thought i'd throw this out there, even though the source is questionable

if true, that is a lot of fire power all in one place

The Big E is big alright, but it’s not the largest carrier in the fleet - is it?

CVN 65 Enterprise is not the “biggest air carrier” by a long shot. It is nearly the oldest and maybe the fastest. Carriers are capital ships or “strategic assets”. Should the Iranians attack them, they will recieve an immediate strategic reply. Rio Linda for nuclear response.

Debka is well known for its sensationalism, not always its accuracy

I may be wrong, but I thought it was the Reagan.
What does Debka know anyway? They just like to “start stuff”.

I think she still has the longest flight deck, but her displacement (which is what most size comparisons take into account) is smaller than the Nimitz's.

Knocking the crap out of Iran, is the one thing that you can count on from the President.

Signs That the United States is About to Bomb Iran

1. – The U.S. Navy stages a “surge exercise” and moves six carrier battle groups into the Indian Ocean.

2. – A “regularly scheduled exercise” moves Patriot Missile Batteies to Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. These exercises happen from time to time, but if they happen when other things are happening…

3. — Movement of B-52 and B1B bombers to the island of Diego Garcia (in the Indian Ocean).

4. — Deployment of F117 stealth bombers and F-22 fighters to anywhere in the Persian Gulf.

5. — Deployment of B-2 Stealth Bombers to Guam, where there are special facilities for maintaining these aircraft.

6. — Lockdown of Whitman Air Force Base (where most B-2 bombers are stationed) in Missouri.

7. — Increased delivery of Pizza to Pentagon

8. –Sudden loss of cell service near some air force bases (from which heavy bombers would depart). At the same time, there would be sightings of Middle Eastern looking guys around these bases, trying to get their cell phones to work, while being observed by what appears to be FBI agents.

9. Deployment of KC-135/KC-10 aerial tankers to Diego Garcia, Guam and the Persian Gulf.

10. America asks nations neighboring Iran for basing and over flight rights.

As of June 29,2007, only the Nimitz and the Stennis were under way. Take it for what it is. The Navy does not tell all.

I’ve lost confidence in him at this point.
Syria and Iran have killed too many of our boys with impunity.
