Looney site...but good analysis...war w/Pakistan
So Everyone knows this is an Old article- but I have it on good authority that the Aircraft carrier is still in the same position. This was dated 7-12-2008, I have No Idea why it is pinned, but I will do my best to support it and answer any questions concerning the current situation or describe what has transpired since then.

War On Terror: As Washington moves an aircraft carrier off Pakistan's coast, U.S. commandos are reportedly poised to launch raids against terror targets inside Pakistan. It's about time.

It appears hawks within the Pentagon and CIA have won a long-running policy battle with risk-averse officials in the administration and diplomats at the State Department. The result is a more aggressive, go-it-alone policy in response to Pakistan's failure to disrupt terrorist training camps and cross-border attacks against our troops and the Afghan government.

The battle group ostensibly will provide air support for special forces who reportedly have been given the green light — after tumultuous debate within the White House — to conduct raids deep inside Pakistan's tribal belt to eradicate al-Qaida and Taliban bases. Source:
