hey it's your guy that is large and in charge.a sort of Con broken record.
Obama must be a genius when it comes to fighting a war. Order 1/5th of your surface warships in the Mediterranean Sea to return home before the shooting starts.
"<The guided missile destroyer USS Mahan (DDG-72) has left the Eastern Mediterranean en route to its homeport at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., according to several press reports.
Mahan’s departure leaves four destroyers left to undertake an anticipated limited strike on Syria.
Mahan had a planned ballistic missile defense (BMD) deployment extended in the U.S. 6th fleet area of operations while it waited for the U.S. to take action against the regime of Bashar al-Assad for an alleged chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21.
Four destroyers — USS Stout (DDG-55), USS Ramage (DDG-61), USS Barry (DDG-52) and USS Gravely (DDG-107) — are left in Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) in range of Syrian targets.
There are also likely U.S. submarines in the region to assist in the attack, although the Navy does not typically discuss the positions of its submarine force. '<

Oh...my...god...
Hint: a moving carrier makes wind and compensates for a lack of wind or wind in the wrong direction by doing things like accelerating. You can conduct fullscale carrier ops in both the Red Sea and the Gulf.
If I'm not mistaken, Russia, with a naval base in Syria, has 12 surface or undersurface naval assets in the Mediterranian now as well. That being the case, I don't think the numbers of ships America has on site now is indicative of less ability to carry out the suggested actions in Syria and I doubt that the Russians are going to engage American battleships in the Mediterranian if they should start attacking Syrian facilities, but you never know.
Look at how one of the worlds most stupidest wars began, the First World War.
Syria and their supporters just lay there and take it like a cheap hooker?
my 2 cents... either you do nothing or you do something big enough to convince everyone that you are not bull****ting around. a half-assed "token" strike isn't going to accomplish anything except piss people off.

I have never said we have to invade. your boy, Obama, said a token/limited strike with a handful of cruise missiles is NOT enormous consequences
:tongue4:hey it's your guy that is large and in charge.
He's the One wanting to fire off a few Tomahawks to save face, not us Cons :tongue4:
First things first-
I know cons have little respect for The President- how ever using the term 'your boy' is just piss ignorant.
If you don't know the difference between a rino and a Conservative how is that any of my concern?Cons have been demanding far stronger intervention for over a year now.
They don't need to sink any U.S. Navy ships, all they need to do is sink any merchant ship in the Suez Canal to #### everything up more than it already is.
It was Obama who abandoned the Middle East and North Africa with his lead from behind. It was Obama who supported the Arab Spring. It was all of Obama's failed foreign policies why the Middle East is a complete basket case today.
So what will the flight path be from the Red Sea to Syria? Who is letting us fly over their country?
There is no polite answer to such Obama hate. Irrationality will never accept reality
What if you have a 30 knot wind at your stern ? It's as if there is no wind if you're moving at 30 kts. in the same direction as the wind. It's as if the carrier is at a dead stop with no wind.
How long does it take to put an entire carrier air wing into the air ? How many miles will have the carrier traveled ? Then you have to retrieve those aircraft.
But then again, if things are still the same as they have been for the past three years, 50 % of the aircraft on the Nimitz are incapable of flying because of Obama's defense cuts before the Obama sequestration. The lack of funds for spare parts and maintance.
Where do you come up with hate ?
You're as bad a few others on this thread when they discover basic math that 1/5th or 20 % of 5 units is 1 unit.
Has our schools been dumbed down that much ?
Seriously, stop embarrassing yourself. If the wind is from the stern...you turn. This is not rocket surgery. The navy was able to conduct ops with little trouble in both the Red Sea and the gulf. Your ignorance is not going to change that.

It would be SO cute if the Syrians could actually nail a carrier with one of those Rooskie anti-ship missiles?
Them things look like they'd be easy to shoot down?
