I propose we change the name of the USS Stennis to USS Liberty and
park it off the coast of North Korea.

Seems to me that any ship named Liberty is likely to go undefended
by the Bush administration.


Then you are wrong on doctrine. People have learned from the Liberty
and Pueblo. Especially after the RN sailors got abducted by Iran, no
one is going to be sleeping on cover protocols again any time soon.
Also, if Iran and the US were shooting at each other I doubt Israel
would send any forces within a few hundred miles. No point and the
cost would outweigh any benefit.
