I know I just can't take another war...this is some more from the article.

Outbound from Singapore, the USS Carl Vinson is currently crossing the Indian Ocean headed towards Middle-East. This will be the first time since February 2004 that US will have three major carrier groups stationed on and around Middle East.

Each of these carrier groups carry nearly 85 aircrafts and is capable of deliver precision-guided munitions. In addition there are anti-submarine aircrafts, airborne-early-warning and rotary-wing aircrafts. Because in the air refueling capabilities these aircrafts can operate from a long distance. The carrier groups are independent and can operate indefinitely.

Praying that this doesn't come to pass!

Holy crap... that's a serious message... and you can bet it ain't just for show. Dubya doesn't make idle threats like ole BJ-Clinton.

Don't get too wrapped up in this article. I saw it yesterday and it doesn't look like what they are saying - yet. The Navy does have the capability to surge, but it doesn't appear to be happening. The Vinson is already scheduled to be in the persian gulf area. We've had at least two in the region since gulf 2.
