Obama will do ZIP. It was all a stunt. If it was 1941 and the Japanese hit Pearl Harbor—Obama would say the Japanese need more money and jobs—not war. No one wants Boots on the ground! All the money is needed for welfare projects and his rich buddies.

Don’t forget the rest of that story. Reagan ordered the sinking of two Iranian drilling platforms and at least one other surface ship as well as raking the Persian shoreline and damaging about half their navy. But now we have the Grand Kenyan who doesn’t even have Bogie’s balls.

I wonder what he’s going to say when Putin makes his move on Eastern Europe? Just a matter of time IMO.

I really fear for our men there. Iranian ships head for shore in Yemen, what do we do?

His failed foreign policy of ignore the world and be isolationists is making the world even more dangerous with more people dying and fleeing their homes.

This is a lesson for those who pretend to be republicans.
It’s a failed foreign policy and does not bode well carrying on Obama’s failed policy expecting a different result.

The USS Roberts was not sunk by the Iranian mine (1950s vintage).

She was back in operational service in 13 months.

And, the Iranians paid a very, very high price.

...Obama would vow to track down the pilots who did this and bring them to justice.

She survived Leyte Gulf, an Iranian mine sure as well won’t be sinking her.

Not sunk, but definitely disabled.

Wonder what that traitor’s up to? Is he planning on ordering our sailors to abandon ship so the Iranians can seize the flotilla and then turn the guns on the bobbing lifeboats? Oh, the bubbly would flow in the White Hut after that little coup!

Looks like the carrier group was intended to prevent the Arab coalition from attacking the Persians and preventing their resupply effort. Probably part of the settlement reached with Iran.

And that would explain this: Saudi coalition ends Yemen air war, US urges talks, 22 April

It sure would and looks very suspicious. A little while ago, Fox Business reported that Saudi Arabia was resuming bombing raids, so the situation is confusing to say the least.

Fox’s web site, their Business Channel and Shep Smith @ noon PDT, said that the Saudis are back to bombing the terrorists in Yemen.

At least they could fire back if they were attacked.

I doubt if our sailors can do anything if fired on by Obozzo’s buddies.
