She thinks the British kidnappings are a ploy to justify aggression toward Iran... My brother- in- law along with hundreds of fellow G.I.s were deployed from their naval base in California back in January. They boarded aircraft carriers along with thousands of other troops from around the nation. Their destination? Waters off the coast of Iran. My sister talks to him when she can and he still has no idea what they are going to be doing there... What do you think is going on?

I'm not a fan of Rosie O'Donnell... I used her name to grab your attention, and obviously it worked... but what do you think about the U.S. deploying so many naval troops to Iran back in January? Did you even know about it? I didn't hear about it in the news...

A training mission? With Thousands of troops... Please...They were training before they left... Don't be so simple minded...

Couple of things here. Rosie could never be right. (Yea, you got my attention.) If you only look at the news for your news, you are in sad shape. I knew of the deployments because I look at a bunch of websites and magazines and ask questions. I rarely see the news. My husband works all day, and then to relax, does research on the web. When he finds something he knows I won't find because of the source, he sends it to me. Stop just watching the news and you will be more informed. Ask more questions of people you know in the military to stay on top of things, and just stay in touch with those that are deployed. My nephew doesn't have time to email everyone, so he sends emails to certain people who forward it to family and friends for him. It's great!

The exercises that were put together were obviously thought out long before hand. Have any idea how long it takes to repositions ships on the fly? The aggression is justified in my eyes. Ms. O'Donnell is completely off the mark on this.
**Edit**
Think about it friend. It would take a week or so for a carrier to be sent from the West Coast to the Persian Gulf. The exercises started a few days after the capture. Large ships like those cannot travel that fast therefore they must have been en-route or already there. And good luck getting the Iranians to cooperate in their own destruction.

You obviously have NO idea of how the military works.
Yes, there are training missions involving thousands of people. Korea has one every year, as do the forces in Europe. These exercises are massive in scale, involve just about everyone in the theatre, and take days and sometimes weeks to complete.
The Navy does the same thing....after all, when the Navy exercises, what else can they do except sail off somewhere and hold training? Exercises like this are planned months and years in advance, and the exercise that's going on in the Middle East right now is no exception.
As for Rosie O'Donnell, she's full of crap. Always has been, always will be. She's a Demoncrat who hates Bush, so of course she's going to take every opportunity to say something bad about him. She's nothing but a fat loser, and I can't stand the sight of her.

I think Rosie O'Donnell is a big fat loud, big mouth pig that is depressed, and to stupid and ugly to get a man, and the dogs wouldnt hold still for her so she found a gold digging women to sleep with her, and spend her money. THANK GOD that idiot isnt running our country. Iran took the British soldiers out of Iraqi water because the people in the country are turning on the leaders over them being cut off from the rest of the world. Lots of our soldiers are being deployed every month to let the soldiers that have been there a year go home. I do think if Irans president wants to act like Saddam he'll get exactly what Saddam got.

Rosie O'Donnell has never been right - she is a big fat idiot & always has been a two bit comedian.
Your brother in law was deployed on training missions close to Iran because of their threat to use nuclear weapons. Did you miss all news for the last 6-8 months? If he is willing to tell your sister military secret destinations, maybe that is why no one has told him where they are going. You think?

Tokyo Rosie is a fat slob. She should be deported to Iran or France. I wish she would keep her mouth shut. Everytime she opens it there is such a stench in the air.

The deployment is a classic way to rattle the saber. Presidents have used it for a long time. Thing to remember about that saber is that it is quite capable of cutting off a head or two.

Rosie O'Donnell is too far to the left. She is wrong because she did not did her homework.

A plot against Iran that the Iranians are cooperating with?
It's not like they deny they captured those sailors.
Rosie is a stupid loudmouthed *****.
