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.

Indeed, he has sent most of the AQ brass and a great many of their underlings on to their virgins. That doesn’t even begin to account for the ISIS scum dying under our bombs.
Russian forces have hit anti-Assad rebels to a much higher degree than they’ve hit ISIS positions. Putin makes no bones about it. He is there to prop up Assad.
How about some proof of this all to common conspiracy drivel, which, incidentally, was also spread about Bush.
A real military? Yes, Russia has a “real military”, but so does the US. The US air power in the region is now flying out of a base in Turkey and we had no need of a carrier that had been on station for 10 months. The crew needs a break and the ship needs PM and repairs. Nothing strange there.
Interesting trio of buzzwords there. No proof for any of them, but don’t they sound so “Right Wing” in a post? Yeeeeeha ‘Murica.
The Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch are the GOP. My isn’t this inane BS fun.
So sending a ship that has been deployed for 10 months in so the crew can get some rest and the ship can be tended to is “tucking tail”? Never mind we can hit anything in the region from the air base in Turkey that we now have use of. Why keep a carrier in the region, costing millions, when we can use a land base?
5th Grade playground name slaughter and BS. If Obama were Emperor, he wouldn’t need to put with the GOP.
Tell me how bringing in a ship that has been deployed for almost a year for crew rest and ship maintenance is being a coward, especially with use of a land air base in the same region?
Well, you had me right up to Hillary.
