The Marine assault vessel Kearsarge seems like a odd choice of ship to push forward towards Iran since it is such a tempting target. It has the latest state-of-the-art command and control systems for flagship command duty, a rescue platform for downed pilots and a hospital ship
Before the US begins sustained bombing they create a CSAR structure. Designed to locate, secure and retrieve downed pilots. The Kearsarge is ideal for that task since we don't want "boots on the ground" Cue cool rock video:.
Iran promises lots and lots of missiles so we need all the air force assets based in Qatar, Patriot batteries and who knows how many Phalanx rounds. Here is Kearsarge's FB page. facebook.com/Kearsarge/
This is shaping up to be another Afghanistan 2001 type attack which involved aerial bombardment of targets, coordinated by small groups of CIA and SF units on the ground. Right now there is too much overt PR and clumsy positioning. dvidshub.net/video/680150/b…
Afghanistan was not only the poorest, worst armed and trained nation on earth it had only 20 million people. Iran has 81 million people and a functional military. We still don't know what the "credible threat" is other than Israeli false flag/disinfo theamericanconservative.com/articles/is-am…
