While Russian warships launch cruise missiles in support of its military strike in Syria, it does so with a notable absence in the region. The U.S. Navy has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf for the first time since 2007.
According to military officials, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and it’s complement of approximately 5,000 service members and 65 combat planes, has departed to “undergo maintenance.” Whatever the stated rationale, this measure is the result of President Obama’s and Democrat’s mandatory military budget cuts.

I feel sorry for any of y’all that consider this page as unbiased and honest.
No, he should have kept the only American carrier there, we would have eyes on the situation….unless you have been in the Military, you would understand the importance….
Girly man Obama. Putin owns that punk!
Of course why wouldn’t they they say they don’t like Putin bombing Syria the quietly there supporting Putin it’s just a snow job to the American people

My comment was more of a dig at the fact that our current leader is so inept, we no longer are the superpower.
A ham sandwich.
But it was the rebels that used chemical weapons, not Assad. Let’s rewrite Syria’s fate as we did Iraq’s. Worked out well…..
I see it this was. Save the best for last,
