html

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has suspended a procurement for the upcoming
Top Officials (TopOff) 5 national disaster drill to investigate allegations of improprieties in the
contracting process, said FEMA Administrator R. David Paulison.
http://www.washingtontechnology.com/online/1_1/33256-1.html

Kuwait began finalizing its "emergency war plan” on being told the vessels were bound for the
region. The US Navy would neither confirm nor deny that carriers were en route. US Fifth Fleet
Combined Maritime Command located in Bahrain said it could not comment due to what a
spokesman termed "force-protection policy."

UPDATE #13 3AUG08

I wish I could say that since the focus dates for these overlapping exercises has expired (1Aug
now changed to ???) that the threat has also, but I cannot! The Mid-Summer Alert is still valid
and the powers that be will not stop their fear mongering, threat making, and war drumbeating
until they are removed from power, as is evidenced by the following magazine cover story:

Terrorists Planning Major Attacks: The 30 Most Unthinkable Targets in America

http://w3.newsmax.com/a/dec07/?s=al&promo_code=66EA-1

UPDATE #12 1AUG08

It seems again the pressure on attacking Iran (driven by Israeli and certain US leadership) is
re-created with smoke and mirrors to deceive the American public into believing that an attack
is warranted, time critical, and necessary!! Don’t even think about the NIE or the IAEA and
Iran’s sovereign right to pursue peaceful nuclear power….

HERSH 1Aug (Speaking about alleged Cheney meeting on creating Iran False Flag): There was a
dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why
don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats.
Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of
Hormuz, start a shoot-up.

MOFAZ Statements 1Aug (Israel Trans Minister) "He (Mofaz) urged the Americans to set firm
conditions, such as a refusal to allow the Iranians to enrich uranium on their turf," Reuters quoted
Mofaz spokeswoman Talia Somech as saying on Friday. She added that Mofaz took the
opportunity to advise Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
against direct US-Iran talks, demanding that 'all options against Iran should not only be on table,
but prepared'.

UPDATE #11 31JUL08

PELOSI 30Jul: “It is very important, remove all doubt, or any excuse that he (Iranian President)
may have, that there hasn’t been some engagement, some communication (diplomacy). But, it is
not just the United States, mind you.” (Go to minute 1:15 for 20 seconds)

http://infowarriornetwork.ning.com/video/video/show?id=2189088%3AVideo%3A3369
 UPDATE #10 30JUL08

RITTER 30Jul (Patriot!): “The false diplomacy waged by the White House in Geneva simply
pre-empted any congressional call for a diplomatic outreach. Now the president can move on with
the mission of facilitating a larger war with Iran by legitimizing yet another act of aggression.
One day, in the not-so-distant future, Americans will awake to the reality that American military
forces are engaged in a shooting war with Iran.”

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20377.htm

OBAMA 30Jul: "Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the
sanctions don’t work Israel is going to strike Iran."

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/obama-to-house.html

MORRELL 30Jul (Pentagon Press Secretary): "A military option is always available to us. It's not
our first choice."

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=65148&sectionid=351020101

UPDATE #9 29JUL08

GRAHAM 29Jul: “The only plausible explanation we can find is that the Iranians are figuring
out how to launch a missile from a ship and get it up to altitude and then detonate it. The first
indication [of such an attack] would be that the power would go out, and some, but not all, the
telecommunications would go out. We would not physically feel anything in our bodies.”
Graham chairs the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic
Pulse (EMP) Attack. Another Non-Intelligence Intelligence Source for the White House.

"This way they will be able to say they tried everything,"
Barak will travel to Washington and New York and will hold talks with his counterpart Robert
Gates, Vice President Dick Cheney, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Michael Mullen,
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. Officials
said it was likely that President George W. Bush would join the meeting between Barak and
Hadley. On Wednesday, Barak will fly to New York for a brief meeting with United Nations
Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon.
Barak's departure to the US came as IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi
returned to Israel on Sunday from a week-long visit to the US as Mullen's guest. Ashkenazi held
talks with Cheney, Hadley and other senior officials with a focus on the Iranian nuclear program.
"There is a lot of strategic thinking concerning Iran going on right now but no one has yet to
make a decision what to do," said a top IDF officer.

