It wouldn’t be a bad idea to fix up the basement with bottled water and dried/canned food.

Things can always get hairy.

These are artificial islands built by China. One good typhoon and they’re history.

He will live well for the rest of his miserable life.

He detests America and all the good and decent things she stands for.

He will continue to do all he can to bleed her to death.

He is a very Evil man and he is demonically driven.

And here just today, I filled three boxes full of foodstuffs from the basement for a family in need.

Oh well, time to put that radiation detection kit together. :-)

That’s how it was relayed to me by an retired captain with inside info. Obama was the problem.

What do you mean Mr. Soetro doesn’t draw clear lines? Didn’t he say biological weapons were a clear red line for Syria? That seemed pretty clear to me...

“Washington’s friends in the South Pacific are crying foul.”

What? Suddenly Obamica gives a damn for its allies?

I actually looked it up to see who the Capt was, I thought it was someone 0bama was trying to throw into the spotlight for political reasons..

I was wrong.

“This business” has been totally out of anything like control for so long it doesn’t even qualify as a CHARLEY FOXTROT.

JMHO, absolutely nothing is going to happen except that LASSEN is going to sail by just as has been done for since forever, the PLA is going to puff up and do a really hot presser and....The 0 is going to go play golf. Nice Kabuki and I’m sure somebody “covering” this is going to get a couple of upticks on their ratings for a couple of days. (And who really cares what may happen to a couple hundred sailors if somebody screws the pooch?)

Same Sh**, Different Day.

(Thanks for the picture, anyway.)

For weeks, the US was rumored to have been planning a freedom of navigation exercise in the Spratlys which, as we’ve pointed out several times this month, amounts to sailing by the islands just to see if China will shoot.

China knows full well that if they shoot, hit an American Destroyer and cause casualties, Obama will race to his knees and beg forgiveness from his Communist Chinese masters.

Good to hear. Thanks for letting me know. Is he a Lt. Commander?

Ship Captains are first rate officers.

I expect Obama will order Lassen to sail well outside the 12-mile limit then announce on CNN it sailed within six miles.

We should hear something soon, it's Tuesday morning there now.

Riiiiiiiight. The Masturbator-in-Chief is taking on both Russia and China. Uh-huh.

The rectum didn't even take on the attackers of the Consulate in Benghazi.

Hopefully it will work, meanwhile pray hard that a super typhoon washes away China’s manmade island. After all if the ocean can wash away new volcanic islands in Iceland, no reason it can’t do that in S. China Sea.
