I don't know whether to wish for Iran to fire on our ships, or pray they don't.

"During the Great Prophet 2 missile test in November, the Islamic Republic fired a Shabab missile into the six-mile corridor of shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. In such a constricted corridor, the results could have been disastrous."

The odds of Iran making zee boo-boo keep going up.

Carriers need room to maneuver. They are in pretty tight quarters where they are now in case they come into harm's way.

This article is hod wash. There is no plan to attack Iran. Both the Pentagon and W have said so. The Ike doesn't carry 5,000 personnel and the Stennis is a virtual ship./ sarcasm off

We aren't going to attack Iran. It would be stupid now. Jimmy Carter should of done it and it is 30 years tooooo late.
