Remember how upset you were when in the third debate Obama replied to Romney's observations of our naval strength? You're playing with the same fire here. Your misquoting here for humorous effect opens you up to the same treatment; you probably won't like it. But more importantly, it is another example of your willingness to just make shit up whenever it suits you, facts be damned. Don't be upset when adults who are talking about real issues ignore or reprimand you for childish interruptions like this.

Until then, it will fly right over your head. I'm sure you could name, five (just five) specific plans that Obama will be implementing in this next term, surely? Perhaps because Obama NEVER NAMED five specific plans for his second term, throughout his campaign. |

It was a lie when you said it the first time, it's still a lie now. Changing the subject didn't work before, and won't work now. You've shown your devotion to that position despite how wrong it is. Every time you bring it up, I'll knock it down. Misquoting, putting words in people's mouths, lying, these are the actions of the ignorant, the malicious, of people who have no interest much less respect for the truth. I think you are a bit of all three. Our dialog will improve dramatically when you clean up your act in this regard. Not unlike those planes that land on those ships, eh?

And it MEANS, Obama has no tactical sense, at all. Or it's just another campaigning politician who lies. I wish he wouldn't do that about something as important as our Naval strength, however. Quote:

Dude, YOU have no tactical sense. How many oceans are there? How many ships do we have? How many ships per ocean?
I assure you, we don't have just one ship. Don't make me find that chart that's been floating all over the web of our navy's size compared to the navies of all the countries of the rest of the world. |

Actually, storms are bad around Adak Island, so go to Hawaii instead. But do it by boat/ship, not by plane. I assure you, ships don't travel by one's - they travel in a fleet or battle group, so they have air cover, anti-sub and anti missile cruisers, and subs and destroyers, as well. Currently, for the first time ever, US Navy is providing escort service to 99% of the oil tankers in the Persian Gulf - after threats from Iran. That has left us with NO ships in the Mediterranean Sea, at all, at times. Putting on your tactical hat for a moment, do you see where we could need a fleet around oh, maybe Libya, maybe Egypt, maybe near Israel, etc.? You know, places where our consulates have been attacked, or places where we have a threatened ally from Iranian naval ships WHICH ARE in the Mediterranean for the first time? You can't always wait while our fleet makes the three days journey from the Persian Gulf, around Yemen, and up through the Suez Canal, to get them into position. By then, it's too late. The attack in Benghazi was over in 6 to 7 hours, for instance. And, even if there was a timely fleet arrival to something longer lasting, then we still have a problem - who's escorting the oil tankers in the Persian Gulf? You can see the problem. I'm not saying we need to increase the number of our ships, but I AM saying FOR SURE!, that we do not want to continue decreasing the number of ships in our Navy. |
