“He should have done it a week ago.” I don’t know if this is true or not. From the map above it seems we didn’t have much in the way of assets in the Mediterannian a week ago. I see two ships in the Red Sea, headed for Suez? Were they busy with Somali pirates a week ago? Weren’t 4 Americans murdered off Somalia a week ago? Did Cameron already have more assets there a week ago? Armchair analysis is for the lazy minded. Let’s have some facts before we second guess our leaders, whoever they may be or have been.

You would like some facts? Okay, an aircraft carrier group is ill equipped for handling Piracy and as far as I know had nothing to do with tracking those 4 Americans. This is a job for frigates and amphib ships with helos. Britian, France, Spain and Germany all used military assets to include warships to evacuate their personnel last week. It does not take long to get ships from the Gulf of Aden to the Med. Check a map. These ships are just starting to be positioned in the Red Sea/Suez. They are not even in the Med yet. This isn't armchair analysis. This is experience speaking. A lot more than our current Commander in Chief anyways.
