Iran threatened to forcibly bar the Strait of Hormuz to “enemy ships” i.e. the USS Stennis carrier. The US bowed to the threat by stopping sending aircraft carriers through the strait to the Persian Gulf. Rather than confronting Tehran, the Obama administration is straining hard to hold Israel back from striking Iranian nuclear sites.
These Dem’s always get us into the big wars... and the smaller ones...
Wilson...2nd term re-election “Keep us out of the war” elected and WW I
FDR...Re-election “No American boys on foreign soil”.. elected and WW II
Truman.. Re-election after finishing FDR’s 4th term Korea
Johnson.... Re-election after finishing Kennedy’s term, Gulf of Tonkin and full escalation into Vietnam
Here we go again...
The Dem’s foreign policy is like parents raising their children, and every time the child does something wrong, they just keep saying “Don’t Do That!” over and over. Until the child grows into a teenager who doesn’t listen and the stakes are bigger, then it’s a knock down drag out!
Uhh...we didn’t bow to anything. The Stennis headed for deep blue water as that is her advantage. To be cooped up in the gulf would have been exposing her Achilles heal.
