The next Dept of State presser in this regard will state that the Navy was dispatched to stop the shipment, but just didn’t make it in time /sarc.

That’s a bad rash, Barry. Better pick up some Gold Bond.

So let me get this right.

The white house acknowledges that Iran is taking over Yemen and forced us out of there.

They then have decided to sent a ship to intercept Iran’s weapons.
In the meantime we will make a nuke deal without telling the country or the world what it is about!!!

HUH.

Can the grown ups please get in power soon.

My thoughts exactly. 0 would never allow an actual conflict on an Iranian warship.

Why in the world are we reading about this BEFORE it happens.

Some of our folks are going to be killed one of these times.

They could have sent the carrier two weeks ago to rescue trapped Americans.

I hate to say this, because my nephew was heartbroken, but I am glad that he got that second concussion (woke up in hospital after hitting his head in the shower)and was sent home from recruit training at Great Lakes.

They told him he could try again in two years if no other medical issues come up. By then Obama will be out of office.

Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.

I was told to watch out for some event that would scuttle the Nuclear talks with Iran so that their failure would not be blamed on Obama administration incompetence.

Perhaps this ship interdiction will be that event?
