Lo strano viaggio della Enterprise

“Il motivo per cui manteniamo una presenza in Medio Oriente – ha detto il Ministro della Difesa USA Leon Panetta davanti a 1.700 marinai della USS Enterprise, come riferisce la AP – è per fargli sapere che siamo assolutamente pronti ad affrontare qualunque situazione, e che gli conviene trattare con noi attraverso la diplomazia.”

Panetta ha aggiunto che la portaerei Enterprise è in partenza per il Golfo Persico, e attraverserà lo stretto di Ormuz per dare un messaggio diretto all’Iran.

*1898 "Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain!" - Technical experts at the time of both investigations disagreed with the findings, believing that spontaneous combustion of coal in the bunker adjacent to the reserve six-inch magazine was the most likely cause of the explosion on board the ship. In 1976, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover published his book, How the Battleship Maine Was Destroyed. The admiral became interested in the disaster and wondered if the application of modern scientific knowledge could determine the cause. He called on two experts on explosions and their effects on ship hulls. Using documentation gathered from the two official inquiries, as well as information on the construction and ammunition of Maine, the experts concluded that the damage caused to the ship was inconsistent with the external explosion of a mine. The most likely cause, they speculated, was spontaneous combustion of coal in the bunker next to the magazine. - DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY -- NAVAL HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMAND website

*1941 "Un collega peruviano ha rivelato al membro del mio staff di aver sentito da diverse fonti, compresa una fonte giapponese, che le forze militari giapponesi hanno progettato, in caso di problemi con gli Stati Uniti, di tentare un attacco a sorpresa su Pearl Harbor impiegando tutte le strutture militari a loro disposizione. Ha aggiunto inoltre che, ha aggiunto inoltre che sebbene il piano possa sembrare una fantasia, il fatto che l'abbia sentito da più parti l'ha indotto a passare l'informazione.

24 nov 1941 l'Ammiraglio Yamamoto scrive all'ammiraglio Chuichi Nagumo intercettato dagli americani presso la stazione H": "The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintaining close guard agains novembre t submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a mortal blow. The first air raid is planned for dawn of X-day (exact day to be given by later order)"
Two sources of the above message are Admiral Homer Wallin's "Pearl Harbor", published by the US Government printing office, and the United States Strategic Bombing Survey (Pacific) Naval Analysis Division's "The Campaigns of the Pacific War", also published by the US Government printing office.

*1964 "The overwhelming body of reports, if used, would have told the story that no attack occurred." The evidence suggests "an active effort to make SIGINT fit the claim of what happened during the evening of 4 August in the Gulf of Tonkin." - National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 132

On August 6, 2001, the President personally "received a one-and-a-half page briefing advising him that Osama bin Laden was capable of a major strike against the US, and that the plot could include the hijacking of an American airplane."

*2003 "Now, look, I didn’t — part of the reason we went into Iraq was — the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn’t, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction." What did Iraq have to do with the attack on the World Trade Center? "Nothing, except for it’s part of — and nobody has ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack." - George Walker Bush (press conference)
