If we are to believe recent reports about aircraft carriers leaving Japan and the US for the Middle East, then why would we strike before those ships get there? Wouldn't we wait for the aircraft carriers to set up station and provide air cover before the full-fledged attacks begin?

lol.
The WTC terrorists staged a raid on New York City in broad daylight during morning rush hour and managed to destroy an icon of the modern business world.
But US special forces need the dark of the moon to go into some dirt camps in a third world hell hole and twist necks and kick in computer screens...
[sighs] What you say may be true. But it sure sounds stupid.
The Islamic Revolution (or who ever is running this attack on the US) is operating creatively, zealously and boldly. If whatever segement of the Islamic world that is standing on the sidelines (and whatever other enemies America may have) sees that the US cannot or will not respond with equal boldness and creativity, our enemies will only be empowered by our timidity.
