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

I’m sure Bush is sending them over there carrying really, really, really stern letters to Iran that we are getting mad!

Their mission is to provoke Iran, then smash them up a bit.

That's part of a larger goal of politically subduing them. Should that fail, expect a full blockade of all Iranian ports and the destruction of all Iranian pipelines...and the destruction of any refining capacity.

Should the Iranians shoot in earnest or try to close the Gulf, they'll be decapitated while the blockade continues.

We have the ability to drive this to closure through blockade and regime decapitation...which includes the destruction of all Iranian military assets.
