You can bet Israel will come from an unexpected direction.

As an old carrier sailor myself, those look like typical 5th and 7th Fleet carrier deployments to me.

“with last week seeing a significant movement of U.S. warships to the area”

This is not significant. There have been numerous “build ups” of US warships sometimes consisting of 3, maybe even 4, carrier battle groups.

No way in Kenya is that order going to come from Slobama.

Obama? Launch a strike?

If Obama sent our forces over there for action, it would only be because he was presented with a fait accompli by Israel.

That is, Israel, or somebody, was going ahead anyway...so do you want to be with us or not?

It just rattles the Iranians’ cages a bit more. How many psychiatrists are at work in the CIA, NSA and Mossad carefully analyze Ahmedinutjob’s every twitch, figuring out just how much it takes to drive the man crazy?

Plus he’s got to ride herd on the Revolutionary Guard ....

It’s like one of those African tin-pot dictatorships, except with nuclear capabilities. Grim.

I don’t believe Oblahblah will be involved with an IDF attack on Iran. The IDF would never be so apparent in their operations that BI could post it on their website in advance. When the IAF strikes, the world will be caught completely by surprise. The US fleet in the gulf is plain old gunboat dipolmacy, prolly to placate the Saudi’s.

Israel WILL have Obama’s cooperation. They have the goods on him.

We must remember that the Saudis are running the show. They control us and force Obama to support Israel, whether he likes it or not. Our forces are there to protect the Saudis in case of a counterattack. The Saudis have no intention of letting Iran get nuclear missiles. The Saudis are now Israel’s best friend.

You think President Sissy Drawers would do this? It could interrupt his golf game...apparently that’s the only place he can find balls.

Israel will do all of the work and Obama will take credit for his OK to Israel. Hussein will of course be hoping to change the outcome of the November elections by showing what a pro-Israel, pro-US WARRIOR he is!!!

Hasn’t there been a US Carrier Group continuously operating off Iran’s coastline since June 1990 in the build up to the first Gulf War?

All these “new media” websites that are flipping out about the carrier group rotation are showing just how piss poor the quality of the “crowd sourcing” can be in specialized subjects.

Wimp in chief wouldn’t launch an attack against Iran if they lobbed a nuke at New York let alone sank an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. This is bluster and the Iranians know that eyeball to eyeball Obama will blink if not bow in surrender. If there is any attack Israel will do it alone and get castigated by Obama and the UN terror enablers. I wouldn’t be surprised if, as a “gesture of good will”, Obama wouldn’t tip off the Iranians if an Israeli attack were picked up by US AWACS in the gulf.
