Tail Wagging the Dog? Klintoon did the same thing when the Lewinsky crap was coming down.

Personally, with Hussein Obama as CiC, I don’t think we are going to do anything about Iran.

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.

There will be a distraction created toward the middle of October.

Count on it.

... Imminent Tehran Raid

More likely it points to the imminent return to the U.S. of the Eisenhower after an extended deployment to the gulf.

I imagine the inside of Obama’s brain is like a tornado right now. Actual facts have created a storm when they confronted his Marxist crap to the point that he doesn’t know which way is up. Soros is pulling on one side, the unions on another, the citizens left and right are pissed, the former allies are pissed, Hugo and his ilk laugh at him, the Gulf spill has made his malicious incompetence all too clear, he’s not sure that he wants to completely destroy this country because then the golden goose will be dead.

I’ve seen a deer in the headlights look on his face lately, the cockiness is gone. He can’t blame Bush anymore and there’s no BS big enough to cover his butt. I bet he’s trying to figure out how to not go down as the worst POTUS in history...and good luck with that.

The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

the USS Harry Truman (CVN-75) is now right next to USS Eisenhower (CVN 69), both of which are waiting patiently just off Iran.

It's all true.

One Carrier Strike Group arrives on scene to relieve another CSG that has been there a few months so they can go home. It's as routine an event as the sun rising.

I'm about 99% sure Barry would order an attack on Israeli forces before he harmed any of his slave-trading, demon-possessed Muslim brethren.

I think a lot of us are about to leave this world, one way or another.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Okay, you’ve got some really big weapons sitting in a strategic area of the world. The question is who would the snot-nosed little Alinsky technobrat in the White House point them at? And would he pull the trigger?

Is the Force in place to take on Iran or to shoot down the IAF if Israel makes the move?

If Obama ordered our military to shoot down any IAF aircraft attacking Iran, there would be a revolt in this country hopefully followed shortly thereafter by a coup.

If anything, I’d say the military TOLD him that Israel was going for it, and we’d better be there to keep the entire area from exploding.

That's the most logical reason.

I’ve been worried about that. Send them out there with rules of engagement that prevent them from defending themselves, then give them all posthumous “Courageous Restraint” medals.

I would be shocked if Obama did this but maybe his political fortunes are bad enough....

More likely there the threaten to shoot down Israeli planes going to strike at Iran is my guess.

Yes, but 0bama wouldn't let a crisis of this nature go to waste. Recall it was the democrats a few years back...pushing for a draft. 0bama is looking for a reason to assemble...

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Scared yet? We wondered how he would bring it about...yeah...a blow out in the ME. Whew...

There is NO WAY the Kenyan Usurper will order an attack on Iran. If we attack, rest assured that it will be the act of the Joint Chiefs ACTING IN THEIR OWN.

I’m suspicious of anything that is reported by a person with the name of Tyler Durden, the name of the psycho character played by Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

LOL ...

If you expect me to believe that they are such yahoos and cowboys... then you probably also expect me to believe that they are also planning on militarily taking over the White House, too ... :-)

Hey! That would be easier than attacking Iran ...
