Just settling in for the trans-Atlantic crossing that would bring them home to the States for the holidays, the sailors and Marines aboard the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group got the call to turn around and head to Israel.
The USS New York, USS Iwo Jima, and the USS Gunston Hall had all been winding down six month deployments when the Pentagon ordered the group on reserve to help Americans looking to get out of Israel in the coming days.
Barbara Starr at CNN reports one official said: "'This is due diligence. It is better to be prepared should there be a need ... the ships would be used only for assisting Americans and not for any combat role."
Blow Iran and those Radical Muslims off the World Map U.S.A.!!!
ReplyDelete1:32-If only it could be done without killing innocent civilians I would agree with you wholeheartedly.
ReplyDelete3:51 is right. All Iranians lost any claim to innocence in 1979. The "innocent" masses of Iranian people allowed & participated in 1979 and STILL call in virtual unison for the destruction of the U.S. and Israel. They are the enemy, and when at war with a nation, there are no "good" ones till after we destroy them or they defeat us. I wish we had real president like Truman and generals like Pershing!
ReplyDeleteBlack Jack Pershing should take care of them in a couple of weeks
ReplyDeleteJust drop the big one in a show of strength out in a desert somewhere. They would get the message.
ReplyDeleteAnother 'Tonkin' incident waiting to happen?
ReplyDeletePersonally sick off all this politically correct B.S. about civilians in the middle east. These Islamists are not civil. They purposely target civilians. They are not bound by the Geneva convention. They are barbarians and should be executed en mass before they obtain the weapons to do the same to Israel.
ReplyDeleteThat is their goal, it is stated in their charter. Incinerate Gaza and all belligerents in Lebanon and Iran now before they become too powerful. Break the will of the muslim people or euthanize them like you would a rabid dog.
got to love the internet tough guys.
