That's no aircraft carrier. not even a swift boat.

If we are going to fight the Iranians, we’d better hurry up giving them their $50 billion, so they can buy weapons first.
How much you want to bet there are anti ship missiles on one of those Iranian ships, and they are waiting for the group to get close?
I believe one of these ships my hubs had command of.....
May God bless those on board, keep them safe and give them courage in the face of adversity....
For Americans there is always enough money for another war in some far off place, but never enough political stamina to secure our own borders and save us billions.
The reality is that the Saudis and Sunnis created AQ and they did 9-11, and somehow our current absurd policies are about giving them whatever they want, while we go after the Shiites. AQ and the Iraq Sunnis killed how many American GIs? We have a allowed a corrupt manipulated govt and a media of propaganda to work against the USA interest.
Active Duty ping.
If the Iranians were to sink the Roosevelt, what woul Obama really do? Send Kerry back to Switzerland for more negotiations? Don’t think he has the kahunas to carry a big stick.
It is absolutely insane. Support Iran in Iraq... I guess and against them... I guess in Yemen all the time making treaties with them in their favor you don’t intend to support.
Insane.
What the State Department says is bogus concerning the ships being there in case the embassy needs evacuated. You don’t need an aircraft carrier, guided missle cruiser and a MEU-SOC (Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations Capable) to do that. All you need is the MEU. The other stuff is there for Iranian deterrence. The Marines in the expeditionary unit would also be qualified in ship to ship boarding and inspections. That could come in very useful if we have to board these Iranian ships. Having an aircraft carrier close by will convince the Iranian captains of the ship that it is in their best interest to cooperate.
Anyone who thinks we don’t already have several submarines in the area that could sink the entire Iranian navy in about 5 minutes is crazy. The carrier is for show
What a laugh. Does anyone think that Obama will interdict Iranian ordnance destined for the Houthis? Obama is there to assure that Iran gets it delivered.
Obama is playing games with saudis, counselling them to me moderate in defending their border with Yemen.
I mean tghe democratic process in Yemen has to play out in Yemen and we have to accept the Shia radicals and Muslim Brotherhood radicals just as he did in Iraq, Libya, Kenya ( Orange Party 2007), Syria, and in Gaza.Obama tried in Egypt but lost, with Obama’s man Morsi being sentenced to 20 years in jail. Obama believes that the U.S. exercising police power in the world is actually neocolonialism, and so he will not act to protect the status quo, he makes messes stirring things up and calls it “democracy.” Obama is an idiot,causing the deaths of millions of people throughout the Middle East and deep into Africa. Obama is a fascist psychopomp.
I do not believe for a second that the US Theodore Roosevelt will prevent supply of the Houthis. It is there to assure the resupply of the Houthis, for the same reason Obama would not arm the Pesh Merga in Northern Iraq. Obama is behind the Shiites all the way..
