Quick question: Is there
anyone out there, and yes, I'm including those of you with shame-cracked "W '04" stickers still on your SUVs, that could
possibly believe that this could be construed as "defensive?"
How very sad.
The U.S. Navy staged its latest show of military force off the Iranian coastline on Wednesday, sending two aircraft carriers and landing ships packed with 17,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to carry out unannounced exercises in the Persian Gulf.
The carrier strike groups led by the USS John C. Stennis and USS Nimitz were joined by the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard and its own strike group, which includes landing ships carrying members of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Groovy. Because we need three aircraft carriers and 17,000 Marines for "exercises."
Don't we have to finish one disastrous war/troop occupation before we can start another one? Oh yeah, Japan, Germany, The Philippines, Guam. I guess not.
