How ironic will it be if USS Cole delivers a little payback on these sheetheads.
If they are sailing with some Amphib ships then I have to believe that we may be serious this time.

Great pictures.

We have the power, no doubt about it. But at this point, with Reid and Pelosi running congress, Bush a lame duck, and the State Department and intelligences agencies undermining our positions, I’m not sure whether anyone believes we will use it.

What the Dems don’t seem to understand is that if you show weakness and keep backing down, then war is more likely, not less likely.

1. I didn't know that Ospreys were being fielded by hte US Marines.
2. Three Arliegh burke class destroyers; nice!
90-96 VLS tubes. That's an easy 90-150 Tomahawk cruise missiles.

A thing of beauty! My Ex was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk. I loved that ship. :)

USS Cole? Say what? Isn’t that the very ship the terrorists bombed and on which several US sailors were murdered while the ship was refueling in the harbor in Yemen? You know, the bombing that Clinton did nothing about, a habit he had.

Prayer for Those in the Armed Services
O God, we implore Thee, watch over those exposed to the horrors of war and to the spiritual dangers of a soldier's,
a sailor's, or an airman's life. Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it,
or fear to practice it. Do Thou by Thy grace fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that, being preserved
from vice, and serving Thee faithfully, they may be ready to meet death whenever it may happen, through Christ our
Lord.

O Sacred Heart, inspire them with sorrow for sin, and grant
them pardon. Mother of God, be with them in battle, and,
if they should be called to make the supreme sacrifice,
obtain for them that they may die in the grace of Thy Divine Son.


May their guardian angels protect them. Amen.

Ah...another dog and pony show! I’ll bet the mullahs in Iran are really scared! They’ll surely stop their nuke-building and ideas about giving nukes to Syria and Sudan now.

I don’t believe it. I don’t trust these savages. Assad knows TSHTF shortly. Watch where the rockets come from. If they come from anywhere near the Golan, Syria will be toast.
