Trying to fact check the 5 nuclear carriers (a la Pearl Harbor) in Norfolk per Obama?

Not really I would think, considering there was war raging across much of europe, parts of asia and northern africa at the time.

Your post shows how much you know of the US's mentality of isolationism at the time...Many Americans didn't give two shits about the war in Europe and wanted to stay out of it. They were only drawn into the war because of Pearl Harbor.

The battleships in Pearl were neatly arranged in pairs with no anti-torpedo netting around them...all of the fighters were lined up neatly on the airfields. The US Navy had no idea that the Japanese would even think about a surprise attack there.

Yeah well the #1 reason to study history is to learn and not repeat it. But I'm sure that an unprovoked attack will never happen again...

Didn`t Iran claim to have a fully operational stealth fighter...lolol

Yes, but it's so stealthy even they can't find it.

Besides, Iran is locked in a brutal war with giant rats and can't spare any forces to attack the Great Satan until they've beaten back all the little Fur Satans.

I don't listen to people who call other people idiots, but fail to spell check their own work.

Now come on doc...we all know he meant incoming religious texts...in which case missals would have possibly been correct.

Any way you look at it, if you think an attack is likely/possible or not, its still a downright STUPID IDEA to put all your eggs in one basket.

Obviously the US ego is to large to learn from your own mistakes(pearl harbor)

Exactly....what if there was a nuclear 'accident' (as unlikely as this might be) aboard one of the carriers, it would take out the others nearby....odder things have happened, right??? well probably not that...
