"are you suggesting that the only reason we would have a carrier group in the northern arabian sea was to keep tabs on Saddam? HAHAHAHAHA

that's hilarious!
to which you replied:

"Is it? Every time we entered the Gulf, we went straight to Kuwait. We sat on the Kuwait-Iraq border while the ARG provided air support for Operation Southern Watch."

All I am saying is that I am sure you know what amphibious ready groups do more than me.... just as I am sure that I know what carrier battle groups do more than you. And I certainly have a better developed sense of what the costs are for such an operation as a percentage of the defense department budget. Now...do you really want to dispute that?
