Your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever for the topic at hand.

It makes perfect sense, unless you think that GW is really going to prosecute a war now, that he failed to prosecute before the election. To what end? If we intended to get serious he should have done it before the election, might have saved our country from the crazies that are now in charge.

Wake up.

I can just imagine what the drive-by media would say if the Pentagon owned a lot of ovens.

WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH CHINA!
Why the hell would we let them know if we can see them or not?
You don't attack ships in international waters in peacetime. You let them play their games and wait for them to do something aggressive. Do you really believe that we didn't have a tail on them?
Sorry, I just get soo frustrated with people that jump to conclusions like that without an understanding of the facts.

I believe Dessert Storm in 1991 was a US rout.

Uh, why are we still there then?

The President is Commander in Chief, he decides when and if we go to war.

I remember reading it quite a while ago - a week or two.

Yes, I read it too. I wonder, have the readers of AJ heard about it?

[John Lenin]

Uh, why are we still there then?

Because we had a moron for President for 8 years.

[Jezebelle]

Huh? What's wrong with what he said?

Well the Admiral of the fleet did, so I suggest you take it up with him.

You don't attack ships in international waters in peacetime.

December 7th, 1941.

Never mind that China is selling their technology.

[Uriah_lost]

Who did WE attack on Dec 7, 1941? WE DON'T WORK THAT WAY.
And you expect the Admiral to breach security and give details of out ASW capabilities?
Your ignorance is astounding.

I don't know about anyone here but if I were Iran and I had four U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier battle groups off my coast I would be quite nervous. Maybe they will come around and see the light before it blows up in their face.

It's not what he said,, it's how he said it.

He SAID it like THIS, and THAT'S a bit HARD on the EYES.

It takes just a little more effort to considerate of others.

Is that an f-14 in the middle? I can tell the ones on the sides are f-18's, But the swept back wings make that look like a 14 which I thought was officially retired.

As a matter of fact I DO talk like that when I have to drill something through the head of someone that won't pay attention!

As the American President George W. Bush steps up threatening rhetoric against Iran to force it suspend its nuclear program, calling for worldwide isolation of Tehran until it “gives up its nuclear ambitions,” experts predict that the coming days would see a much violent step by Washington against the Islamic Republic.

Good! Hurry up! (Thanks for the article and picture, PghB.)

Yo, XGI, the dude's name is Pisano, so he's Eyetalian, so he's emotional....passionate, ya' know? Cut 'im some slack, okay? Besides, I would think that as a GI your eyes and ears suffered worse than seeing some capital letters on a screen. Lighten up already. Bahdabing!

Arrivaderci, baby! :>

Who did WE attack on Dec 7, 1941?

Your ignorance is astounding.

Japan attacked us on December 7th, 1941....Pearl Harbor? USS Arizona?

Please bring a brain to the next discussion.

[Repeal The 17th]

There are no U.S. Aircraft Carriers anywhere near the Gulf.
It is all a big lie.
