Political theater. The destroyers will have no impact except if they have a helo that can quickly evacuate our people.

Locking the stable door, at best. But mostly political theater to show that Obie is paying lots of attention.

Maybe they’ll put Kaddafi back in charge. Oh, wait. He’s dead.

My guess is a bunch of deserted tents will be bombed this month. Followed by a tough guy -in- chief speech.

They’d really understand if we still had Battleships to put on their coast to shell the Butts.

an act of war must illicit a response. hopefully strong and disproportionate as opposed to measured

Delivering arms, cash and porno to Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood buds no doubt.

What will be interesting to watch will be how Obama handles the sequestration report now.

His plan of how to apply the $600 B in defense cuts was due last week. They said they would publish it this week.

Bambi's now trying to appear strong. How are those cuts going to look in the wake of this disaster?

This will be some more Clintonian tough-guy theater - lobbing some missiles at camels and then some chest pounding. The same weakling approach that eventually led up to the WTC 9/11.

Wag the Dog, divert attention away from something else that they don’t want Americans to see.

Tin cans are useless.

Send in the “Iowa” and the “Wisconsin”

Give ‘em some 16-inch thunder.

Maybe even a Tomahawk or three.

What the heck do they think a couple of tin cans are going to do. They only carry a handful of BGM-109s and their 5” popguns aren't going to do much against sand. DDGs just don't have the magazine capacity for a sustained bombardment. if we had one precise target to strike perhaps. But we don't.

There used to be a carrier battle group and marines afloat in the med. Oh, and there USED to be Marines at embasseys.

Now if those ships do some shelling or blockading, that would be appropriate.

But they'll most likely just pull up at the coast and ride at anchor, uselessly. Don't expect a powerful and rightiously vengeful response with the Bamster-in-chief sitting in the oval office.
