Three Warships Headed For Region As Tension Grows Between Syria And U.S. Ally Lebanon

I can see that Democrats hate the American Military as much as any terrorist group. Democrats are screaming at the prospect of an American Ship sitting 15 miles off the coast of Lebanon. Our evil American Military strikes again. The only people who are mad about it are Syria, IRAN, Al Qaeda and Democrats. They all collectively have the same America Hating Agenda. Syria planned and carried out the assassination of the Prime Minister. IRAN trained and financed Hezbollah in its war with Lebanon and Israel and IRAN financed Al Qaeda so they could Homicide Bomb everything Lebanon just like they do in IRAQ. Democrats support all of them with Anti-American speech like %u201CThe War is Lost%u201D and %u201CThe War is illegal%u201D all designed specifically to motivate the Terrorists and kill Americans. You would never hear a Democrat or a Democrat Controlled News outlet mention that the only peaceful part of Lebanon, where tourists can go, is the "Christian Sector". Nope, while Bush fights a war on terror, Democrats fight a war on Christianity right here at home. And even worse, The Christian Sector is almost 80% Catholic, the people that Democrats hate most in the world. And Democrats, lead by Saddam Hussein OBAMA promise us a "New Change for America".

Hello Excited Viewers

I really hope we don''t miss the night launches of the scuds. It looks so cool when they go whizzing off the deck in the dark. and to have the night aglow with
bombs bursting above Damascus !
If they could just have waited till the fourth.
anyway hopefully it won''t be another dud no show.

Sincerely I like big ships even if I never been on one Bear

Sorry enlightenu, I meant to add to my last post that he WAS denouncing it as you said, by his deeds.

clestes- and the entire list is either left of center or so far left, it''s almost right. Iright both sides as much as poss., but I don''t have all day to do it. I do have to work sometime, millions on welfare depend on me.

Enlightenu notes: "No one has denounced the Constitution more than he."

No, he said we are a nation of laws. He wasn''t denouncing, he was lying.

[talkingham]

cats1 you''ve posted your usual moronic charges of anyone who says anything u don''t like is a traitor. don''t you realize that the Ruskies and Red China send our ships movements observed probably using our own satellites to anyone who pays them to do so. By the time we hear of it on CBS News it''s old news to anyone who''s really interested moron.

let''s put another 50 million Americans in jail if you''re willing to pay for it or their executions right? because they''re all traitors who oppose these wars of adventure and economic intrigue that everyone from the "founding fathers'' to President Ike saw coming when you let a moron, "ex" alcholic with a political agenda axe to grind drive our military in to the ground just like every comapny he ever ran or car he ever drove for that matter.

The U.S. 6th Fleet, whose area of operations includes the entire Mediterranean, is based at Naples, Italy.

ilikecats1 -
The "unofficial" announcement that the USS Cole is going with two refueling ships may not be so important. I don''t think you can hide ship movements, although I guess you don''t know where they are going before they get there.
Also, mentioning "two refueling ships" allays fears of a repeat attack on the Cole. It was docked for refueling when it was hit the first time, a very vulnerable position, because the enemy can get close.

The story here is that it has been released as a news story. We always have ships stationed there. Announcing this deployment serves multiple purposes.

1)It is a warning/threat (your call) against Iran. This week, things have been "heating up" in the UN over their nuclear program. Bush has been pushing for a new UN resolution against them. It was UN resolutions, in part, that Bush (mis)used to go to Iraq.

2)They are telling us, and showing a photo, of a carrier. They could fly a mission off that carrier, and the aviators may fight their way through AAA and SAMs bravely (and they are). No matter what the mission is, as long as the naval aviators are showcased, it would be a great big plug for McCain, who was one.

So I guess he is using federal money in his campaign, after all.
