This Meat Head would be damn funny if so many fine people weren't suffering because of his stupidity!

[Crazieman]

Probably protecting them...

[dp0622]

Does anyone else hate Harf’s face and condescending attitude, so prevalent in this administration. Psaki is a meatball but at least courteous and respectful. The IRS head, well I cant wait for Cruz to fire him, Lois is already comfortably retired....and the aircraft carrier will make sure the Iranian ships get to drop off their weapons safely

U.S. ships were "only" there to "ensure the shipping lanes remain open and safe"

We wouldn't want the Saudis sinking one of those Iranian ships, now would we?

[bray]

Does anyone in the world think the wimp would attack a real enemy. Wonder how many ROEs the carrier has before they can return fire?

Pray America is waking

Obama found out Israel is close to attacking Iran

[SnuffaBolshevik]

...Marie Harf insisted Tuesday that the U.S. ships were "only" there to "ensure the shipping lanes remain open and safe."

Where were they during the Somalia pirate scourge of a few years ago?

Methinks ValJar didn't have a dog in that hunt whereas she does in this one.

The real funny and dangerous thing is, someone else may want a shooting war between the US and Iran, like Russia or China.

All they have to do is wait until US ships are nearby and torpedo a couple of Iranian vessels and fire a rocket or two at the US Navy.

Instant conflagration.

Officials giving mixed messages on why US aircraft carrier shadowing Iranian convoy

Obama is probably tired of waiting for them to get nuke weapons, so he's ordered the carrier group to offload their inventory.

[Marcella]

It appears this is useless - Iran won't let us board their ships to look for weapons, so why are we there? We're going to bomb their ships if we can't board them? That is the only way to stop them from going to those ports.

Obama, the Muslim freak show, wouldn't order our ships to bother his friends, so why are we there?

We are spending millions for these ships of ours to be there and look big and powerful. Iran knows we aren't going to attack their ships, so they are laughing all the way down to the ship's dining room, having an “into port drinking party”.

[McGruff]

Bunch of frikin amateurs are going to get alot of us killed before they are ousted.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

But State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf insisted Tuesday that the U.S. ships were "only" there to provide an escort for the Iranian ships, in case the evil JOOOOOSS try to mess with them. There. Fixed it.
