The Pentagon says the American warship USS Theodore Roosevelt is "repositioning" as part of a security operation at sea, and not to intercept Iranian vessels off the coast of Yemen.
Citing unnamed officials, the Associated Press reported earlier in the day that the aircraft carrier would join other U.S. ships in the area to confront Iranian vessels, which are said to be carrying weapons to resupply Houthi rebels that have overrun parts of the country.

You Freepers don't need to worry ... the Iranians are already so scared of our leadership that they will turn around and run when they hear the Idiot is only repositioning our naval assets.
Yeah.
Repositioning to allow an easier attack profile BY the Iranians, Yemenese, and any other assorted “fishing boats” that happen to be driving by when.
Except, since Iran is winning their “peace” with Obola, the Iranians would be stupid to attack. Before their nuclear treaty is signed.
Better position to surrender our forces in.
I think the word “Yet” was left out of the headline.
Saber rattling is all it is. Obama doesn’t want to stop the Iranian weapons shipments. He only wants a show of (toothless) force.
Good gawd, I couldn’t imagine serving while this POS is in the WH. I do feel for all those below Lt Col. and those patriots above that rank who are currently in the US military.
The ship is probably there to escort the Iranian ships.
Stand by to be banned. Great post, by the way.
meanwhile, the FBI and team of DOJ lawyers are investigating to prepare criminal charges against ISISj
I don’t want to be banned!!! me and my big mouth :(
Repositioning...? That’s our Putz-in-Chief!
Rambutt Obama...!
One of the first things that a new Conservative GOP President should do, is completely clean out the nest of vipers and traitors that the Pentagon has become.
Fire every damn one of them that went along with this idiot!!!
Yep, I knew it. The muzzy king is standing by his muzzy bros as ill winds blow.
Repositioning so everyone on board can get tanned on the other side!
Maybe they can hit reset and delete the post not that it was bad but the delivery and words might bother some....LOL
I got carried away lol. Didn’t mean to!! Don’t know what came over me!! You read enough of the articles on this board and your blood begins to boil lol
