This is what happens when a weak, cowardly, stupid community organizer occupies the white house. Our enemies know he has no balls.

If Iranian naval fleets are headed toward the US, who is guarding their shores? I know, it’s a rhetorical question because of the Muslim in the White House won’t do squat, but I had to ask.

Sorry Ayatollah, they must have accidentally strayed into the Bermuda triangle and disappeared. We’ll let you know if we find anything.

Fars first reported on an Iranian Navy fleet of warships making its way across the Atlantic Ocean in January 2014. At the time, they reported that the ships would sail for at least three months.

Didn't the Mayflower make it in less time than that?

You are an arrogant american.

We can not shoot down the super sonic cruise missles that Iran may or may not have courtesy of china or russia.

Having a nuke for a warhead would be castastrophic.

“The fleet, consisting of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship, began its voyage last month from the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The ships, carrying some 30 navy academy cadets for training along with their regular crews, are on a three-month mission.”

Unless they’re carrying a nuke on a suicide mission, drug smugglers are a bigger threat.

Considering who ultimately commands our Navy presently...I'd say it's more probable that the Iranians will be pulling liberty in DeBlasios NYC.

Now is the time to see if those 16-inch rifles on the battleship ‘Missouri’ still work.
