[Snip]...But Marie Harf, Queen of Nonsense, insists that the carrier group (carriers never travel alone, by the way, they keep missile frigates, destroyers, Aegis cruisers, tenders, and a few submarines around for security) is only there to “ensure the shipping lanes remain open and safe” — and “not to do anything in terms of those Iranian ships.”

Any suggestion to the contrary is “blatantly untrue– so this discreet movement of U.S. assets is for a discreet purpose,” Harf said.

To paraphrase what Teddy Roosevelt might say: W.T.F!?

With our current stooge of a Secy of the Navy Mabus and some of his underlings, the answer is “NOTHING”.

We have NO real military leaders any more. The JCS is a puppet of gutless, ball-less fools led by Gen. Dempsey (Ramadi isn’t important).

Gender-equality is more important than killing our enemies.

Having solar panels for power on subs is more important than scouting out the enemy.

The ships’ flags are now all PINK and the next destroyer to come off the line is going to be called the USS Gaywad.

Bull Halsey just crapped in his grave.

Knowing our President and his Admin, we are probably transporting all of our Nuclear warheads to give to Iran.

My guess is they are protecting the Iranian convoy which is bringing arms to Yemen.

I would almost say I am sure of it but you never can tell for certain.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

Based upon 0bama's past actions this was my conclusion. Saudi-led forces are blockading Yemen YET Obama wants to ensure the shipping lanes remain open and safe?

My guess is that 0bama, the lying bastard in bed with Iran, will go so far as having Iranian ships boarded by US Navy personnel thus giving him cover to then lie and vouch for them to be allowed past the Saudi-led blockade.

That’s what I was thinking. Making sure Iran has safe passage into the Gulf. We’re certainly not there to stop them. Maybe that is why Saudi Arabia so abruptly stopped their bombing runs.

Maybe also to stop Saudi Arabia in bombing Yemen. Noticed they promptly stopped the other day.

Prediction: Mabus will be killed in an attack somewhere in the middle east. US response will be fierce, not because of his stature, but out of necessity of the unexpected alliance thrown against us.
