You just *know* it makes liberals hopping mad.Yep, and I believe that it was the sailors assigned to the ship who thought up the nickname! Just perfect.

Did anybody mention that the new commander of U. S. Central Command (includes Iraq and Iran forces) is a Navy admiral? I interpret that as preparation more for Iran than for Iraq, as I did when I heard the 82nd Airborne was deployed to Kuwait a couple of weeks ago. Any thoughts, anyone?

Stennis is probably relieving the Eisenhower, nothing to worry about

We live in a little town where everyone owns guns (primarily for huntiing) and learns to use them at a very young age. I'm not worried.

Are we "sending a message" ? or is there some material reason forr the deployment? The problem with "sending a message" is that the message sent and the message received are not similar. The message received is always the same-"Consequences are all Symbolic" -we're not really going to hurt you."Sending A Message" is cowardice and will be received thus.

Forty thousand additional US Troops to Iraq, and an aircraft carrier to Iran's neighborhood? OK.
Are you thinkin' what I think you're thinkin'?
To: Solitar
i'll second that! then we can run sorties 36 hours a day instead of just 24 hours a day you can achieve with two carriers...

He still wasn't worth a carrier. I tend to agree. Most of the more recent carriers have inappropriate names, even the Ronald Reagan. They should be named after historically important Navy Ships, including but not limited to carriers, like "Enterprise", "Hornet" , "Lexington", and "Independence". although failing that, former Presidents isn't too bad. But not CongressCritters. Although I wish we had enough to name them after states, without "shorting"

That's my favorite carrier "nickname", by far. I'm partial to "The Big Stick" (USS Theodore Roosevelt) myself.

Stennis is probably relieving the Eisenhower, nothing to worry about And maybe the Ike will hang around a bit, so as not to miss the festivities?
