WHO IS CLOSER!?

IRAQ OR NORTH KOREA!?

IRAQ!

No worries Spooge, you'll get drafted soon.[/quote:cf420]

technically NK is the easier target to reach, they are in unbounded waters, it would be a lot easier to sail half a dozen CVBGs and the same number of ARGs in there without trouble. Whereas in the Gulf you sail that many forces in and an Iraqi could toss a rock out to sea and still hit a ship.
