10 warships vs 1/4 or more of the US Navy? There are 4-6 carriers alone in the theater of operations currently. This Navy is battle hardened after the Persian Gulf War and the War of Iraqi Liberation. The Russian Navy hasn't faced a conflict in 60 years.

They'd just be donating artificial coral reefs.

you know from my days in fast boats, well always wondered if the advertised amounts of MK 48 Torpedos would take out soviet ships. Maybe the boats there will get a chance to find out *L*

Yep.

They have warships; we have battle groups. Didn't they have to ask us for help to pay their foreign port fees a few years back? And the French single carrier travels w/tugs.

Before the war began, there were rumors that the French were planning to parachute into the center of Baghdad wearing blue UN helmets. Yesterday, IIRC, the French foreign minister was aghast that we had rolled into Baghdad because is was *so dangerous*.

They talk alot and don't seem capable of doing much else.
They want us to be humiliated because they experience humiliation on a daily basis.
