Not to worry, Obama will surrender to the Iranians and let them confiscate our ships.

This must be some sort of mistake.

Under President Jarret, the US Navy is there to assist the Iranians to hand out the weapons.

WTF? We forgot to tell them what our expected time of arrival is! I mean, we wouldn’t want them to be caught off guard or anything.

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.

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

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?

Update via The Hill:

The Pentagon is sending a U.S. aircraft carrier to waters around Yemen, following Iran's deployment of seven to nine ships, some carrying weapons.

The U.S. is sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt and at least one destroyer to the Gulf of Aden, said Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren.

The Pentagon also said reports that the carrier will intercept Iranian ships carrying weapons is not true.

"Certainly it's going there because of Yemeni instability, but it's not going there to intercept any ships," said Warren.
