The countdown clock waits for no one — 13,972 days to go.

The Committee has its hands full right now.

We move equipment and supply routes to accommodate a possible international action to destroy modern-day Iranian technology, specifically that associated with nuclear weaponry production but also any that does not impede oil exports.

Needless to say, India will not allow quick strike equipment on its soil during this preparation period, as dependent on Iranian oil as the Indian economy has become.

In response, the Committee has made it clear there will be no attempts made to evacuate expat Indians within Iran or any Iranian strongholds from now on.

The Committee weighs its options.

Should an overt military operation in Syria, to “help” the Syrians protect themselves from themselves, serve as a covert forward base of operations to use against Iran in the near future?

Will the unrest in Egypt interfere with forward military bases there?

Will the Israelis make a first strike without waiting for the Committee’s permission to proceed a few mere minutes before the rest of the military groups situated inside and outside of Iran?

Does the value of the Euro that favours countries like Germany have a detrimental effect on the rearguard/reserve troops hidden in eastern European countries?

Will Hollande take over and lead France to greatness, despite the Merkozy plan of European domination for years to come?

Can a silent movie move you to tears in this day and age of 3D glasses, Dolby 7.1 surround sound and Siri?

While the Committee takes a break to resolve a problem with the encrypted speakerphone system we use during extremely sensitive discussions, mainly because our brain wave readers/talkers are on the fritz, I’ll search (and research) our archives, hoping a bit of history might lead me to suggest, rather than demand, a few simple solutions.

More as it develops…
