Btw the looks of these guys, he was probably lucky to make it back.

On Friday, we reported the latest provocation in what has truly become a very dangerous, if largely pointless, staring contest between Beijing and Washington over China’s reclamation of land in The South China Sea.
Responding to suggestions that the US was set to sail warships around the islands Beijing has constructed atop reefs in the Spratlys, China served noticed that it would “never allow any country to violate China's territorial waters and airspace in the Spratly Islands, in the name of protecting freedom of navigation and overflight.” This was simply a formalized version of the more concise phrasing the PLA navy used when they instructed the pilots flying a US spy plane to “Go now!” when it ventured too close to Fiery Cross earlier this year.
It’s not immediately clear what China intends to do with the islands and further, it’s not entirely clear why anyone should necessarily care if Beijing wants to build “sand castles” in the middle of the ocean, but then again, for America’s regional allies the land reclamation efforts look a lot an attempt to build a series of military outposts by creating sovereign territory where there was none thereby effectively redrawing maritime boundaries and so, big brother in Washington is set to step in in order to protect vital shipping lanes.
Of course having already said that the navy plans to sail ships into the waters around the islands, the US can ill-afford to allow China’s “we won’t tolerate that” pronouncement to deter the Pentagon because the optics around that would be terrible at a time when the world is already questioning the strength and resolve of the US military. So the ships will indeed sail.

“Didn’t he pull the only carrier out of the Middle East, on the pretext that it was being done for maintenance?”
Some Freepers came to his defense a couple days ago saying the Harry S. was on its way to replace it.
You got it. They’re looking for a conflict, war, a big distraction right now. I would guess this would have multiple intended purposes. Maybe to show how tough we are, and what a great no-nonsense President Mr. Obama really is.
The reality is these people running government couldn’t care less about America’s safety or security. If they were we would have never been in this declining deteriorating position in the first place.
They can block a ship with “fishing vessels”.
“Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee F-,” and “Bang Ding Ow”
For some reason, that last “pilot’s” name is the funniest.
Yeah, and the Chinese uniforms look funny, too.
China has plenty of options besides sinking a carrier. Unless people forget, this is not the China of 1975. Washington is drunk with hubris.
I stand in stunned disbelief how quickly they are destroying this nation, along with the thug mentality that cheers it on.
I know eventually Gog-Magog of Ezekiel 38 will take place in the Middle East and with Iranian troops on the ground, we’re well on our way.
Seems this usurper was allowed in to neuter us just prior to these events. I don’t know why more can’t see what’s coming. To say it’s not good would be the understatement of the century. Nobody thinks long term, even a few years down the road now. Gotta go read the Fed thread now.
" When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...
Could get you locked away for a very long time today, if not out right killed, while being SWATed! The South tried it and half a million were killed.
The whole thing was hilarious, IIRC the guys who programmed the teleprompter got fired?
It’s still on the web:

Bumper Cars!
Does India own the Indian ocean? You dont own the whole damned sea.
That was a great movie.
The look on the Chinese soldier is just too funny!!!
It all depends on who you are. This is the same Congress that sent Trafficant to prison for not playing ball (7 years of his 8.5 years served were in solitary confinement, he really pissed somebody off). Do what the big boys/girls upstairs want and give them their cut, they couldn't give a crap if you're raiding pensions funds and kicking old retirees onto the street. But run afoul of the them and they'll find a way to prosecute you on something, anything.
Obama doesn’t even allow our military to fight at full strength. According to Obama, mustn’t hurt a civilian no matter how bad he hates the US.
Same reason why Japan and Korea argue over whether the accepted international name should be the “Sea of Japan” or the “East Sea.”
not sure what the debt has to do with professionalism of our soldiers.
they’re also lockstep with no independent thinking in battle.
like Japan. that’s a big part of why we won.
they were like Tebow, didn’t know what to do after plan A doesn’t work
and i love Tebow. still think he could have gotten better playing regularly.
haven’t seen manning winning a superbowl for them
