A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday, two US officials told CNN.

One of the officials said the missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who are engaged in an ongoing conflict in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted, according to the second official.

The officials said it was unclear what the missiles were targeting. It’s possible the missiles were fired at the USS Carney or launched towards another target.

As if we need anymore reason to yank his sorry butt out of office, along with his entire cabinet, and replace it with a competent one. Oh, wait, these wars are exactly what most everyone in power wants to see happen. Silly me.....

I may never get to enjoy retirement at this pace.

Yes, Iran has been spoiling for a naval engagement for a long, long time. They really want to sink US Navy ships, especially damaging or sinking an air craft carrier.

They built a scale model of a US carrier and have filmed attacks on it to show on television to prove how strong they are.

I think that those that don’t learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. In particular, Iran did not learn the lessons of history during Operation Praying Mantis. This was an attack on 18 April 1988 by the United States Armed Forces within Iranian territorial waters in retaliation for the Iranian naval mining of international waters in the Persian Gulf during the Iran–Iraq War and the subsequent damage to an American warship.

Perhaps it is time for the US military to remind Iran of what happens when they damage US Navy warships.

The Russians will be looking for payback for the Moskva.

They can pass hypersonics to their proxies, just like the USA passed Neptunes to the Ukrainians.

Sorry but I still don’t believe more people voted for Biden than did for Obama.

Ol Lyndon liked to show off the “Johnson” as well.

“Does Ho Chi Minh have anything like this?”

The article is in the August 1976 “American Heritage”.

I sure hope Biden ain’t doing that in the WH right now?
