Yup. The goal is to get a Nimitz class carrier sunk. Why? Because that would be devastating to the United States’ ability to project power around the world.

Hmmm...

Sink an American Aircraft Carrier in the 'Strait of Hormuz' and watch what that does to oil prices. The fact the carrier is named after Bush would be a two fer for Obama and his muslim terrorist brothers.

The carrier has indeed been given orders to deploy but what really upsets the Navy's top brass is that President Obama issues orders that all armaments, ordnance and defensive systems were to be removed before setting sail.

The officers of the carrier have been issued several documents that will then be passed onto the ISIS commanders. Those documents are letters of intent to slap mild sanctions on their (ISIS’s) bank accounts in US banks.

THIS, ladies and gentlemen is the true application of SOFT POWER...

Nah, the carrier is a gift to the leader of ISIS, to show our respect and friendship. The Obama Navy is not about projecting power. Its main goal is Muslim outreach.

How much “red paint” is the G.H.W. Bush carrying for the lines odumbo will draw in the sands?

When you send troops to battle, you do not do it with “paint brushes”. IF we go into Irag again, it damn well better be to WIN or do not go at all.

Sending troops to their slaughter because it is both Obama and Allah's will.

LOOK! Over here! Ignore that America is under invasion from the South! Next will be an attack on Iran’s atom bomb facilities by “someone” that will be completely ineffective. What else? Clever minds are planning the complete distruction of America and I sit here, banging on a keyboard!

God help us all! We don’t seem to be able to. Happy Fathers Day!

Maybe Obama is moving a carrier group to the gulf to protect Iran from Israel?

I am sure it is the GHWB turn in line for deployment. If something happens over there it will be “Bush’s Fault”
