6. The second aircraft carrier is a "reminder" and not a "threat"
And I thought Bush said he doesn't "do" nuance.

"...Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was quoted yesterday while in Mexico as saying that the 2nd aircraft carrier is a “reminder” and not a threat or elevation of pressure on Iran. ..."
