Russia Today is an incompetent and worthless news source, regardless of what you think of the US news media. They have no subject matter knowledge of what they report on.

They couldn’t tell the difference between an unmanned surface vessel and an unmanned underwater vessel last week (in a RT story that Newsmax stupidly quoted.)

Thousands of troops? The personnel on aircraft carriers are usually sailors and pilots, not troops. The story makes it sound like thousands of ground combat troops are on the Eisenhower.

I hear that a lot: “I can’t trust American media, so I rely on Russian media I cannot trust.” LOL

Consider the source: Russia Today (the propaganda arm of the Russian government).

Correction: One of the many, many, many propaganda arms.

I am reminded of the story, I think it was on Johnny Carson maybe To Tell a Lie, years back about two brothers in the Navy who went home for Christmas and dicovered they were stationed on the same aircraft carrier.

I thought Obama tried to make Romney out as the war hungry monster while only he was serenely aware of the fatigue America had over endless and needless wars.

It’s starting to look like we should take a force and “storm” that mountain top in France that has been ruled off-limits on 21 Dec 12.

“I love the way you think.”

I’m just catching on to the way this administration uses the media to misinform the public and form their narrative, or “truth.”

The next thing up for the administration is to nationalize the 401k’s. Have you noticed the recent attention in the media this topic has gotten, most recently from TIME? Simply paving the way for the government by running a story asking if it’s a good idea, since only the rich have 401ks, etc...

Ah... so THEY were the sources for those errant military aircraft pics shown on the screen at the DNC.

Making your previous comment somewhat of a non sequitur, I'm afraid.

Agreed. It’s not our job. If they gas their own people, take it to the UN and let them write a very stern letter.

Unless, the purpose is to keep the two sides equal so that the war goes on for a decade or so. Maybe two.

And, gee, December 21 is not far away. I’m starting to get a VERY bad feeling. . .

Dems declare Obama their Lord and savior.....weed becomes legal here in Wa State. Fiscal cliff approaching.....oh yeah, did I mention the weed part?
Seriously, Barry has to make more noise to cover up his mistakes but has forgotten the first rule of holes...

For whatever reasons, Iran is supporting Syria and Saudi Arabia is supporting the Syrian rebels. Saudi Arabia. Iran. Libya. Oil. Soros. Obama. Hillary.

I'm not familiar with them per se, but I would probably rate them as truthful as the 0bama Regime's Chief Propaganda Minister Jay Carney, maybe more so. After all, another Russian publication, Pravda was about the only one to point out that US capitalism had been killed by socialism.

The personnel on aircraft carriers are usually sailors and pilots,

And maybe a few Marines, but as you pointed out no troops or soldiers.

It's understandable that the foreign press does not understand the terms. Sadly neither does the domestic press.

but it is NOT OUR FIGHT. . .

100% correct! But since when does reason and law mean anything to obama? Congress has no balls to stop him so he will continue to act as a dictator. Libya was not our fight either.
