for the real propaganda theorists

Seven US carrier groups (half the entire US carrier fleet) have just set sail with destination secret and wargames mooted. In September 2001, the US and UK ran what were then the largest wargames ever planned, Operations Bright Star and Swift Sword 2. At the same time, again, two US carrier groups arrived on station in the Gulf of Arabia. The resources needed to "respond" to the "surprise attack" just happened to be in place when needed, in operations planned months in advance.

Is another 9/11 about to occur? By whom?

Navy to Deploy Carrier Groups to Test Rapid Readiness

A major exercise soon to be underway will have a large part of the Navy fleet deploying out of Norfolk.

WAVY News 10 has learned the Navy is sending seven carrier strike groups out to sea.

The exercise is designed to test the Navy's new rapid deployment readiness.

Several Norfolk-based carrier strike groups will participate. The USS George Washington is already deployed. Two others, the USS Enterprise and USS Harry S Truman will leave soon.

Other carriers involved in the exercise include the USS John F. Kennedy, the USS John S. Stennis, and the USS Ronald Reagan - which left Norfolk on Thursday.

While the Navy won't say where the seven carrier groups are going, the carriers not already deployed are expected to be gone for only one to two months.
