Maybe we are there to protect Iran from Israel?

Also, I don’t see how a single strike group with 6,000 sailors and around 80 aircraft (presumably, mostly F-18’s, not heavy bombers), can have much impact on any war between Israel and Iran. When we invaded Iraq, we had 500,000 ground troops. I’m not sure how many aircraft carriers were involved, but it had to be more than one. And Iran is bigger and better defended than Iraq was.[/quote]

we went into Iraq this last time with 300,000 men.

while a carrier can hit a lot of key targets, it won’t matter.

we may hit the nuke stuff but thats it.

I think all parties are carrying nukes and it will be interesting to see what the Russians do. I cannot see them sitting this one out. Is this going to be Obama’s Bay of Pigs?
