"I would demand a funeral down Pennsylvania Ave, same as Reagan's. God Bless My Sailor Step Son. Apparently the fleet of carrirs on their way to the middle east, it's a blockaid bush is cooking up against Iran. It's all to help his election and degrading personal character. It has nothing to do with the USA. Hold on to your shots...the world will be even more dangerous for American citizens and the world. WW3 is coming."

Has anybody heard anything about this?

3. Does sync with the known massive movement of naval vessels

around the country. Almost all battle groups are at sea with sealed orders. Also ships from other nations. Maybe just a normal deployment but then again.

4. This is "Operation Summer Pulse '04"

A major show of US force worldwide:

"...WASHINGTON (Jun. 3, 2004) -- The Department of Defense announced June 2 that this summer, simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs) will demonstrate the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe by operating in five theaters with other U.S., allied and coalition military forces..."

This is likely a set up for some "fast reaction" strikes against "terrorist" targets as the election campaign gets up to full steam. Voters just love cruise missile strikes against savage muslim terraists, ya know.

6. Amazing that mainstream press aren't reporting this.

I suppose the media whores are waiting upon the WH to announce it so they don't ruin the surprise factor and any staging the WH is planning for the unveiling.

9. Pitiful bastards. Impotent Fools

This once again shows me what a bunch of adolescent fools and Impotent men run the country. C students, D students, people who are criminally insane. That includes some Dems!
God, this country is totally f*cking insane.

11. And If Iran Is The Target, It Makes Sense Massive Naval . . .

aviation would be required. The Saudi's would probably not allow use of air bases in SA to launch a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear infrastructure. I doubt that the bases being built in Iraq are complete to the point to adequately replace the SA bases.

5. This is a long-planned exercise

Nothing more. This exercise has been planned for a long time. It's a standard thing.

There's no way Bush could possibly think about going into another nation right now, the troops just don't exist.

7. I wouldn't put it past Shrub to

start in with Iran and Syria. He's got to do it before next January. I thought that was part of his plans from the beginning. Look for some of the forces to be pulled out of Iraq, since we're turning the country around.

8. he's gonna have some trouble doing it in january... <eom>

10. however, WWIII

would allow him to cancel the election in November.
