S & P's President New Challenges.

Deven Sharma, the president of Standard & Poor, has announced he is leaving the company to take up "new challenges".

The US Justice(!) department is to investigate S & P's credit ratings of toxic bonds in the years leading upto the 2008 financial collapse.

Sharma who joined the company in 2006, would also have noticed the fall in the share value of S&P's parent company, Mcgraw-Hill.

New challenges or just RUN ?

UK sacrifices 15 Marines in 'False Flag' incident.

Imagine, 15 Marines sent by small inflatables to board and inspect a merchant ship in dangerous waters, off Iraq and Iran.
They are supposed to have Helicopter support and HMS Cornwall in attendance.
The Cornwall had a recent refit with Radar and all early warning systems upgraded.

So what went wrong ?

HMS Cornwall was 11 miles away - too far to give assistance if needed and the Helicopter had to return for refuelling, leaving the Marines exposed.

Why the Cornwall's radar didnt pick up the Iranian boats converging on the Marines is another mystery.

Is this the excuse that the USA and UK have been looking for to go into Iran ?

Did HMS Cornwall stand by and allow the Marines to be captured ?
Why didnt the Marines defend themselves ?

Too many unanswered questions leave me wondering if the Marines were left so that Military action could escalate.

I hope Im wrong but our Governments recent history tells me otherwise.
