Those missiles were bought and paid for by the unmarked currency sent to our new “partner in peace”, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Why are there NO consequences for these errors?

Obama fired back with more apologies for America.

i’m getting the feeling this is all a Saudi vs Iran, Sunni vs Shia proxy war.

Feels like deja by ll over again -twice.

All Obama has to do is draw a red-line around our boats.

Whoever designed the missiles know that the design requires modification to be effective.

Funny thing is we paid for the missiles to attack us.

Cash to Iran. Iran funds these attacks with our cash, and probably helps staff them too; once again with our cash.

We are so being played.

It does look like there was an attack:

https://news.usni.org/2016/10/15/cno-richardson-uss-mason-attacked-cruise-missiles-off-yemen

Rather than C-802 missiles supplied by Iran, there are reports that they are more likely to be C-801 missiles and their launchers scavenged off three Type 021 missile boats by defectors from the former Yemen Navy.

The Houthi militia just doesn’t have the trained crews that could arm, aim and fire these missiles. More likely they are defectors loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Countermeasures? Just countermeasures? Well bully for us and the SLQ-32. How about a counter-strike? Take out the launchers and they won't be reloaded and fired again. Or, gasp, preemptively take out the {expletive} launchers before they fire.

{expletive} ... {expletive} ... {heart-felt expletive} pussies running this thing with {creative expletive} ROE are going to get our sailors killed.

We need to re commission a couple of Iowa class BBS. We don’t need to fire back. When something harmlessly bounces off the side the skipper can run and hide in his safe place and without pilotage the boat will accidently run over the attacker.

Been watching Fox News (I know - they are bad but not as bad as the rest of TV news) - and have yet to see this story told. Most Americans have no idea that we are near war in several areas of the world.

Scanned the article carefully for the word “Iran” and couldn’t find it. Global MSM continues to cover for Obama and his jihadi compatriots.
