USS John C. Stennis CVN-74 Leads U.S. Presence in Persian Gulf

My brother is on that ship... Very scarey.

Three to five years after the Israeli Zionists get the Americans involved into another war with Iran which like Iraq and Afghanistan wars they will not provide a soldier or a dollar of their own the Americans should expect 20 dollar per gallon gas and long waits at the pump due to fuel shortages. Persian Gulf and most of the war zones will be an environmental catastrophe. Within the same period our national debt will triple and most banks will collapse, the military will be paroling your neighborhood smashing doors for anyone who opposes the government, the unemployment will be at 50 percent or higher and the military will be the only major employer, and food shortages due to high cost of energy, Since Iran is the first line of defense for Russia and China this situation will get a lot worse with the strong possibilities that Europe, Russia and China will get involved with the detonation of multiple nuclear warheads in all directions.

I am an American, as proud of my country as any person would be of theirs. I was in our military and know of some of its capabilities. We are mighty, we might lose one aircraft carrier in the event of attack but frankly, we have a bunch of them. Iran would litterally be pounded back into the stone age, destroyed into rubble, its people homeless and crying for their dead. For what I ask? Oil? World trade? To prove neither side will back down? War sucks, no matter who is in the right and in this case, prove to me who actually is? Neither side can afford the toll a conflict would bring, both in monetary losses and human loss. Its not the US's business to protect the world from every nation that has a gripe. Its not Irans place to tell anyone who can be in international waters but frankly, its not either governments place to put their people in harms way over such silly and fruitless reasons. The price of oil simply is not worth the sacrifice either nation would make. I for one would rather walk than to see our nations at war over this crap. The US has issues at home, pull out of all those coutries that do not want us there and come home, protect our own borders and spend our dollars here to keep us strong. Iran doesnt need us, want us or frankly, deserve us, they have nothing but oil to offer us. Its all about money, it always is regardless of what we are told. The world does not need a war to prove who is right. Our leaders would have us think its because of other reasons but anyone with half a brain knows its about keeping those oil dollars moving. Once again, the rich and powerful would offer up many lives to stay rich and powerful. What would happen? All those countries that hate the US would silently join in fighting us and where would it stop? Who would benefit? Who actually knows? War sucks. Thats been proven and in todays political climate, too many chiefs limit the ability of the Indians to fight and win. Thats been proven too. Do we want to kill over oil? I dont.

politicians make decision
soldier die in enforcing that decision
-------
i wonder when will be the time that politician too will take responsibility for their policy. it is unfair that only soldier lose their life while politician continue to sit in their comfort office room collect wages and payment

Iran is looking for a ship when the B2s will be doing the damage. how stupid can they be.

Iran can make me laugh.

Constitutionally speaking it is the job of a strong Navy to protect America...Standing Armies are an abomination.

There's more to it than this reporter even knows or the Iranians for that matter...I would think twice before even trying to mess with it but hey, it's your funeral.....go for it.

Iran can back down or go down.It's their choice.

Sdas: The US Navy is twice as big as Chinas', Russias', Pakistans, and Iran's Navy combined. Cheers. Peace will prevail.

Iran has drawn a line in the sand.
It's up to America to cross it but I doubt they will anytime soon.
Swallow your pride and be safe :)

Hey America....How do you like your first Communist President? Wake up or he won't be the last. Read The Riddle from Westport (AMAZON), a true story that will blow your mind as it takes you around the world while editorializing foreign and domestic issues of today. Inform yourself and tick off those seeking to destroy the country and enslave you in the process.
P.S. If you support Israel, this is for you...and if you think Islam is a war movement masquerading as a religion, then you will not be disappointed.

2007 2 Chinese sub emerged within striking range of the USS kitty Hawk, near the straits of Taiwan, evading an entire squadron of battleships, Aegis destroyers, Submarine hunters, and the 2 attack submarines accompanying it. Proving that the aircraft carrier is sunk a moments notice. The strait of Hormuz is a no go for American aircraft carriers with the 1,300 cruise missiles pointed at the coastline, America's only plan of action is to attack from the Persian Gulf, but it will simply not be enough to disable Iran's militarily and America do not know the level of sophistication Iranian anti ship and submarine warfare is at.

Takes a few well timed missiles to sink a 5 billion dollar behemoth, USA have never have to faced enemies with such capabilities till now :)
