On Oct. 31, the two nuclear-powered carriers, the
USS Eisenhower
and USS
Enterprise, arrived in Bahrain, accompanied by their carrier strike
groups. On Nov 9th, the USS
Iwo
Jima, and the USS
Boxer
also arrived. The presence of these carriers, combined with
Israel's talk of a Iranian strike, sort of makes a person wonder if Bush
is up to something.
Assault Carriers
and
Full carriers
This is an odd predicament
No one will stand for another invasion, with
thousands of dead US servicemen. If America was to attack, it will be
nuclear, but something needs to happen to enrage the US public to allow
nukes. If Israel attacked Iran, and Iran nuked Tel Aviv, half the world
would celebrate, and the other half would be holding back the chuckles.
The only workable scenario
If Bush plans on going into Iran, there must be a
massive attack on the Fifth Fleet, or a nuke in an American city. The
trouble is - Israel knows it too.
