USS Enterprise to be target of false flag operation?

here's something that hadn't crossed my mind... certainly i had thought of the possibility of a staged "incident" sparking a u.s. attack, but with the enterprise due to arrive in the gulf soon (earlier post here), this bears some consideration...

It was suggested a year ago, that the USS Enterprise was a likely “false flag” target to provide the Bush administration with an excuse to attack Iran. The ship’s last spell in the Gulf passed without incident (let’s hope it will again), but it is now returning to apparently replace the USS Nimitz.

The USS Enterprise is due to be decommissioned in 2014-2015 and is the oldest aircraft carrier in the fleet (launched in 1960), so one could say it is “expendable” on the grounds of age. But what other reasons are there to believe that a carrier might be a possible target for a “new” 9/11?

[...]

A great deal of pressure has been placed on Iran (because of its nuclear program etc) and it is often accused of having links with Al-Qaeda and supporting insurgents in Iraq, a view that the Bush administration would like the world to adopt. But after the lies told before the invasion of Iraq, something more convincing would be required before any action is taken against Iran.

The sinking of an old aircraft carrier (with a crew of 5,000) might be sufficient, especially if we are told that Iran “allegedly” had some involvement in it (maybe a missile attack?). But who could say for sure whether such a missile was launched from Iran, or some remote area in Iraq?

an "incident" of that magnitude, the sinking of an aircraft carrier and the incredible loss of life that would go with it, would surely fulfill the dire predictions of paul craig roberts... i'm sure it's also the wet dream of folks like santorum, cheney and chertoff... the country would descend into total and complete shock, the dogs of war would immediately be unleashed, and any skeptical or dissenting voices would be silenced and probably arrested for treason... just one more item to add to the list of horrifying possibilities posed by our criminal president and his compadres...
