Obama assassination bid fears - aircraft carriers on standby off Irish coast during G8 summit

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life.

The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution.

As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.

A source said: “It sounds like James Bond stuff but the Americans treat the personal protection of their President with the utmost seriousness.

“They have plans in place for all possible incidents, despite how unlikely they might seem or how much security is already in place.....

The difference is that President Ronald Reagan and President George H. W. Bush were Americans. Former junior US Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a completely different case.

IINM, when BJ Klintoon made speeches at US Military events, he had them all disarmed; either firearms collected and stored by SS, or mags and ammo removed and collected, until after he left.

This President follows the same practice at any military ceremonies. I believe they remove the bolts from the rifles.

...teleconferencing would work just fine..

But, then, Michelle would not have an excuse to rent 30 rooms in the expensive Dublin hotel where she will be spending millions of our dollars.

Doesn't the USAF already have use of 5 RAF bases in Britain?

FWIW: Isn't the whole "Potemkin village" plan supposed to keep people like this under wraps?

“US officials are taking the personal security of Barack Obama so seriously that they will be positioning two aircraft carriers off the coast of Donegal.”

Most recent info has two carriers in the Atlantic, but no more specific info on where they are today...

Dad (89 now) was with Patton across Europe and Battle of The Bulge, and said they kept their weapons loaded and at the ready, when he and his GS were around.

TWO AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!!! Yet the IMPOSTOR wouldn't scramble one single jet to save Americans in Benghazi from being slaughtered. Unfrickin' believable...............

I cannot understand why they would put the leaders of the most powerful nations all in the same area. Wouldn’t it be safer to teleconference, rather than invading some village and turning it into a temporary garrison?

One very good reason for all of us to hope & pray that no harm comes to Mr. Obama can be summed up in three words: President Joseph Biden.

I pray every night for his safety. We don’t need hundreds of elementary schools and streets named after him.

This picture gives a clue as to why the Irish like to drink. Whiskey goggles, anyone?

If the fear is that great then why put yourself at risk?

And at what cost?

What you suggest makes a whole lot more sense.

But we’re talking about leaders who are used to living high on the hog (on other people’s money). Talking on the phone and munching on a PB&J sandwich probably has no appeal to them at all.

Inconveniencing others barely registers with most of them, I imagine.

Two. USS Truman and USS GHW Bush aircraft carriers are both near Ireland.
