Obama fired back with more apologies for America.

Russia and China leadership just met to confirm their hatred of our hubris.

Russians are being informed where to find bomb shelters. Putin just moved some nuclear missiles.

The boyking and his family are probably walking out to Air Force #2 for his short ride to the Command Ship that will be high up in the sky when the bombs start to fly.

If I were Putin I would have just one missile trained on that airplane and solve so many problems with one strike.

i’m getting the feeling this is all a Saudi vs Iran, Sunni vs Shia proxy war.

Feels like deja by ll over again -twice.

Time to cancel (suspend?) the Election

Hasn't this been Obama-lama-ding-dong's end game all along? He rigs it so that you get two polarizing and despicable candidates, throw in lots of innuendo, scandals real and fake, then foment an international incident with a past enemy. Can't be having a transitional period at the White House with all this going on, now, can we?

Maybe he can figure a way to bomb the Capitol (ala "Designated Survivor") while they are in session. Gotta remember to have a Tom Kirkman-like milquetoast survive the blast and become the head Congress-critter.

One last piece of the puzzle. CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC need to run wall-to-wall "Breaking News" of how America is falling apart due to the wascally Wepublicans and their obstructionist policy against Barack the Good. Not to mention doing the talk show circuit with Ellen, the View and other influential intelligentsia. Now that the sheeple have been fed their pablum on who and what to believe, Obama can cancel plans for the moving company.

There are times I believe it will take a right-wing dictatorship to get us out of this mess.

The Left has perfected the dark art of using the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights to undermine those very same freedoms.

This is going to keep happening until an example is made of several thousand traitors. Banishment to the Aleutians would be merciful, much better than they deserve.

Pray America wakes.

I haven’t watched regular TV in years, so I haven’t bothered looking up the premise of that show. I know it’s called The Last Ship, but don’t know what it’s about.

All Obama has to do is draw a red-line around our boats.

"Fortunately the Navy can handle this threat without any help from D.C."

I am afraid that depends on the ROE (Read: Rules of Engagement) approved by Obama.

Whoever designed the missiles know that the design requires modification to be effective.

Funny thing is we paid for the missiles to attack us.

Cash to Iran. Iran funds these attacks with our cash, and probably helps staff them too; once again with our cash.

We are so being played.

Cole was tied up, not in any condition to deal with muzzies snieaking an IED up next to the hull.

Thought they damn well should have been.

Unlike the Cole, the Stark farqued up, got hit when it should have defended itself.

Uh, fire back? My suggestion anyway.

If I understand it right, these are likely ChiCom or Iranian supplied Silkworm AS missiles. Not much to hit other than an empty launcher.

The Stark was viciously attacked by Sunni Iraq in the war against Shiite Iran. . We were spying on the Sunni Iraqis. Why are we off YEMEN? We have no business off YEMEN!! We are spying on the Iranians ( shiites) that we just paid $1.7 trillion for ransom and groveled as we witnesses our ill prepared sailors crying like woman after capture. God knows how much cash we paid then .
We are there to support the Saudis? The same Saudi regime that sponsored the attack by the hijackers on 911 on the WTC , the Pentagon and and Flight 93? The same sunni bastards that killed so many in San Bernadino, Fort Hood , and the gay bar in Orlando ( and so many others).
Let me simply ask you — WHAT THE F-— are we doing there?

It’s either the Bedford Incident or another Gulf of Tonkin or both. Great to have mentally ill people in charge.
