"Pentagon sends ship for Afghanistan duty; Increased attacks led to carrier move" by Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press | July 9, 2008
Bombs were pushed into position to be loaded onto aircraft yesterday aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. The carrier was moved out of the Persian Gulf and to the Gulf of Oman. (Specialist Second Class James R. Evans/US Navy)
Just wondering how many innocent people (because they are ALL innocent of that false-flag, black-bag, inside-job op) are going to be standing under those weapons of mass murder and destruction.
You know, men, women, children and animals? And this isn't just strictly for Afghanistan!
I mean, c'mon, read between the lines of all this agenda-pushing:
Now they can hit Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran just a bit easier now!!!!
WASHINGTON - Worried about increasing insurgent attacks in Afghanistan, the US military says it is sending extra air power there by shifting an aircraft carrier away from the Iraq war.
Defense officials said yesterday that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was moved out of the Persian Gulf and to the Gulf of Oman, shortening the time that the carrier's strike planes must fly to support combat in Afghanistan.
Here is a question: How are airplanes out in the water going to affect "on-the-ground" reality -- other than kill loads of innocent people as I already mentioned?
I CONDEMN the god-damned U.S. for this WANTON MURDER and SLAUGHTER based on a fucking LIE!!!!!!!!!
The Navy routinely moves ships in and out of the Persian Gulf, where they support America's two ongoing wars and serve as a show of force to Iran and sign of support to regional allies.
As if it is our God-given fucking right to be there!
Yet Iran fires of a missile and has a few war games and the AmeriKn MSM is all atwitter!
The departure of the aircraft carrier from the Persian Gulf still leaves a number of other ships there, including the amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu, other amphibious ships, and a couple of destroyers.
There is still also "significant air power" remaining on the ground inside Iraq, one official said.
Meanwhile in the seventh year of war in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said last week that he has "real concern" about a sharp rise in attacks in the East, a development he blamed on Pakistan's failure to put pressure on insurgents there.
You see where this is all headed, right?

KABUL - Afghanistan blamed a foreign intelligence agency for the bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul, making a veiled but clear reference to its eastern neighbor, Pakistan.
I gotta clue as to who might be behind that, too, CUI BONO?
Yesterday's accusation came as the commander of the NATO military mission in Afghanistan, US Army General David D. McKiernan, said increased violence in Afghanistan is due in part to a porous border that allows insurgents to resupply in Pakistan and cross freely into Afghanistan.
The bloggers were so right about articles appearing in the paper demonizing Pakistan and emphasizing the "threat."
President Hamid Karzai's spokesman said Afghan officials have evidence showing foreigners were behind Monday's suicide bombing. He did not provide any specifics.
Humayun Hamidzada did not mention Pakistan's intelligence agency by name but told reporters it was "pretty obvious" who was behind the attack. Afghanistan previously blamed Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, for a recent assassination attempt on Karzai.
"The sophistication of this attack, and the kind of material that was used in it and the specific targeting; everything has the hallmark of a particular intelligence agency that has conducted similar terrorist acts inside Afghanistan in the past. We have sufficient evidence to say that," Hamidzada said.
"The project was designed outside Afghanistan. It was exported to Afghanistan," he added.
US officials have blamed rising violence in Afghanistan on peace deals that Pakistan's government has negotiated in its tribal regions along the border. June was the deadliest month in Afghanistan for foreign troops since the US-led invasion ousted a Taliban regime in late 2001.
McKiernan said he believes Pakistan's military leadership recognizes it has a problem with militants in the tribal regions along the frontier with Afghanistan."

Pakistan's real rulers when it comes right down to it.
And just so you really get the point:
"Afghan Bombing Sends Stark Message to India"
NEW DELHI — Last year alone, the Indian Border Roads Organization came under 30 rocket attacks as it built the 124-mile stretch of road across Nimroz Province that will ultimately link landlocked Afghanistan to a seaport in Iran.
Gee, WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT?!?
CUI BONO, huh?
So JUST WHO is attacking those roads?
Not surprisingly, Pakistan was swiftly blamed for the bombing, and just as swiftly, denied having a hand in it. The attack also set off a lively policy debate, first over whether India should complement its reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan with military boots on the ground.
Ooooooh, CUI BONO?
Yes, MORE TROOPS!
WHO WANTS MORE TROOPS in AFGHANISTAN!!!!!!!
Think the U.S. gives a shit if they are HINDU TROOPS in a MUSLIM COUNTRY!?!
That ain't a good recipe at all!!!!!!
The United States long ago leaned on India to send troops to Iraq and to use its influence on Myanmar to push for democracy. India refused both requests. Afghanistan is in some ways the test case of the extent to which India is willing to use its hard power to advance its strategic and commercial interests.
And WHO are the TESTERS, readers?!
