Ballsye move. Problem is that Obama is a eunuch, therefore no one is intimidated. Maybe we can have a two-fer, and take care of the problem.

Did somebody order a beat-down?

And Syria is in Cuba and Venezuela....It’s a lot of money being spent to just have a display.

Would not be surprised if Israel told the US they were moving against Iran and we have a choice... be with them or against them. The deployment is our reluctant answer..
To: Dallas59
Yes, really... A nice display that means nothing with this president.

If Obama will p*ss away two 747s to fly him and the wookie for a Broadway show, you can bet he’s not batting an Alex DeLarge eyelash about the cost.

Very skeptical. The US used five carriers during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Two might help support a higher tempo in Afghanistan, but wouldn’t be much for a serious operation in Iran.
To: sonofstrangelove
Huge negative numbers. Economy shattered. Getting ridiculed by even some leftist pundits. Has the responsibility to stop one of the worse ongoing global environmental disasters that he is powerless to stop. Just had to sack his commander in Afghanistan due to his own failed policies. Failed to support the Iranian Green movement due to his own horrible political ploys. Needs to protect the House of Saud his Arab benefactors from a potential Persian hegemony.
This President needs a big time Wag the Dog if his party has any chance of negating some of the losses coming their way in November. Israel has survival on its plate. Looks like Obama has found a but to kick. Lets just hope he kicks the right one.

You are forgetting something. In addition to the carriers, the fleets consisted of more than two dozen missile ships and submarinesmost capable of firing Tomahawk cruise missiles

They only have 3 carriers they can put into play in the Atlantic right now. Others down for service and inspection. If I remember right, they brought a carrier or two from the Pacific over to deal with Iraq. Might be hard to do that after North Korea sunk that South Korean ship. At any rate, Israel has the lead on this one. US will just be in a supporting role. Protecting Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and the House of Saud from Iranian counter attack.

Then again, maybe he’ll quit and leave it to our first mentally retarded VP. Joe Biden will take swift and decisive military action and ordered the wholescale carpet-bombing of Pearl Bailey, just like during the Civil War against Aruba.

Could be his way of getting in the way of anything should it come via the Saudis, who have no love for Iran.

Obama - Biden - Pelosi. Dang. Which one of those would make the worse Military commander ? IMHO - A tossup.
To: sonofstrangelove
Obama will arm the planes with leaflets apologizing for the ‘previous administration’ and drop the leaflets on Iran.

The group may have a defensive rather than an offensive mission. This would be to protect shipping, oil rigs and respond to any attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq or the rest of the region.
