I'm convinced that DPRK is in cahoots with Saddam, and is using this as a means to distract our attention with having to deal with two fronts at once.

The exact same thing I stated to hubby last night...

Isn't the Kitty Hawk on station in that region at this point?

The Kitty Hawk is in Japan.

hay ravi,

from globalsecurity.org :

"However, on February 7 various media reports indicated that the Kitty Hawk had been ordered to deploy to the Persian Gulf and that the USS Carl Vinson and her Battle Group would be moved into the Western Pacific to deter North Korea.

"On February 16, 2003 the Kitty Hawk passed through the Strait of Malacca.

Provided that the Kitty Hawk does not make any ports of call en route to the Persian Gulf she should be in position for a war with Iraq on February 23, 2003.

USS Kitty Hawk is slated for replacement by CVN-77 in 2008."

You can link to the Kityy Hawk website all day long - but if you think they are going to tell you where they are right now you're badly mistaken.

China is behind the NK noise. 1) to test how US responds to potential of 2 fronts and 2) long term strategy is to remove USA from Asia, which China sees as their sole sphere of influence.

Keep an eye on the puppetmaster
