Northeast Intelligence Network. Just throwing it out there. Pretty bold prediction. (From the basement...) :)

[Rightone]

An aircraft carrier would definitely have to be considered a "hard" target in comparison to the many "soft" targets out there. If they could even damage one, it would be a major coup.

[helen crump]

I think that tomorrow will pass with nothing out of the ordinary happening.
If there is an attack at least we won't have to debate who is at falt.

[The KG9 Kid]

Maybe they'll take a poke at a decommissioned carrier that sits as a floating museum? USS Ranger, Lexington, or Hornet are all civilian property.

The resulting video would play well in the Arabic world. The heathens won't know the difference.

[bayourod]

Is March 30th today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in Japan?

My guess would be the use of a Russian bomber piloted by a mole in the Russian air force combined with an attack by a formerly Russian submarine purchased by a Muslim country.

[js1138]

Oh my God, They are sending the birds of the air to destroy us.

Could be another airliner being used as a bomb.

[js1138]

I suppose this is too obvious a question, but have these geniuses notified the Navy? Who did the translation from the supposed arabic website and when?

[Keith]

That is if they can find enough Testor's glue to finish their Revell model...

[DefCon]

I got 20 bucks that says it ain't gonna happen.
Any takers?

[GOP Jedi]

Well, if the terrorists have got themselves a couple of Sunburns from the Chinese or Russians, we could be in trouble:

Has SeaRAM been deployed yet?

[Jeff Head]

If it was credible, they would announce this after their attack.

Announcing it the day before almost ensures that it is not credible.

It would have been like announcing the 911 attacks on 910.

[TFMcGuire]

They couldn't even sink the Cole let alone a flattop.

The threat is certainly sobering and needs to be taken seriously.

One would think the prudent thing to do would be to get under way.

None of the scenarios presented seem to my limited cerebral abilities a realistic threat.

I think the gentleman who is betting the 20 bucks is safe.

I think this threat is psychological warfare brought to us from the beneficent adherents of the "Religion of Peace."

However, Hope and pray all precautions are taken to protect our marines? on this ship.

Pinging squid to squid! Look at this one.

This Arabic writer is quoting a prophecy by - Stephen L. Bening.

http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/gammadim/trackpersian.html

snip

The word of the Lord was entitled "And A Little Child Shall Lead Them". I received absolutely no feedback from this word, except that I think most people who read it thought me to be a madman. To the natural mind, a nuclear attack by an Arab country against the United States appears to be preposterous. Nevertheless, that is what I saw!

To summarize, I said at that time that on the 17th day of some future month, the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Kitty Hawk and supporting vessels would be destroyed by a surprise attack of cruise missiles...

snip
While America and the President are distracted with these impeachment proceedings (President Clinton impeachment),the Persian Gulf fleet, headed by the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Kitty Hawk, will be attacked by nuclear warhead tipped cruise missile in the Persian Gulf. The Lord said that descendants of Ishmael will do this thing. It will occur in near proximity of time to the impeachment proceedings.

These events will trigger great tribulation. America will cease to function as a military power and will be brought down in fulfillment of the prophecies of Obadiah in one day... "

The Clinton impeachment was what? 6 years ago? And the 17th of a month. Tomorrow is the 30th, not the 17th. It's not even the 17th day on the Islamic calendar. Tomorrow is the 8th day of the 2nd month.

[StarCMC]

If you've already seen this, sorry. Thought it might interest you...

[DarthMaulrulesok]

You know, the most likely form of attack would be an inside job, a muslum sailor placing a small charge in the bomb magazine. If he can detonate one bomb, the resulting explosive chain reaction would gut the ship. A smuggled suitcase nuke would much more likely be headed for the vicinity of the White House than a ship, even a carrier.

Or, they might try another "USS Cole" type attack: wait near a narrow water "choke point" the carrier has to pass through, then come out, (at night?) in a number of small speedboats or (more likely) take over a harbor tug, pack it with explosives, (or gas/germ weapons?) and ram. If you have enough such suicide attackers to keep the escorts busy, it might work. (I admit it is not likely, but you never know).

72 urchins coming up...

[ATCNavyRetiree]

"Any of you boys seen an aircraft carrier around here?"

Cougar...wake up, Cougar!!

[mikegi]

I don't believe a single word posted on NEIN-COMPOOPS. But, as an FYI, maybe the jihadists are confusing the Kittyhawk with the USS Wasp. A few days ago I read that 2000 US Marines from the Wasp group are headed to Afghanistan. The Wasp is a carrier and I assume it is moving to a position off the Pakistani coast.
