I know! Sick, right?
Safer than a ferry in waters it wasn't designed for.
By sending in a US naval vessel with a bright red bullseye on it, so the Libyans have something to REALLY get excited about shooting?
Yes...by sending in a ship that can get them the hell out of the region.
Big red bullseye?
Excuse me....whereever our military is they have a big red bullseye on it.
Why is it an issue when it comes to saving Americans?
Jarhead, putting a US naval ship in Tripoli makes that bullseye a much more attractive target than putting it in Cork.
It's not an issue of "saving Americans". Americans were saved - all 167 of them.
No sir. They were not saved.
They fled....and not as quickly as they were hoping as they were held up by incimate weather.
There IS a difference.
