WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say the Pentagon is moving two warships to the Libyan coast, in the aftermath of the attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three others.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed when an armed mob stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi Tuesday and set it ablaze.
Officials say one destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the USS McFaul is en route and should be stationed off the coast within days. The officials say the ships, which carry Tomahawk missiles, do not have a specific mission. But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the president.
U.S. investigators are looking into whether the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya was a coordinated terrorist assault to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks and not just spontaneous mob violence triggered by an anti-Islam video on YouTube.

The purpose of the DNC mad film released through Liberal Google is to help Obama keep focus offshore.
Movie is 6 months old.
Well sure. But no, you know....ammunition. That would be too aggressive.
“...an armed mob...”??
Really?
How about a trained and professional bunch of stateless, murdering TERRORISTS?
Did Obama have them offload all weapons before moving into the area?
Better make sure they are American and not Russian warships. One never knows these days.
yes it is..I think more should be made of this fact..cold blooded to let people die own selfish reasons.And someone needs to tell the truth about how they died. not just the lies they are putting out. Obama should be impeached.
Obama will order the ships to wag their gun barrels at the thugs and say, you better stop that, or, or, or, we’ll write a letter and get really really mad.
ARE THESE OUR SHIPS? OR RUSSIAN LIKE THE SHOWED AT THE DNC?
Well at least Obama is sounding more aggressive:

Decatur, Where are you?
I’m surprised that we’re not calling for a special U.N. assembly to discuss the future dates for a meeting that will form a working group to give options on a framework for discussion of the possible preconditions for a conference.
Berlin is a Muslim hot bed?
One extremely interesting and true comment at the posted AP link. Third comment down, when last checked.
Note AP link at top of thread.
Gee I wonder if they will be allowed to be armed or will they also be like the unarmed guards at our U.S. consulate in Benghazi?
*snort* Are we sure they are US Warships and not Russians? It wouldn’t be the first time in a week that the Obamas werent able to make the distinction..
Dont you mean the consulate in Benghazi? Why evacuate the consulate in Berlin Germany?
