President Obama is so spineless that our enemies are pushing their provocations to the limit. Via NBC News:
Senior U.S. military commanders on Wednesday accused Iran’s military of “highly provocative” actions in firing unguided rockets 1,500 yards from ships including an American aircraft carrier.
The USS Harry S. Truman was crossing international waters in the Strait of Hormuz when Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRCGN) conducted a live-fire exercise right nearby, according to a statement.
An Iranian navy attack craft fired several unguided rockets near the carrier, officials said. A French frigate, the U.S. destroyer USS Bulkeley and other commercial traffic were also in the area at the time of Saturday’s incident.
Only 23 seconds warning was given before the weapons were fired, according to U.S. Navy Cmdr. Kyle Raines, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command.
The rockets were not fired at the Truman and other ships, and there were no direct communications between U.S. and Iranian navies, military officials said.
“The IRGCN’s actions were highly provocative,” Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, spokesman for the U.S. Fifth Fleet, said Wednesday in a statement.
This is not only an utter embarrassment, it’s dangerous. By failing to lead in any way whatsoever, Barack Obama has shown our enemies that any and all provocations will be tolerated, and he’s emboldened them. How much longer can we as a nation suffer this sort of incompetence?
