U.S. to Move Over 100 Warplanes Toward Mideast

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday ordered more than 100 military aircraft to move toward the Middle East region in the wake of last week's attack on America, defense officials said.
The officials, who asked not to be identified, would not say exactly where the fighters, bombers and support aircraft would go. But they told Reuters they were expected to begin moving toward bases in or near the Gulf region as early as Thursday.

Should the news really be reporting something like this? Let's hope it's a red herring.

Well, the "Middle East" or the "Gulf region" are really big places.
Not to mention.... if you didn't figure out for yourself that we're sending probably not 100, but a buttload more planes, then where have you been?
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.... even the Jawas in Afghanistan could figure that out.

Uh...for all you people that think this will let everyone know where our aircraft will be...think again.
Aircraft carriers have a tactical range of over 1000 miles. That means the really big boat can be over 1000 miles away from something, and the aircraft it supports can easily do whatever they need to do it, be it air support, recon, or turning it into a 25,000 hole golf course.

Oh...100 warplanes...that sounds like it'll do the job...especially considering that the AF on one of our carriers...that's just 1 carrier..can overpower 70% of the other countries of the world's entire Air Force...
