Enterprise, along with other ships in the strike group, is heading overseas for a regularly scheduled deployment. However, it is unclear when they will be coming home.

"We provide maritime options to the president and the reason we don't know is because we always leave our options open and for us to set a date would not be set some expectations we may or may not meet," Captain Ronald Horton the Enterprise Commanding Officer tells Ten On Your Side.

3. Kick - this is important to note...

...General Lynch was pimping the idea that Iran is arming insurgents in Iraq on CNN less than 15 minutes ago. I really fear that the Bush admin will use this as an excuse to hit Iran (since it would insert Iran into the Iraq conflict and Bush could say he has authorization to strike Iran under the IWR).

September is only two months away - the breaking point for most of Bush's repug congressional support (with the Petraeus report coming out). If they're going to strike Iran, that would be the likeliest time.
