Sometimes the bluff works.

The Iranians completed the weapons transfer
and are heading home, protected by the Obola Hussein,
the undocumented First Moslem of the White Mosque.

[SkyDancer]

See? See? 0bama scared Iran. Isn’t he just marvelous??

[ßuddaßudd]

I believe we will lose a ship somehow and Øbama will learn about form the CNN . .

[DoughtyOne]

Despite himself, Obama may have actually accomplished something decent.

On the other hand: Obama, “Eh, thanks a lot you guys. I look ever so much more ‘not the turd’ of the U. S. right now.” Ayatollah: “No problem brother...”

Too bad Yemen does not need artificial reefs. The Iranian ships would make good ones.

[ozarkgirl]

The nine ship fleet was a ploy to distract the US ships - wonder where the real arms are.

No marine traffic around Aden. www.marinetraffic.com

If they can’t go over, they’ll go around/under/through next time. And there will be a next time and a next time and a next time after that.

And the little chicken said: Bawk, bawk, Baaaaawk!

[McGruff]

More likely they got word The Saudis or Egyptians would do what we wouldn’t.

[ThanhPhero]

Fighter jets taking off from the carrier have been relaying the convoy’s location to the U.S. Navy's higher command since the start of the week.

[Mouton]

Maybe they were off course and needed to be redirected to a more suitable landing spot?

[winoneforthegipper]

Eh the Roosevelt is still following them and the flotilla was joined by two armed Iranian naval vessels overnight.

[xkaydet65]

Collaboration between Iran and Barky. Gives Barky some creds about his toughness to make selling the nuke sellout easier.

[SpinnerWebb]

Just out of curiosity... what is this Carrier looking thing at Bandar Abbas?

Is Iran running mock Carrier landings? It doesn't look like an actual ship.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Hmmm

[Ebenezer]

Or maybe the Iranians forgot something.

[GraceG]

Hey Bammy we need to negotiate your early retirement....

Go live in Hawaii and stay there.

The issue is so complicated with cross currents and cross interests and foreign entanglements in the ME and Africa that if we somehow lost a ship or had it clandestinely attacked, would we even know who did it?

I’d prefer the USA pull out of the ME and start putting our country back together, paying down debt, as opposed to a another risky potential setup that could lead to WW3.

The first step is removing the corruption and fraud in our government that leads to bad decisions like inviting immigrants from ME, Africa and elsewhere to get food stamps and SSI, and fraud by Medicare providers and no competition for big Pharma for starters.
