Well I’ll be the first to state the obvious:
The name of the ship could prove to be ironic….
God Speed guys – we’re praying for you.

Not only will the US do absolutely nothing to this ship,we will soon be sending Hillary to NoKo with an aircraft full of currency to keep him quiet for a while(this payoff will be played down by US media).
This has been the routine for the last 10 years and it pays Kim well fror maintaining it

Yes the destroyer of John McCain sends the destroyer John McCain to fight the bad guys.

hmmmm

Why? the ship is probably unarmed. I know the close relative proximity is the reason Hawaii was chosen but isn’t it ironic that it is also the “birth state” of the CIC?

‘Nuff said.

Dave is probably right. Probably take them some more nuke secrets as well like Slick Willy Clinton
did for the commie Chinese in exchange for campaign money.
The only boat that will carry Comrade Barry Hussein Obamallah Soetoro Barak’s name will be a garbage skow docked in Haiti.

CommonSense –

LOL! Good point. Just as the USS Liberty that was attacked by Israel in a failed false flag attack was aptly named. Let’s explore the possibilities.

1) The “John McCain” – living up to its name, break apart and sinks for no real reason.
2) In a feeble act of war it “intercepts” the ship then pretends others are the aggressors when they respond.

Either way they get their war they are looking for.

How come the Somalis were not described as “intercepting” those chips? Why aren’t the Americans described as pirates? They are doing the same things.

Seems sort of dumb. I guess they will be forced to send the stuff by rail or truck now. Navel blockades don’t work so well when the two countries have a common boarder…

BTW – The ship is named after John S. McCain, Jr. and John S. McCain, Sr., both former Admirals in the United States Navy. Our present Senator John McCain had a bus named after him or something.

Of course the leftists get upset when we mess with a communist country. They would prefer to wait until the lunatic in N Korea can hit Hawaii with a nuke.
Maybe they are hoping that happens so they can say Obamallah’s papers were destroyed in the attack and now they can’t produce them – sorry. LOL

And then the next target he can hit on the left coast will the Peoples Republic of California.

Strange how the mainstream media is pretty much ignoring this story . . . in favor of reporting on Hillary’s elbow surgery and what guests are saying on Conan and Letterman.

“Maybe they are hoping that happens so they can say Obamallah’s papers were destroyed in the attack and now they can’t produce them – sorry. LOL”

Nada problem, Kenya is still out of NK’s range :D

@GlobalObserver
“Strange how the mainstream media is pretty much ignoring this story . . .”

If it were an important military operation, all the details would not be all over the media long before the military action took place :D Or maybe FOX has loose lips

If there is anything important at all on board, they will huge the coast in territorial waters to get back home. If there is nothing, they will run out there and allow themselves to be boarded and they will whine like banshees. If it is super cool, the boat will go out with a fully armed Chinese navel escort to see how tough they US want to play.

China is the other player in all this and they have full H-Bomb strike capability everywhere on Earth.

Maybe Obama is taking the test too them. But little NK has China right behind them!!

I assume they know what they are doing. If it was Bush, I would assume it was all a big mistake…

SuperSarge229   June 19th, 2009 - 6:43 pm

Sink the darn thing!

SuperSarge229   June 19th, 2009 - 6:47 pm

Larse,
Obama is freaking clueless when it comes to military subjects.
That bozo is the biggest mistake the American voting public has made since Jimmy Carter!

Larse   June 19th, 2009 - 8:03 pm

@SuperSarge229
“Sink the darn thing!”

But what is the plan to follow… Reigniting the Korean war does not seem good unless you have a well detailed greater war plan to follow and how it will be played out… Do you have any idea what that takes to create!! Let alone, get approved for action…

Or, were you just shooting from the hip like that old Texican Bush…. Fail!!!!!!!!

SuperSarge229   June 22nd, 2009 - 7:20 pm

Push with tanks, troops & attack helicopters all the way to the Chinese border, establish a new government run by a united Korean front, and tell China if they don’t like it, we’ll stomp their stinking slant eyed behinds into a mud hole on our way to kick the living snot out of Russia!

Any questions, Kandy Arse?

I’m so sick of America being run by a bunch of…
C…an’t
U…nderstand
N…ormal
T…hinking

cowards!!

Getting approval for anything other than apologies to the Islamic wh-ores, who the current (see above) will not allow to happen in this administration!

I hate cowards!
Especially left wing cowards!

SuperSarge229   June 22nd, 2009 - 7:22 pm

Now Larse, go suck your thumb and dream about how you wish you could hang with the big boys!
