Well said. IMO, Democrats & their GOPe sycophants are nothing but traitors and the enemy of real Americans.

Provocatively?!

10 years ago we would have ‘provocatively’ left their ships at the bottom of the ocean and the ground black and smoking!

There was a time when Iran would have soiled itself at the sight of American warships on the horizon.
But now?
When Iran ‘tested’ those rockets they were snatching our pants down and laughing.
Today they put us in a headlock and gave us noogies.
Next they plan to bend our arms behind our backs and force us to yell, “Uncle!”
Obama believes America deserves this.

The child emperor is willing to give in to those who are so scary that they make him poop in his pants.
******************************************
Not scary to Obama, as he continues to facilitate Islamic terrorist groups IAW the religion of Islam in which he was raised and still supports.

I can’t stomach them anymore. Even at family parties. Well, there’s only a few, but they say the most STUPID things.

Ben Affleck said he can’t watch a movie with a republican in it, and he could never be friends with one.

right back at ya, Ben!!

So did the aircraft carrier flip its skirts at the Iranians, or was it more subtle.
/sarcasm for those that get their panties in a twist

The CVN’s skipper probably began launching helo’s to pick the crew up from the disabled boat. I would guess that if they didn’t have a tanker on station that they launched one of those and a couple of fighters to cover the rescue as well.

But this is just like a “man overboard drill”. A task force would just react automatically to the situation.

If the officers in command showed any backbone or lack of submission at all, they will be fired.

You bet, the Iranians are interrogating them while searching and going through our boats, which they will probably not be releasing.

They'll display the boats for "war-prize" propaganda, like the Norks did with the USS Pueblo. Then New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will visit the Iranian display.

It should have acted provocatively. It should have launched all of it fighters and levelled some nice Iranian cities.

Further proof our standing ROE have been neutered by Bambi.

The CTF should have fired on any IRGC forces approaching our vessels.

A carrier fooling around for 40 minutes isn't provocative.

Turning into the wind, putting on steam, and launching several dozen aircraft...that's provocative.

You may have misunderstood me or more likely I was unclear in my statements. I would never believe the men and women who serve, to be fearful of defending our country or their brothers in arms. I am speaking directly to the chief cockroach residing in the White House and his designated sub roaches.
