Info on the build up of gun ships in the Persian Gulf. |
|
Edited on Sun May-14-06 05:19 PM by napi21
There have been several posts here about the deployment of gun ships to the Persian Gulf. At the time, I kept asking if they were just replacing ships already there that have finished their tour. I lso said I would check with my son on Sunday. Well, I did.
Things aren't looking good folks. 30,000 sailors have been asked to leave their ships and join the GROUND CREW with guns in Iraq! He also did say there is a build up of ships in the Persian Gulf, but has NO information about a possible attack on Iran.
It's sure not sounding good!

4. Is the Enterprise one of them? My pilot neighbor is on that |
|
ship. He is commander of the pilots. I don't know the official title. He brought aboard 5 neighbors including my husband as visitors. They had to fly out to the ship and land on it. Exilerating to say the least. The men came back with some great stories.

6. 6/6/06 is a BETTER date for an "attack" on American soil... |
|
...that can be blamed on terrorists "harbored" by Iran.
Convenient we've got all those Nat'l Guard suddenly arrayed on the Southern border, ayap.

7. doesnt iran have sunburn missiles or the equivalant? |
|
these ships in the gulf may be like shooting ducks in a pond to them. bush could lose the biggest number of navy ships since pearl harbor and if the shia turn against the troops in iraq, they will be in deep shit with no way to get out.
this has the makings or real disaster for the us military. what is the fallback plan? nukes?
bushco is insane. truly.
