U.S. Warships Move Into Position For Possible Strike On Syria

So we’re going to fire cruise missiles on behalf of al-Qaeda, and nobody in D.C. has a problem with this?

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. naval forces are moving closer to Syria as President Barack Obama considers military options for responding to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad government. The president emphasized that a quick intervention in the Syrian civil war was problematic, given the international considerations that should precede a military strike.

The White House said the president would meet Saturday with his national security team to consider possible next steps by the United States. Officials say once the facts are clear, Obama will make a decision about how to proceed.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel declined to discuss any specific force movements while saying that Obama had asked the Pentagon to prepare military options for Syria. U.S. defense officials told The Associated Press that the Navy had sent a fourth warship armed with ballistic missiles into the eastern Mediterranean Sea but without immediate orders for any missile launch into Syria.

U.S. Navy ships are capable of a variety of military action, including launching Tomahawk cruise missiles, as they did against Libya in 2011 as part of an international action that led to the overthrow of the Libyan government.

Thank You Zip and AP.

And the Lightning of Obama Strikes again: a President whose OK with Children who annoy their Unionized Teachers, the Elderly, and All Stops in between being defrauded Out of their Civil Rights and Into a Lobotomy, . . . is now preparing to launch Cruise Missles into Syria, . . . on behalf of Al-Qaeda.

AFTER, his equally competent Former Sec of State her HRC-ness:

assured that the Egyptian Military would have to forcibly depose their country's leader and use lethal force to put down its Muslim Brotherhood.

No matter who ends up in charge in Syria they're going to hate our guts. But Obama's committing America's NAVY to back up, . . . Al-Qaeda.