UPDATE #8 25JUL08

With respect to Iran, the signals are mixed. The rhetoric level is relatively low, but high level
strategy meetings are still taking place while drills and actual operations remain on schedule.

UPDATE #7 22JUL08

BROWN: “Iran must suspend its nuclear program and accept our offer of negotiations or face
growing isolation and the collective response not of one nation but of many nations.''

http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=5452

UPDATE #6 21JUL08

ATKINSON (NeoCon Author, Family Security Matters) 21Jul “President Bush can fail in his
duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become
“President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to
the Supreme Court.” Insane!

http://www.blacklistednews.com/news-669-0-5-5--.html

RICE (Sec of State) 21Jul: "If they do not decide to suspend (peaceful nuclear operations
(reference NIE)) then we will be in a situation where we have to return to the Security Council. I
think we've done enough to demonstrate that the United States is serious and to assure our
partners that we're serious."

http://www.thestate.com/365/story/466411.html

UPDATE #5 20JUL08

ADMIRAL MULLEN (CJCS) 20Jul: "Right now I'm fighting two wars, and I don't need a third
one."

http://rawstory.com//news/2008/Top_US_admiral_says_strike_on_0720.html
MCCORMACK (US State Dept) 19Jul: "We hope the Iranian people understand that their
leaders need to make a choice between cooperation, which would bring benefits to all, and
confrontation, which can only lead to further isolation."

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=64209&sectionid=351020104

BUSH: “The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared
for the alternative.” The US President’s quote prior to initiating a pre-emptive attack on Iraq.

UPDATE #4 19JUL08

CAPTAIN MAY 19Jul: MIDSUMMER ALERT! “We believe that since 9/11 the American
people have already thwarted false flag attempts with well-timed Internet alerts. The Internet can
effectively interdict treasonous intentions. Shining just a little light can cause the cockroaches of
conspiracy to scurry. Accordingly, we urge you to pass this alert along to first responders, elected
officials, media –and all other American citizens. The future of our nation may depend upon your
action.”

http://www.911truth.ie/

MORRIS (New York Times OP-ED) 18Jul: “Israel will almost surely attack Iran’s nuclear sites
in the next four to seven months — and the leaders in Washington and even Tehran should hope
that the attack will be successful enough to cause at least a significant delay in the Iranian
production schedule, if not complete destruction, of that country’s nuclear program. Because if
the attack fails, the Middle East will almost certainly face a nuclear war — either through a
subsequent pre-emptive Israeli nuclear strike or a nuclear exchange shortly after Iran gets the
bomb.” This is in an American newspaper!

MOFAZ (Israeli Trans Min) 17Jul: “There will be no choice but to attack Iran to halt the Iranian
nuclear program. Israel cannot let Iran get to the point of nuclearization (not an English word).
All options are on the table. If there won’t be a choice other than a nuclear Iran or a military
option, it’s clear what our decision has to be. The strategy against Iran has not changed and it will
continue to be led by the United States,” Mofaz said, adding Israel could not let Iran ‘threaten the
entire world.’ Why does this person think he can speak for our country?

http://www.prisonplanet.com/mofaz-no-choice-but-to-attack-iran.html

Is the AIPAC lobbied Congressional presumptive passage of The Iran Blockade Act (HR362,
S580) the pivotal point in the NeoCon Iran war plan? It may very well be!!! The military drill
mechanisms are in place, the rhetoric has been voiced, and actions have been taken…now,
what will Congress do?

