We have an incredibly weak president and a Congress full of idiots. You actually have to stand for something to govern well. You actually have to govern but most importantly, you have to stop campaigning. That is the only tactic Zero has accomplished: He knows how to campaign well, and how to raise the Strawman Argument every, single time in every one of his speeches thus far: “I know there are those who (Say, Believe, Think, Act)...take your pick.
The rest of the world smells blood in the water.
Buckle up kids.
You said it friend. We have been here before. And it doesn't end well.
Iran knows it has an opportunity with a weak president, do-nothing Congress and the RINOs. With a GOP president being sworn in on January 20, 2013 the clock is ticking.
Yes, been messaging a nice young man in Russia on youtube about Queen (our favorite band) and started talking about the US and the world (he had heard how the US was doing financially) and we both feel this is the beginning of a time as was in WW2, but probably worse.
So here we are, two people a half a planet away and we both feel the same thing coming on. They are stockpiling what they can get and he is somewhat wealthy in Russian society. He fears for his schoolmates (he is in his 20’s now) that were poor and don’t have anything to spare to stockpile. He also recognizes that Russia will put money into military over feeding the population.
But this one won't take 5 years. It will be over much, much quicker. And the outcome will be much, much worse.
The Iranian naval deployment is a cover for the sea shipment of weapons to HAMAS. They will escort the freighters under the ruse of protecting commerce against pirates.
Send in the subs...
The Iranian naval deployment could also be to protect a shipment from North Korea(if you get my drift). But fear not...Obama is busy writing his letter to the UN Security Council. (eye roll)
I don’t think a shipment to Iran directly from North Korea would come through Gulf of Aden ...
maybe indirectly, like something flown into Syria, and then delivered via the Suez by ship
Or maybe Iran will be protecting something arriving via a Kenya connection- Iran-Kenya talks have been “curious”?
Or as others have suggested, an arms shipment to Hamas
Iran has sent six warships to international waters
Hope they didn’t forget to mix the oil with the gas again!! Most old outboards were 2 stroke engines.

Barry in way over his pay grade ping.
That’s why Biden said he would be tested. He was well aware of the fact that the POSCIC is a complete wimp.
It was very easy for him to snipe and second guess President Bush's foreign policies.
But now... it doesn't seem that easy huh Obama?
Iran has sent six warships to international waters, including the Gulf of Aden, to show its ability to confront any foreign threats, its naval commander said on Monday.Seems like a good time for the IAF to test their anti-ship weapons. Six times.

The United States believes that areas of common interest involving Iran and the U.S. could yield greater cooperation and understanding between the 2 countries, even as the U.S. continues to emphasize the importance of Iran fulfilling all its international obligations.
The stabilization of Afghanistan is one area where the U.S. and Iran share a common goal. Diminishing the scourge of drug trafficking is another. In both areas Iran and the U.S. have had some productive collaboration. Defending the Gulf of Aden from attacks by Somali pirates is a third such area.
