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.

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?

“Missiles were heading toward Israel not fired at the US ship.”

The distance from the launch site could range from 1,662 km to 2,407 km, depending on the precise location. It piques curiosity as to the type of missile used.

Is this a “first”? (US intercepting a weapon fired at Israel.)

81 million people also own pieces of this.

81 million ballots own pieces of this, not necessarily 81 million live individuals. Just sayin...

At the Wikipedia article referenced in reply 52 above, regarding a paragraph in that article, an excerpt, separated into individual sentences:

TRUE: Radio contact between Pueblo and the Naval Security Group in Kamiseya, Japan had been ongoing during the incident.

Sort of TRUE: As a result, Seventh Fleet command was fully aware of Pueblo's situation. [Given circumstances of communications.]

TRUE: Air cover was promised but never arrived.

RE AIRCRAFT AVAILABILITY: The Fifth Air Force had no aircraft on strip alert, and estimated a two-to-three-hour delay in launching aircraft.

IMHO: Fifth Air Force was ordered to not send help.

One of the first things they did after Biden was erected President was to cut off supplies to the Saudis for fighting the Houthis and remove US air defenses from Saudi.

The Saudis were then attacked by missiles from the Houthis and basically agreed to turn Yemen over to the Houthis as long as they weren't attacked.

Every single disaster from that to Afghanistan to Ukraine to Israel is a product of the corrupt incompetence of the "Biden" regime.

The poltroons in DC are going to try to squirm their way out, but the more cowardly they are, the more war will follow them.
