One of my favorite pictures - the man that can’t navigate his umbrella through the gateway.

Probably not, but I bet they will let the Americans manage the UN rape camps...

After all, “O” DID pimp them out to the UN and it will be easy duty.

And there will be no nastiness ahead for the UN, itself.... SEE?

We are fighting a war on the fly. This will end badly.

The WH internals must show him doing much worse than even the MSM realize. Needs something to prop it back up. What to do, what to do...

What a horrible, horrible photo of what is supposed to be the “world’s most powerful leader.” I’ve never seen a picture of our CIC looking like such a tourist. An in flip-flops, of all things. I can’t believe they allowed it to be released.

Even ONE body bag returning home as a result of this demented Obama horse manure is one too many.

I read this in a post on HotAir on Tuesday.A poster had flagged an article from the Camp LeJeune base newspaper. The Kearsarge MEU, the 26th, is already doing its float on scene. The 173rd Airborne Bde in Vincenza Italy is on,according to another HA poster, 18 hour alert status. Two MEUs and an airborne bde. seem a substantial force for an expansion of our current “kinetic military action”. BTW, IIRC the 26th MEU is a special ops capable unit.

"BTW, IIRC the 26th MEU is a special ops capable unit."

Every ARG carries a full contingent of of SEALs and Sniper-Scouts.

With two ARGs and an airborne brigade, we can put between 7 and 10,000 light, mobile infantry into that mess in less than 6 hours.

They will bring their own helo and air support along with 30 days of all supplies. Two combat hospitals aboard the command ships.

And, they will have been wasted if the commie in chief is dumb enough to deploy them.

I wish for a military coup in the USA.

there is no french commander, this is war run by global committee

One frenchie dies and they will run and we have to go in on the ground with pooper scoopers, so to speak. Then the french come back in business suits after we clean up the mess.

Thankfully I do not have a dear one being ordered to risk all for this foolish incompetent president

And yet the GD progressive repubs led by McCain as well as many here have given full throated support to BO’s little stupidity! Unfriggin believable! Pray for our troops.

When I was on Sasebo amphibs supporting the 31st MEU on Okinawa SOC was an annual qual for both the Marines and the ships. I wouldn't read a lot into it.
