[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anybody stocking up on ammo, food, etc. for the possible backlash from bombing Iran?

It will probably happen in the next 3 months. We have to do it. But the minions from the World's biggest state sponsor of terrorism will be unleashed.

Most likely scenario affecting Joe-six-pack in the US is crazy energy prices, etc... But if a Farsi Turd is able to set off a suitcase nuke in a major metro area, it could be trouble. A Fend for yourself scenario.

I am and have been stocking up for a broad variety of reasons, not just Iran, or China, or the Aliens.

Yes. Maybe my tin-foil hat's a little too tight this month, but with the Iran issue now in the Sec Coun. and coming to a head, and H5N1 on the way, along with another impending Hurricane Season down here in sunny South Fl (see my avatar)I've been stocking up at least 3 months worth of food, water, gasoline for my generator, and other necessities (Like ammo

I'd be amazed if it came down to bombing without Israel hitting them first.

I believe that, just like before Desert Storm, we'll promise ANYTHING to Israel just so that they will NOT bomb Iran. We'll show them OUR plans for the air campaign in hopes of keeping them OUT of the fight. Israel attacking Iran with our troops in Iraq to take the brunt of the firestorm is a dog that just won't hunt.

I've been stocking up on water, need to get more food in the cupboard though real soon. I already have lots of ammo.

Didn't Israel give Iran until the end of March to comply with atomic energy rules?

We won't have to. Who blew up Saddam's reactor back in the 80's???

And nothing will happen just like the last time they bombed a middle eastern country building a nuclear reactor.

Besides having a small stash of food, water, supplies, and a PLAN, the smartest thing you can do if the ballon goes up with Iran is to do what you can to reduce your financial liabilities for the inevitable economic problems that will come with tangling with Iran.

Smart advice. Unfortunately, too many people in America today view debt as a *good* thing, not a liability.

you only need to stock up on enough stuff to get you to 2012.. then it wont matter...

as to iran and the here and now.. i suggest you do as i have done and buy and keep extra gas.. because the most likely scenario if things break in iran is the potential closing of the straights of hormuz, attempted strikes at various oil fields and pipelines throughout the region, and attacks on oil tankers in the region.

I am stocking up for the bird flu. There is no question it will arrive here with the migratory birds traveling from Asia to Alaska to Conus. It will be here by late summer or early fall. The only question is when, not if, it mutates to H2H mode. The government will mandate we stay in our homes for a period up to three months. Will electric power employees or LEO's go to work? Will the economy shut down and anarchy prevail? Stay tuned.

This, friends, is called "out of the box thinking"

As a utility worker, I can say this with certainty. Buy a generator.

Here is a tinfoil twister: I wonder if this is what the Gov't REALLY had in mind when they suggested that we stock up for the chicken flu.
