Just hope these big blue water ships are not confined to the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf. Also hope their escorts are well armed with anti missile defense systems.

So, Obama is putting up a defense shield against Israel’s likely attacks on Iran? Just in time for the GOP Convention and the subsequent elections?

You have to believe the admirals are thrilled about going near the gulf

Our navy has not been tested in a battle situation where they have undergone attacks

So...let’s push another ten or fifteen thousand men and women into this wag the dog pressure cooker. What the hell happens if the Iranians decide to use their new NORK nukes on our carriers instead of Israel?

We are acting pretty stupid these days.
