Many within the Obama administration believe that Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities before the US presidential elections, an act which would signal the failure of one of Washington’s key foreign policy objectives. .........................Obama will betray Israel if it happens.

The UK hasn’t totally gotten rid of their navy yet?

I’d say the ships are there to stop an Isreali attack.

Obama is there to stop them mining the strait. Nothing more. He won’t help Israel unless it gives him some advantage in the election.

Are they there to limit Iran’s reaction, or stop Israel’s attack?

I doubt that Obama would let his soul brother be blockaded. If this is happening, it’s England and not us.

Both ANWR and the Keystone Pipeline would be operational by now, but for Democrats.

Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations...

They buried the lead. Someone still has battleships?

What happens to those ships if Israel’s attack is with an EMP?

Battleships??
Whose?

Another poorly researched example of the journalistic art.

Or perhaps it has something to do with the last line.

.... will today begin an annual 12-day exercise.

Who still has active “battleships”?
I don’t think England still has its last aircraft carrier. Thought it was rented out to India or Upper Slobovia.
I do appreciate Luxembourg’s reconnaissance yacht from their America’s Cup yacht club.

Also appreciate Bahrain’s rubber ducky. Good for morale (if your name is “Bert or Ernie”).

Time to nuke Iran and get it over with. Good targets - Natanz nuclear facility and all others known or suspected sites.
The holy city of Qom, the site of the Mad Mullahs and their psychopath plans for world dominance.

Republican Guard headquarters in downtown Teheran. Remember the films of our cruise missiles turning corners in downtown Baghdad to get Saddam’s C3 buildings? “Knock, knock”. Who’s there? Land shark”. Kaboom

Iranian mosquito fleet navy. One nuke or a couple daisy cutters and they are fish food.

Iran’s missile forces. One nuke exploded over the area will generate an EMP that will put them out of action. Whatever they shoot up will come right back down on them and go BOOM!

“I love the glow of plutonium in the morning”.

Shit, we don’t have any napalm any more so the best we can do for “crispy critter time” is a nuke or two.

If Achmedgenocide and his little Hitlers want to play war, then they must play by our rules - “Kill all the bastards and let God (or Satan) sort them out.”

I’m tired of our gutless President, JCS, and the military advisors who are politically correct aholes more interested in putting women on submarines than destroying our enemies.

Time to take off the velvet gloves and put on some real steel gaunlets with spikes.

Whoever wrote this wouldn’t know a Battleship from crabbing skiff.

There are no more Battleships, except those on display as museum pieces at various places in the world.

The Brits actually have a pretty good heritage when it comes to some things.

they fought hitler to a standoff waiting for the US to arise.

Great leader, Churchill was.

they have their problems with islam. they are more vulnerable than we are.

their news media is much superior than ours. shucks, i trust the UK newsmedia a hundred times more than our msm.

our msm is nothing but liars, fascists/communists and whores.

blessings, bobo

Did someone tell the Telegraph that no Navy has had a battleship since we retired the last “Iowa class” vessels (for the final time) a few years ago? Cruisers, destroyers and frigates in the Gulf (along with aircraft carriers, subs, amphibious assault ships and support vessels), but no battleships.

Did anyone read the whole article? If true there is breaking news here. It says way down the article..

“The main naval exercise comes as President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, today to discuss the Iranian crisis.”

This is The Telgraph which I assume at the time posted at the link is for tomorrows edition.

Are Barry and Benji meeting tomorrow and we don’t know about it?
