    Interestingly, there is a French aircraft carrier currrently operating nearby in the Arabian Sea where it is offering air support to forces in Afghanistan. This curiously leaves the two US carriers operating in the Persian Gulf with nothing to conflict with whatever they are doing there.

    I'm not so sure there is anything curious about it. We're merely playing a little game of "escalation of force". The ball is in Iran's court now. I think a lot hinges on what they do with these British hostages.

    I would not take it too seriously. We don't have the resources to get bogged down in another theater of operations.

    BS. If all we mean to do is knock them back into the dark ages, we could do that with just the two battle groups. Outside of special ops to mark targets, and conduct BDA's, there wouldn't be a need for ground troops. We are more than capable of "bringing iran to her knees" with what we have in the area.

    I say if they want nukes. Give em some. Be carefull what you want because you just might get it.

    We wouldnt need ground troops just fly a few b52's or B1B over and middle east problem solved.

    Also do this in Syria and 95% of the worlds terrorist problem goes away.

    The Dems are right lets pull out of Iraq and nuke them too.


    I am kidding of course...... or am i ............. ?
