This sort of thing happens every six months.
The media is just hyping it up because war scares get better ratings.

Mainly cause what is going on with Iraq, Afghanistan and maybe soon Iran. These aircraft carriers are considered floating/mobile islands. They have special forces on board (Navy Seals), Marines, Sailors and many types of air crafts.

There is one additional carrier in the gulf. Not "carriers". Also, the carrier that has been there for 6 months already, is due for relief. They ( and the rest of their task force) will be leaving soon.

Only one new carrier...but it takes a "group" with it...they don't go alone...
Iran will see it as a threat...they will make a move against them...we will have justification for retaliation...
You will see an action against Iran soon...without a pullout from Iraq...

It is ultimately a reminder to the Iranian government that they can push the United States government only so far - and they are flirting with the outter limit as it is.
All aircraft carriers carry nuclear ordinance........our nukes are bigger than their nukes, and we have more of them..........

air force can now fly farther than ever (middle easy) and it is the best millitary strategy when trying to keep down casulties without just giving up. Our air is the strongest of the world. Lets Use It

Beef up our forces and show force in the minds of Iran's leaders.

To show Iran that just because we are involved in Iraq doesn't mean they can do whatever they please.
