5. this is just to cause gas to go up over $10 a gallon.. and crash the economy, so he can declare a

'state of emergency' and invoke his daddy's New World Order exec orders to suspend the constitution fr 5 years and declare martial law

REMEMBER the Muslims consider the enemy of any other attacker of another Muslim also their enemy.. this will unite the Islamic nations into a unified force.. against us.

6. Of course

your number require that the ships carry no other missiles but Tomahawks, no SM-2 anti-aircraft missiles, primary role for the Ticonderogas, no ASROCs in an area where submarines are present.
