If Q-Daffy is deposed, Obama’s relatives in Kenya will not be happy.

[vanilla swirl]

and we will anchor offshore and yell through a megaphone!!

[Defend Liberty]

What, no UN resolution?

[Old Badger]

We should just stay out of this because, regardless of the bloodshed, it's a sovereign country. If staying out works to our detriment, we can always later bomb them into the stone age.

Anything Obama does now should be highly suspect as to what his real motives are. He may be trying to present the image that he's a strong leader rather than the weak bully he is capitalizing on an unfortunate situation in a little country.

Unnamed reporter. Gee I can't imagine why...

[SECURE AMERICA]

What a friggin joke......
We have our young folks dying in Afghanistan and our Government does not have the will to win there what makes anyone think we will do the right thing here?

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, which had been on pirate-hunting duty off the coast of Somalia, has now steamed to the mouth of the Suez Canal in the Red Sea.

I know that anti-piracy ops are a secondary function for any naval warship, but to task a carrier strike group with the job is just a huge waste of resources given the Rules of Engagement.

Gaddafi’s remarks were met with derision in Washington. “It sounds, just frankly, delusional,” said US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice.

She said Gaddafi’s behaviour, including laughing on camera in TV interviews amid the chaos, ‘underscores how unfit he is to lead and how disconnected he is from reality’.

Let’s see now...what other “great world leader” has been known to laugh inappropriately and appear disconnected from reality? My memory is not so good now but I think I can find his name, oh, wait, here are his initials, Barack Hussein Obama.

Godspeed, Enterprise.

Somewhere in here is a play that helps get the Soros Telepuppet reelected. Throwing Sargent Pepper Q. Daffy under the bus is a bold ploy that is seemingly inconsistent with his previous support. Must be the Muslim Bro’s made Bambi a better offer. Amnesty from the threatened apostasy trial? 72 virgin Larry Sinclairs in Allah’s heavenly Man’s Country? Perpetual unending supply of ribs and ice cream for Manshelle?

[YourAdHere]

Make it so.

I think one Photon torpedo aught to do it!

The U.S. Navy was repositioning its heavy-hitting warships around North Africa

Waste of time and fuel with a president everyone knows will sit on his hands.

Is sabre rattling really any way for a Nobel Peace Prize laureate to act? I am sorely disappointed in young Miss Soetoro.

Anchors Aweigh! Go Navy!

A bit off topic...

Does anyone know if one of the carriers in the Med or Gulf is soon to rotate out?

The reason I ask is that a friend of mine is making his first tour. It will be on the USS Ronald Reagan.

The Reagan left San Diego a while back but my friend is still in Florida training. Supposedly he will be transferred to the Reagan in a couple of weeks. They then train in the South Pacific then it's on the the Middle East.

I was able to track down that the carrier was going to the Middle East BUT he wasn't sure. He thinks it's going to be a 6 week(?) tour but if they are headed to the ME I would think it will be at least 3 months, especially if another carrier rotates out.

Obviously I'm not Navy...sigh.

Wag that dog, Obama.
