I just posted this on another thread. Fits here as well.:

This is a real quandary for obama and hillary. Thus far, neither has made any serious moves to interfere with Iran which is allied with both Turkey AND Syria...and now Egypt. OTHER Western countries want assad’s hide, but i-bama is stalling. It will be interesting to see how he extricates himself from having to make a decision in front of the rest of the western world.

Interesting that our nephew-in-law, a member of the military, went to Iraq a few months ago - we can write him and send Christmas presents, but we can’t address him using his military rank - I guess if we don’t actually call them military we can still claim that we have all our troops out of the country......

As has happened before, when we leave a war zone too quickly, we end up having to go back for one reason or another. Keeping the peace means keeping war away. We are an impatient people and never seem to learn, muchless against an enemy for whom eternity is a blink of the eye. No matter how hard he tries, he leaves “Bush’s war” and goes back, it’s Obama’s war now.

Now that is interesting....raises questions of just what is really happening.

I hope this won’t interfere with the Obamalamadingdong’s upcoming 3-week, $40,000,000.00 Hawaiian vacation.

Jabhat al-Nusra is Iraq Al Qeada. So everything they acquire in Syria, can be transported back to Iraq. They are Sunni.

Obama's going about it just right -- he's quietly sneaking US troops into Iraq so that we can fight Syria and install yet another al Qaeda dictatorship in the Middle East. America will wake up some day and say "Wha' happen?" Now that's the way to git 'er done!

The al Qaeda whackjobs are battling for control of the Syrian government using the weapons supplied to them in Benghazi, courtesy of the United States. When they topple the Assad regime, they will have complete control of whatever WMD Quadaffi had squirreld away in Libya, plus Syria's WMD, as well as the WMD transferred into Syria by Saddam in 2003.

Of course there's no reason to fear that they will turn these weapons on Israel. Of course not.

Thanks Ernest.

RT reported that the Eisenhower is equipped to carry eight fighter-bombers

Huh? 8 fighter bombers... Just where did these guys pulls this from?

The current Strike Fighter compliment of Carrier Air Wing 7 (Nominal Aircraft):

VFA-83 Strike Fighter Squadron 83 Rampagers F/A-18C Hornet - 12 Aircraft

VFA-103 Strike Fighter Squadron 103 Jolly Rogers F/A-18F Super Hornet - 12 Aircraft

VFA-131 Strike Fighter Squadron 131 Wildcats F/A-18C Hornet - 12 Aircraft

VFA-143 Strike Fighter Squadron 143 Pukin Dogs F/A-18E Super Hornet - 12 Aircraft

So, at a minimum, there are 48 strike aircraft onboard. 8... I think not.

Just what could possibly go wrong? All praise nobama!
