Evacuations? Special Ops? This is no limited thing. They are liars.

Hasn’t Obama killed enough troops yet?

This guy is going to wind up costing us a carrier and or massive casualties before he’s done.

Maybe that’s what he wants to happen. What better way to politically neuter the military than to put them into impossible situations?

We’re coming up on the anniversary of 9-11, post-Benghazi, and we don’t already have a carrier in the Med???

Freep this. We have no clear interest in Syria. Pull back, defend American citizens, and wait until we have leadership that knows sh*t from Shinola.

I see this as Obama wants to be able to use the military like Bush did in Adganistan and Iraq. He sees this as his chance after five years of waiting. However he has no plan or objective besides mice some ships and troops to the region and hope it works itself out.

Obama has helped al Qaeda from the border with Mexico,
through Libya, and Egypt to Syria, and in scores
of other countries.

Obama talked about the responsibilities of others before relaxing again. That’s what presidents have been doing for quite some time: making speeches and signing papers. Congress will also decide what to talk about and pose, while our military forces do a small portion of whatever is needed (taking teeny, tiny bites in the direction of Iran’s nukes).

The jug-eared wimp has money to rerout a carrier task force to the Med to make him look tough, but he won’t spend a fw thousand to see that Marines in Afghanistan get hot meals.

Watching this dimwitted asshat still floundering in the job after 4 1/2 years shows that he just doesn’t have the brain power to handle the job and can’t even learn from hands on experience.

If it wasn’t for affirmative action and his black skin Obama would have trouble qualifying for a job with GM as a hubcap pounder.

Any one up for another world war?

Oh, and on the enemy’s magic anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons, LOL! Despite the political confusions and noise at the moment, we’ll find out about that very shortly.

“nuclear-powered aircraft carrier”

That’s a big piece of information. Had they just sent a wind powered carrier; it would be a different story.

Let's just dispatch the entire US Navy fleet to the Med. Think of the job creation there will be building ships when the entire deployment is wiped out by a couple hundred Sunburn missles.

a wind powered carrier

Yes, I understand the masts get in the way of planes trying to land and take off.
