What I was referring to...

"But when asked here whether the Pentagon was preparing for military strikes against Iran, Gates said flatly, 'No.'"

I love being a citizen of a country that can project a force strong enough to totally eliminate a belligerent government as a “reminder”.

One is a lonely number.

Two is a reminder.

Three means the balloon is up.

Just watching the series on PBS “Carrier”
about of The local San Diego based carriers, Nimitz
in the Gulf and the Air Wing and ther activities.

The Reagan here has been active also in the war.

I can walk 1 1/4 miles up the street and look out
at the USS Nimitz and USS Reagan here

Those two need to be over there, not here. We could use three carrier groups in that region -- and one full group in the eastern Mediterranean -- as a 'reminder' to Syria.

Must be so stirring. To see what these
young kids do is truly humbling.

That’s a nice one, I like it. When we send Ahmedeadman to Hell via whatever’s handy, we can say the same thing — “it was just a reminder”. ;’)

Gates has a dry sense of humor, doesn’t he? :)

...”a reminder”...
