The United States has decided to extend the deployment of the George H.W. Bush carrier strike group to provide options to policymakers after last week's deadly attacks in Syria by Iran-backed forces, U.S. military officials said on Friday.

Might be to shoot down Israelis. Some of them told our President to butt out. They must be taught proper subservience, perhaps?
America’s struggle in Syria might be enough to rally Turkey, Iran, Russia, and the Islamic nations which surround it.
Or they could send a few cruise missiles to Afghanistan and destroy the military equipment that Biden left behind. Never happen of course, but it’s a nice thought.