BOLTON: "This is a complete capitulation on the whole idea of suspending enrichment," said
Mr. Bush's former UN envoy, John Bolton. "Just when the administration has no more U-turns to
pull, it does another." NeoCon John Bolton comment on decision to have dialogue rather than
immediate, unprovoked, pre-emptive, and possible nuclear war with Iran. The rest of the article
referenced is trash, but the quote can be seen there.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/condis-coup-how-the-neocons-lost-
the-argument-over-iran-870861.html

MCCAIN: ``Al-Qaeda is on their heels but not defeated,'' McCain said today at a town hall
meeting with General Motors workers in Warren, Michigan. ``I also predict that they will make
an attempt, as we get into election season, to make more of these spectacular kinds of attacks''
The Bloomberg article then corrects the statement adding that McCain meant the Iraq election.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ah2V7py15A7A&refer=home

BUSH: "I have issued an Executive Order blocking property of persons determined to have
committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the
purpose or effect of threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq or
undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide
humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people." (17Jul08 Signing)

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6377

SCOTT RITTER: “The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s continued push for
congressional action concerning the implementation of what is tantamount to a naval blockade of
Iran (and as such, an act of war) by pushing H. Con. Res 362 and S. Res 580 is mind-boggling
given the reality of the situation. Congress must stop talking blockade, and start discussing
stability and confidence-building measures.”

http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/07/14/10337/

CHERTOFF: "The terrorists are deliberately focusing on people who have legitimate Western
European passports, who don't appear to have records as terrorists," Chertoff told lawmakers. "I
have a good degree of confidence we can catch people coming in. But I have to tell you ... there's
no guarantee. And they are working very hard to slip by us."

Operation Brimstone 21Jul-31Jul NORFOLK (NNS) -- More than 15,000 service members
from four countries will participate in Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) 08-4 "Operation
Brimstone", July 21-31 in North Carolina and off the eastern U.S. coast from Virginia to Florida.

Immediate Response 2008 15Jul-29Jul (Approx end date)VAZIANI, Georgia, July 15, 2008
(Reuters) — One thousand U.S. troops began a military training exercise in Georgia on Tuesday
against a backdrop of growing friction between Georgia and neighboring Russia.

WOLFOWITZ: "Paradoxically, the relative security which Americans have enjoyed since 2001
makes it easier to doubt the necessity of shouldering the burden of leadership. One hopes it will
not take another calamity to convince us of the need for a vigilant foreign policy."

RUMSFELD: "This President’s pretty much a victim of success. We haven’t had an attack in five
years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that it’s not surprising that the
behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing’s in Europe, there’s a low threat
perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack. And when that happens, then everyone
gets energized for another [inaudible] and it’s a shame we don’t have the maturity to recognize
the seriousness of the threats"

OLMERT: "We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. I left with a lot
less question marks [than] I had entered with regarding the means, the timetable restrictions, and
American resoluteness to deal with the problem. George Bush understands the severity of the
Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on that matter before the end of his
term in the White House."

throughout the year, as well as a major exercise in July.

Ref: http://www.blacklistednews.com/view.asp?ID=5323

Exercise DIABLO BRAVO 2008 (DB 08) is a National Exercise Program Tier II, nuclear
weapons incident exercise, sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA). The primary exercise activity will take place from 28 July - 1
August 2008 in Kitsap County, Washington, with secondary training audiences participating
throughout the Nation.

DB08 will involve a comprehensive interagency response at the Federal, State, and local levels.
DOE participants include the Accident Response Group (ARG), the Radiological Assistance
Program (RAP), the Consequence Management Response Team (CMRT), the Aerial Measuring
System, the Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability, the Emergency Management Team and the
Nuclear Incident Team (NIT). Additional participants include multiple Federal headquarters
elements at dispersed geographic locations, various Federal agency assets designated to respond
to such an incident, select Departments and Agencies from the State of Washington, and the
Kitsap County emergency response assets.

DIABLO BRAVO 08 is significant because it will be the first inter-agency U.S. nuclear weapons
incident exercise to test the response activities to a terrorist attack on nuclear weapons; the first
real-time deployment of response assets; the first exercise in which the weapons are in DOE
custody under the National Response Framework (NRF).
