Bring it on ragheads! You will finally get King O off his lying ass and do something because the rath of the American public won’t let him sit by and do nothing.

“We’re not the same country now. We’ve been fundamentally changed.”

Absolutely. I have my doubts whether he would even respond!

[PLMerite]

Great, we’ll be smack in the middle of an Administration change right when this sh!t goes hot.

With these types of pronouncements and threats, it's foolish to position our carriers north of Hormuz.

If we need to keep bombing in Iraq we can simply do that from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or UAE.

That's not to say the Gulf should not be aggressively patrolled, just that a CVN is an excessive asset for the role.

"You would simply have committed suicide. "

I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to weigh in with a reasonable comment.

The idea that Iran could prevent a US Battle Group is ludicrous on it's face. Even if they committed their entire national military to attacking one, the most they could hope for is 1-2 damaged ships.

And the result for them would be legendary.

Over their coffee this morning, early, ships crews were laughing out loud.

[Rannug]

Thank you for your service and sacrifices. And please thank your son for me.

[Rannug]

“Over their coffee this morning, early, ships crews were laughing out loud.”

Or crying.

[Mariner]

"Or crying."

Why would they be crying?

[JimRed]

"They could have been shot, and if they were, they would have been destroyed," he warned again.

Multiple CIWS up and spinning?

[Colorado Doug]

Reagan would have had an American flag planted on Farsi Island by today.
