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.

That’s Obama doing his agenda
Too bad they couldn’t actually be bothered to find an actual picture of a US Aircraft Carrier. Makes me wonder what else the just “phoned in”.
Where do you people come from? Tighten your foil hats, your brains are leaking out.
Obama makes this country appear weak! He is a sorry excuse for President and commander n chief!

Go figure…and we still have troops on the ground in afghan. Guess they don’t need any support…
Finally someone with some sense. Everyone wants to go to war until it’s time to head down to the recruiting station to sign up.
Thats not even an aircraft carrier in the picture its an LST “Landing Ship Tank”

Umm…Syria is much closer to the Mediterranean than the Persian Gulf, just FYI.
Moving the $4.5 billion carrier further out of range of Russian bombers, what a terrible idea!
