The discussion should be what is it that Muslim extremists are doing for the good of their people?

Very well said. This has been the elephant in the living room that BBC/CNN sucessfully ignore.

...and it overstayed its welcome?

In the case of the Lincoln in Indonesia, if the US Navy has overstayed any welcome (?), it is the welcome of the petty, childish, bigoted Indonesian government. We have not overstayed the welcome of those who are being helped: those Indonesian citizens who their government cannot adequately relieve without outside (our) help.

LOL! When I joined in 2000, I felt as if I was just arising from the "Conservative Catacombs" and found sanctuary at last. Welcome home...

thank you, but the other half of that question is equally important, i.e., "Is it assistance enough for their fellow Muslims to continue to kill Infidels? Can the Muslim victims of this disaster feast on that harvest or sleep securely under that mantel?"
This is the point of the extremists. Radical Muslims say that they are fighting for the rights of all Muslims to live a "surrendered" life as Allah would have them live, so their fight takes precedence over any other issue.
How great can that god be? His will be done irrespective of the death and mayhem? Such benevolence!

U.S. forces scale back aid [USS LINCOLN Sails off]

This title is a bit misleading since this "Very little is being degraded. We’re doing just as many missions as before,” Daniels said." is buried in the story.

People over here also need to stop and think, that is over 200,000 people died, then thye just dont need that much food then, do they?

We should still provide aid, airlift in what we can, with HUGE USA flags on it, so they know who came to their help.

This was another Somalia in the making. No weapons? How long before our soldiers would be attacked by Islamofascists out to make a name for themselves? (Somalia was infested by bin Laden/Al Qaeda, too.) Indonesia can clear their own rubble. Our aid money is needed at home.

I am here in Thailand and the US is being made to believe that it is better to remove references to our aid coming from the people of the US. This way it can be distributed by corrupt and hateful organizations.
We are being led to believe that the weakness of the Indonesian govt. and the Muslim clerics is a strength.
As in poker we should call their bluff. Not because we want them to bow down and thank us for our assistance, but simply to counter all of the lies that are told about us being the enemy of Indonesian Muslims.

Last week at work, we were already wondering why we send millions and millions abroad in foreign aid...to our erstwhile friends/backstabbers...while US citizens are homeless or hungry or in desperate need. The other day, Boston talk radio had zeroed in on this, too...so you're not alone. The U.S. is waking up.

Removing aid/aid workers when clearly you're not wanted, and if you stayed, you'd suffer another Mogadishu bloodbath isn't evil. It's common sense.

Yup well, it is gonna get much more interesting in the next day or so. Looks like the world is going to be held hostage over this aid distribution.

Great news. We wouldn't want to be where we're not wanted. The aid flights should stop, the Navy should drop leaflets explaining to the starving hoards that their own government is to be held responsible for any further grief, and we should concentrate our efforts in other areas. Let the people that are suffering deal with the idiots in their own government, and let the world at large witness yet another wonderful aspect of the ROP.
