I guess the plan to have this exercise did not have the prior approval of the muslim in chief. I cannot wait for the end of his reign of demestic terror and foreign ass kissing to end. i loved it when the super power Lybia (sarcasm) in the 80s mentioned something about a military exercise in the Med off their coast would be crossing a line of death...they did not know whose death they were talking about.
