MOSCOW, March 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran's borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday.

This is from 2007. I did a post titled Where not always right dealing with the last round of this, earlier this year.

Some of what I said: It seems we were CORRECT and said so on March 30, 2008 in this post- U.S. Military buildup on Iran Border- Up Date. We tried to get the word out. We left comments on Many websites and by other means of Electronic Communication, Others did the same. Still, even after the Article in question was pointed out to have been published Last Year, and links were provided for verification, Those of us who were right were ignored.

The post I mentioned above has more info and links to earlier posts dealing with this.

Just a heads up...,Ed
