As Russian warships rain down cruise missiles as part of its military strike in Syria, there’s now a glaring absence in the region: For the first time since 2007, the U.S. Navy has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.
Military officials report the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is home to about 5,000 service members and 65 combat planes, has left so that it can “undergo maintenance.” The ship officially exited the gulf around 11 p.m. ET. The temporary measure is also the result of Obama and Democrat mandatory budget cuts. More disconcerting material on the next page:
When you elect a third world president twice, pretty soon you will have a third world country.
WHAT THE PHUQUE IS OBAMA DOING???!!!???!!!
N@$%er sucks
This is one of those benefits of the Sequestration, monies for maintenance of Aircraft Carriers were insufficient for the need so shipyard overhauls were deferred. When it becomes absolutely necessary, you stop and do it regardless of operational needs.
Without any air support, what would you rather do with a half-trillion aircraft carrier, aircraft and personnel? Get your head straight…
good !
not obama alone…every government official that backed him and well when you’re broke you’re broke and there’s not much else you can do
HE’S TRYING HIS BEST TO DO THE MOST DAMAGE HE CAN BEFORE HIS LAST DAY….I DONT LIKE TO HEAR HIS NAME..DONT LIKE TO LOOK AT HIM AND IM COUNTING THE DAYS!!!!!! GIVE ME STRENGTH LORD!!!
