I read this article. This guy is a low level blogger. I wonder if he has taken orders directly from the CIC.
Untill I see credible proof (or denial) from the MSM, I will continue to belive Obama is taking 34 warships for a 2 billion dollar joyride.
Obama is giving America the finger once again. The military brass will do what ever he says.
He is just like Mugabe.
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor shot down the $200 million-a-day figure — to put the outrageous sum in context, that’s 5 million times Rachael Ray’s recommended $40 a day.
“The numbers reported in this article have no basis in reality. Due to security concerns, we are unable to outline details associated with security procedures and costs, but it’s safe to say these numbers are wildly inflated,” Vietor said.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell also outright rejected the claim that 34 warships would patrol the Mumbai coast while Obama is in town.
“I think there has been a lot of creative writing that’s been done on this trip over the last few days,” he said. “We obviously have some support role for presidential travel ... but I will take the liberty this time of dismissing as absolutely absurd, this notion that somehow we are deploying 10 percent of the Navy, some 34 ships and an aircraft carrier in support of the president’s trip to Asia — that’s just comical.
The military does not want anyone knowing what they are doing around Obama’s trip. So...who knows if the initial info is wrong was was leaked wrongly and in need of denial for security reasons.
