all our carriers are nuclear powered, why they have to mention it like nobody knows, or they’d be less impressive if they weren’t, is stupid.

“Those pictures say it all!
It looks like Dr. Strangelove returns!”

Unfortunately, we seem to be in a horrible time movement into a war only Obozo Liar and his buds like McAinal want.

Since the world’s elite bankers finance the US government, they get to call the shots for our military.

Owing $17 trillion means that we really have not paid off any of our military equipment.

The bankers are calling the shots on this “arab spring”.

Russia is building up ships off Syria, as well. Dr. Strangelove returns.

With just a few destroyers off of Syria, the Russian Temptation to lob a couple of missles at them, if Obama attacks, is pretty strong.

Sending in two carrier airwings seriously ups the ante. Now, how will Putin counter?

I read on the net Russia has dispatched 4 additional warships. Which is why we are moving another carrier to the area.

I agree. It’s almost as if this knucklehead wants a direct confrontation between the U. S. and Russia.

this business will get out of control, it will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it..

If this sissy loses one ship or one carrier gets damaged because of his idiotic campaign promise, he should get impeached.
