Do we still have a carrier group over there in the Persian Gulf?


There's always at least 1 CBG in the region, either in the Gulf or the Arabian Sea , plus a MEU, usually off Oman or East Africa.

There needs to be some serious thought that this could be a set up by others to try and draw the US and Iran into a war.

I’d bet after the first tanker bombings we focused our military intelligence on the area - and we’ll probably have a pretty good idea whose responsible within the next 48 hrs.

These crazy Iranians are asking for problems huh?




Well, when Obama and the Democrats give them nukes, they are emboldened to do whatever they want. This is 100% a result of the Obama regime. You lefties must be so proud.

The US-Canada alliance is oil independent. We are exporting 3M BPD. Independence from OPEC was the obviously intended qualifier in the post you addressed. The US is not dependent on OPEC.

Looks like the U.S. may get that war they’ve wanted with Iran for a while. John McCain is smiling down on us.
The US wants war with Iran and Iran attacks two oil tankers for seemingly no reason. What luck!

Iran is denying it was them. Several folks claim the damage is c/w a torpedo or mine.

It could be Iran, and it could be someone else (someone trying to ignite tension and light up the fuse to ignite a war between US and Iran).
Not sure if it’s in Iran best interest to attack a shipment heading to Japan while at the same time hosting the Japanese PM!

Which, of course, is the continuation of a trend that predates Trump. I support Trump's positions on energy independence but I'm not going to pretend he's wholly or even largely responsible for the improvement in our positioning (which despite being obviously true offends some of the more devout worshippers).
