#3 And one in the South China Sea.

Sure is convenient that with things heating up in the ME we can afford to be without a flattop in the Persian Gulf due to the centrally located airfields in the quagmire that is Iraq.

#6 Is my imagination playing tricks on me, or have we had unusually little news lately on the doings of U.S. forces in Iraq? Makes me wonder if they're busy preparing for something...

#8 Donk Talking Point on Middle East and North Korea is now clear:

Previous administrations were fully engaged in diplomacy.

Bush has treated diplomacy as a dirty word. AWOL for 5 years. Yadda.

This will sell well among the fools.

#9 Some Repub commenters on TV this AM saying Bush has to get engaged, too.

But I think his strategy was to give the Paleos and their sponsors room either to build a peaceful state or provoke an open confrontation. They've chosen the latter.

#11 Me thinks the lack of american dead in Iraq is due to the fact that the Iraqi army is rapidly coming up to speed and.....pardon my cynicism BUT.........we are probably kicking the crap out of the local terrorists and baathists with few casualties so the MSM doesnt want to report on our successes......so................F@#k em the MSM are morons and at least 85% of america knows it.
Sayonara MSM.......

#13 How about marauding the high seas in search of adventure? That sounds so much more romantic.

#14 Somebody is hanging out near Somalia looking for pirates and such, but surely it wouldn't take a carrier to accomplish that...
