Go ahead, punks, take a shot at a Carrier
Make our day- hell, make our entire year

I think the USS Stennis CVN 74 is in that area.

I suspect it is just as easy for the USA to take care of these rag heads from wherever they are, our only problem is wimpy mac daddy.

I respectfully advise Iran not to mess with the U S Navy.

However, in my mind they have no intentions of engaging the US Navy, They are playing mind games with BO

I have the Des Moines Register from the day the embassy hostages were released, which was also the day of Reagan's inauguration.
The Iranians knew the gig was up with a strong President coming in power.

Same thing today. We have a weak President who the Iranians think they can push around.

Time for the carrier to hang a larry and steam back up into the Gulf.

I wonder how long Iran will drag this sabre-rattling on? Given we will soon be in the middle of an intense Presidential primary season, this could get dicey quick. Everyone trying to appear tougher than the other guy. I imagine too, that if anything dramatic happens overseas, Obama and his thugs will milk it for all its worth, at the expense of the country and the GOP.

In another strongly-worded message, Iranian leaders rebuked the sun for crossing Iranian airspace. The Iranians stated unequivocally that the sun would not be allowed to return from the west, where it had departed from Iran only hours earlier. “We are not in the habit of giving more than one warning!” shouted an Iranian general in making it clear that the sun, once it departed to the west, was not to turn around and come back toward the east.

Iran threatens action if U.S. carrier returns

Silence! I keel you!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. We could sure use an American for a president right now.

In the olden days we used to sail right through any warning ... radiating fire control radar at everything in range.

I thought the Koran said you had to warn an enemy twice before attacking.
