This is a very interesting map. No wonder the friends of Iran Islamofacism, the rats of America, want GW out of power.

The US Navy has 4 carrier groups in the Persian Gulf, and Iran is fully aware of the power of those carrier groups.

Great little map, "Grampa Dave", and it's quite true:

"No wonder the friends of Iran Islamofacism, the rats of America, want GW out of power."

How would we prevent a Chinese sub from approaching in international waters?

The question bubble head is whether our Task force is vulnerable to a first strike attack, rendering them useless in any posturing againts Iran.

We were at peace when Japan launched a surprise attack, we then immediately declared war on Germany. Find a library

You are correct, I ment to say we declared war on Japan and attacked Germany, and abandoned MacArthur on the Phillipines to fend for himself, which led to the infamous Bataan Death March, which my Brother In Law survived.

The Secretary of Defense at the time said blithly; "There is a time for men to die"

$crew the state department, and all their political generals.

Great map, especially the flags.

"PS We were at peace when Japan launched a surprise attack,"

During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, we were not, by definition, at peace.

More threats from Tehran's diaper headed terrorists.

Iran: The Americans have many weaknesses

Also in relation to what I previously stated concerning the energy markets and Iran the following news:

Sanctions could result in disruption of oil flows: Iran

TEHRAN: The commander-in-chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday imposing sanctions on Iran could result in the disruption of international oil flows through the strategic Gulf waterway. Yahya Rahim Safavi did not say how those flows would be affected but some Iranian officials have previously hinted Iran, the world's fourth largest oil exporter, could use oil as a weapon in its nuclear standoff. The Revolutionary Guards, the ideological wing of Iran's military, recently held several sets of war games in and around the Gulf, which were interpreted as muscle-flexing and a veiled threat about Iran's ability to disrupt shipping if pushed.	source

The Pentagon doesn't have its own pizza ovens?

After what they have been known to shell out for claw hammers, toilet seats, and coffee pots, I'm willing to let them outsource pizza...

[Smokin' Joe]

And you expect the Admiral to breach security and give details of out ASW capabilities?

Precisely. Let them think they are stealthy, especially if they are not.

I see Bagdhad as a primary (symbolic) target...

And Iraq rebuilding its government and country centered on ancient Babylon...

That would not surprise me...Wouldn't that be just a hoot!
