Barack Obama blames US Navy for increased North Korean tensions.
Red State ^ | 4/7/13 | Moe Lane

Posted on 04/07/2013 10:47:54 AM PDT by Nachum

Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea:

So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far?

That’s the apparent message from senior administration officials who, according to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, said that they had long planned to send B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers, and F-22 fighters to the Korean Peninsula as part of preplanned wargames with South Korea, but that they had not planned the recent deployment of Navy destroyers.

Last weekend, the U.S. ordered two guided-missile destroyers to the Western Pacific — the U.S.S. John S. McCain and the U.S.S. Decatur — to provide additional defense against North Korean ballistic missiles.

Any chance we could send our most honored naval vet, Senator McCain out as a goodwill ambassador?

If he happens to be taken prisoner, oh well.

Which goes to even further embolden our enemies including North Korea. They certainly know the US Navy doesn’t move ships around without authority especially into politically sensitive areas.

I am fighting a battle in my own mind, trying not to have hatred for these slime sucking scum bags. At this time, I am not sure I will win the battle. There is no limit to the evil they will stoop to.

Well, you know Moochelle screwed up the other day and referred to herself as a “single mom”. My immediate thought was: makes sense to me. Those girls don’t look anything like Obama.

Barry should fly to Pyongyang to personally bow and apologize.

Let me see if I get this straight. Obama sends B2s and F22s to Korea, flying them around the 38th parallel. These are clearly OFFENSIVE platforms. The Navy sends to missile defense ships to demonstrate that we will DEFEND our allies against attack. Which is considered an agressive action by Obama? Sending OFFENSIVE platforms designed for stealth attack, or sending Burke Class DDGs designed to shoot down missiles launched against allies? This is certainly bizzaro world.

Yes it's real.

Several White House staffers reported after he kicked open the door, he went into the Oval Office, orders a six pack of Colt 45 malt liquor, then proceeded to smash several pieces of furniture.

Fact checking? We can’t have that. ;-) Besides this is clearly the North Korean’s fault. End of winter, probably the whole country is starving. Let’s not feed them for a change. Show that nasty tantrums don’t work.

Obama is fighting now with the military under his command? They are deployed under his command.

They are there because HE SENT THEM THERE!!

In my book, he is committing treason.
