What’s Obama going to ask them to do—bow in unison?

Methinks Ozero is trying to divert attention from his failed domestic policies. I sure hope that dope does not decide to invade Iran with 6000 Marines, that would be suicide.

Debka, huh? What’s their batting average since the “500,000” Chinese troops in Africa report a few years back?

I guess they’re there to protect Iran from Israel.

Assuming no real action from Hussein, Iran will call this bluff. Buckle up.

I doubt this story.

But I wouldn’t be surprised.

This is exactly what fascists do when their tyrannical policies inevitably fail. They engage their nations in war to focus the people on an enemy other than the tyrant ruling over them and to direct productivity.

Could just be a rotation...

Trurman Strike Group to leave Friday
A total of five Norfolk-based ships to deploy
http://www.wavy.com/dpp/military/Trurman-Carrier-Strike-Group-to-leave-Friday

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The Navy announced Tuesday that more than 6,000 sailors from the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group are scheduled to leave Friday on a six-month deployment to the 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operations.

The Strike Group, commanded by Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll, includes Commander, Carrier Strike Group (CCSG) 10; the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75); Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW) 3; Commander, Destroyer Squadron 26 (CDS 26); the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60), and guided-missile destroyers USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81), USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79), USS Ross (DDG 71) and the German Frigate FGS Hessen (F221).

The Harry S. Truman, Normandy, Winston S. Churchill, Oscar Austin, and Ross are based at Naval Station Norfolk. Carrier Air Wing Three is based at Naval Air Station Oceana.

According to the Navy, the deployment is part of an on-going rotation of forward-deployed forces to support maritime security operations and operating in international waters around the globe, working with other coalition maritime forces.

Escort for Iranian shipments to Obamah’s North Korea’s pot-belly comrade.

Obama’s publicly stated approach on Iran will fail, because just like his predecessors over last 31 years, Barack Hussein Obama so far has been too accommodating. Thus, the enemy, which largely now lives INSIDE the U.S., grows stronger by the day.

obama just wants to have as many of our assets in place as possible, so he can surrender in a bigger way.

And why do we assume those carrier groups are not intended to intercept and prevent an Israeli attack? And launch a counter-attack?

Obama gets ready to offer Iran an “at sea beer summit”.

Thanks Fennie.
DEBKAfile's military sources report a decision by the Obama administration to boost US military strength in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf regions in the short term with an extra air and naval strike forces and 6,000 Marine and sea combatants. Carrier Strike Group 10, headed by the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, sails out of the US Navy base at Norfolk, Virginia Friday, May 21. On arrival, it will raise the number of US carriers off Iranian shores to two.
