There's a limited number of carrier in that area, only so many LSOs and out of that number, only so many split tails.

This is going to be fun.

“Bush has become something of an Emperor. He will give the command, and cruise missiles will fly and aircraft will fly and people will die...”


Sounds more like Slick Willie! Just add a baby food factory.

How can anyone take anything off KOS seriously? It’s like putting faith in something off the DU.

The Navy plans contingency strikes all the time. Just like the Army, Marines and Air Force. Just because they are planning strikes does not mean that they are going to be carried out. The whole idea behind drawing up contingency strike plans is to eliminate the planning phase time should a short fused order come down to execute a strike. Plus it gives them time to do rehearsals. Many strikes must be executed almost down to the second, especially if there are more than one sumultaneous run into the target (called deconfliction) so they have to be rehearsed over and over so the timing becomes second nature.

Nothing to see here. Show’s over. Move along folks.

Well it can't be too hard to track down a female LSO. There can be only a handful.

I also question the authenticity of this article since I haven't heard any of these grumblings about waiting out the change in the administration. Some of the terms are strange as well. FARP hasn't been used by the fighter end of the Navy since the early 90's and I've never heard of FAST.

The military is constantly updating operational plans for all sorts of contingencies. My operational unit used to look at contingencies for the Korean Penninsula all the time. That was in the 90's and we still haven't bombed anybody in NK.

I've been flying in the Navy since 91, fighters since 94, instructing SFARP since 98.

If this is accurate, the lady should be shot on sight. One thing for sure though, if it is true, she doesn’t read history. Many things are done in the military that the average officer or sailor doesn’t know anything about. Many pilots during WWII were in the air before they even knew where they were going. When our bombers were sent to Iraq, the crew had no idea what the target was....their computers took over and the course was set. Once they were over Iraq, the crew was notified of the target.

The Navy will run a hundred different scenarios and practice, practice, practice. They may have just been given a problem to solve.........just in case the order came down.

Please refrain from using the term split tails. It is highly offensive to Navy women. I usually have a thick skin, but that particular pejorative has always grated on me.

If she were really in the Navy, she would realize that Bush is the CIC, the only Emperor that she will ever know. In fact, her Ass belongs to Bush—he can have her planted in a garden in Herzogovinia if he wants....and be perfectly legal.

We should be well prepared and all attacks against Iran should be planned for a practiced.

That does not mean it will happen though.

I’m not saying I believe everything “she” said, but if this really is an LSO, then “she” should be reprimanded for telling a civilian about plans that may or may not come to pass.

The Times and Reuters are reporting the same thing. You think they had the same source? </sarcasm>

This is nonsense. They couldn’t hide enough of their disdain for the President and the Military to make it believable.

Given the screen name, my guess is that they were used by someone in Israel for a bit of psychological warfare.

"...Bush has become something of an Emperor. He will give the command, and cruise missiles will fly and aircraft will fly and people will die...

Complete leftist fantasy. Too bad actually, because I want Iran bombed. Unfortunately, this isn't even a psyop. It's just more Bush Derangement Syndrome from the excitable nutroots. When people ramble like this, it's time to sing the song:


Bomb bomb bomb
Bomb bomb Iran
Bomb bomb bomb
Bomb bomb Iran
Bomb Ir-a-a-an...

Jayson Blair would approve of this. They are even scoffing at this over at the dump.
