BRISBANE, Australia -This week the United States of America conducted a battle with the forces of Iran.
The battles took places in Baghdad and Basra between combatants controlled by the religious leaders of Iran, US, British and Iraqi forces.
This was a test of strength or rather a demonstration of power by Iran. Having directed the Mahdi Army to announce a ceasefire in February, it arranged for the opposite in Basra. It is reminiscent of the secret attack of Japan at Pearl Harbor.

This week the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), nicknamed "Abe", the fifth Nimitz-class super carrier in the United States Navy is headed for the Persian Gulf. She is the second Navy ship named after former president Abraham Lincoln. Her home port is Everett, Washington.
On March 13th 2008, the USS Abraham Lincoln departed from Naval Station Everett and embarked embarks on a seven month deployment in the Persian Gulf. It stopped at San Diego to pick up support crew members for the various airplanes carried aboard the big ship before heading west.
Two Everett destroyers, the USS Shoup and the USS Momsen, are members of the Lincoln strike group.
Meanwhile NATO leaders have met in Belgium this past week.
In times of war and preparation for war, the public are not told of what meetings take place between allies. The Potsdam Conference agenda was not broadcast until long after the war.
Brussels was a NATO meeting that brought non NATO leader Kevin Rudd to Belgium. Why?
Is there a war between Iran and the United States in the planning stage or preparation stage?
Are the forces moving to the staging area now?
