Hmmm... Wonder if it has anything to do with that rebel ayatollah getting arrested the other day.
Maybe the US expects a little unrest and wants a few resources close by.

I don't have a beef with the Iranian people per se, but it sure would swell my heart with pride to put a cruise missle right up Ayatollah Khamenei's poopshute.

Isn't it curious that just a few weeks ago we were assured by the Iranians they had developed these amazingly accurate and powerful anti-ship missiles? Why are they so worried about just two easy-to-sink US carriers, loaded with easy-to-shoot-down US attack aircraft, flow by infidels of all people?
To: freedom44
I might mention that an aircraft carrier is accompanied by several destroyers, cruisers, and submarines, it is called "Battle Group".
And the Battle Group Eisenhower has more firepower than all the World War II combined!
Yes, that tinhorn dictator should be aware of this, and a few or more changes of underwears would be desirable.
We are slow to anger but when we do get mad, the tinhorn dictator is GONE!

Baztab also said that "if the presence of US navy ships in the Persian Gulf turned into a real threat for the Islamic Republic then the region's oil pipeline would explode, as would mines in the Hormuz Strait (a key shipping route for oil) when oil tankers pass through so as to make the price of oil double or triple." Ummmmm... so they're saying they've already mined the Hormuz Strait, an international waterway? That's an act of war against the entire world. If true that is a "casus belli" (effectively "cause of war," though not literally) and would fully justify a "jus ad bellum" (just war) by any other nation under international law.
I suggest that this Saturday our current president repeat a statement by our 40th president from his radio addresses, with appropriate modification:
"I'm happy to announce that I have just signed legislation outlawing the Islamic Republic of Iran. The bombing begins in five minutes."

Captain Dale Dye, resident military analyst on Los Angeles' KFI 640 has been talking for weeks about what he calls an unprecedented naval build up in the waters around Iran. He says it is the largest concentration of Allied naval power since WWII. He suggests they are there to deal with Iran when the right time comes.
Regards.

According to Baztab, a website controlled by the Pasdaran, "the United States is gaining positions in the sea and countries close to Iran in case the Pentagon wants to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic."Gee, that WOULD be prudent. It's known as getting the drop on your opponent.

Greetings fellow FReepers from the
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) where the internet is as sloooowwww as time itself.
Yep! We are somewhere in the Atlantic and steaming east. I'm not saying where exactly but it is nice and warm outside. And the food is pretty good as well!
My shipmates and myself are rested, sharp and focused and ready for work.

As crazy as these people pretend to be they are not going to destroy their main source of income--oil. To do so would end the regime and power of these flea-bitten pig-f*ckers.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has held an emergency meeting after reports that US nuclear powered aircraft carrier Eisenhower was moving towards the Persian Gulf... Come on...you're tough guys, right? No problem!
I'm sure the stupid infidels don't even remember 1979!

MAY GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED.
I can think of a number of MOOSELIMB leaders--especially religious leaders . . . who'd be put to much better use . . . fertilizing some orange groves somewhere.
And . . . scattering a lot of buildings with pointy towers would improve the landscape considerably.
