Thanks! It perfectly captures my love of chocolate and my distain for clueless EnviroWackos. :)

Yeah, it's a "packaged & sanatized tour." There's plenty of stuff that civilians don't need to know about concerning our military. ;)

Yeah, it's a "packaged & sanatized tour.

As it should be. When the answer to some of the questions asked was, "that's classified", it was always said politely & with a smile. I think the kids were most impressed by the basketball hoop in the lower deck.

If they try that, the only way you will be able to see the Iranian navy is with a glass bottom boat.

Aljazeera gets news from Jeff Rense. Can't beat that.

I wonder how many Trident Subs are there?

I am more worried about how many Chinese subs are there, since we don't seem to be able to detect them until they surface.

Misleading title. The headline says four carriers, then goes on to name two carriers and two amphibs.

Thanks to Xlinton!!!

Since Ohio-class SSBNs don't have to leave port to hit any target on the globe, I can't see that it matters much where they are. :)

That picture is a little outdated since the election, isn't it?

Yea, the four carriers are there to monitor the election.

Your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever for the topic at hand.

If you go to Navy.mil, You can see pictures of the Enterprise coming in to Norfolk. It is so impressive to see all the sailors in their dress blues manning the rail. My husband served on the Enterprise in the 60's. He said coming back to the ship after a day in some port the Enterprise looked so big sitting in the harbor. He felt enormous pride in the Big E, and still does to this day.

I figured, but have been told they aren't open 24/7. My comment had to do with that tidbit's inclusion in the list. The possibility of having illegal aliens working in jobs which would be in the loop crossed my mind.

Our "leader's" miserable history on this score is DOCUMENTED..
Need I remind you of the times/places?
The last war WON, was WWII....in 1946.
All we've got to show for the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS killed or maimed since them -- are a couple of cheap monuments on the Mall.

Amen Brother, Better duck tho many here think GW is a great warrior.

Bibi has been right for years. The Israelis made the same mistake our rats have by ousting him some years ago. I think we'd have a much different picture in the ME right now if the Israelis had stuck to their guns the way we need to do NOW. Sadly, thanks to rat propaganda and the media, we blinked. I hope Bush hangs tough......for once.

I believe Dessert Storm in 1991 was a US rout.

Those pesky facts get in the way, eh?

Check out Torpark...

So many interesting things to learn on FR.

"I didn't see any mention of it in the American hit piece article, but didn't go to the source to check. Did I miss a mention of it?"

I remember reading it quite a while ago - a week or two.

"Misleading title. The headline says four carriers, then goes on to name two carriers and two amphibs"....
