This administration couldn't deliver a pizza on time if their lives depended on it.

WASHINGTON — As worries deepened last week about whether North Korea would conduct a missile test, the White House declared that ordering an American aircraft carrier into the Sea of Japan would send a powerful deterrent signal and give President Trump more options in responding to the North’s provocative behavior.

The problem was, the carrier, the Carl Vinson, and the four other warships in its strike force were at that very moment sailing in the opposite direction, to take part in joint exercises with the Australian Navy in the Indian Ocean, 3,500 miles southwest of the Korean Peninsula.

White House officials said on Tuesday they were relying on guidance from the Defense Department. Officials there described a glitch-ridden sequence of events, from a premature announcement of the deployment by the military’s Pacific Command to an erroneous explanation by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis — all of which perpetuated the false narrative that an American armada was racing toward the waters off North Korea.

By the time the White House was asked about the Carl Vinson on April 11, its imminent arrival had been emblazoned on front pages across East Asia, fanning fears that Mr. Trump was considering a pre-emptive military strike on North Korea. It was portrayed as further evidence of the president’s muscular style two days after he ordered a missile strike on Syria while he and President Xi Jinping of China were finishing dessert during a meeting in Florida.

The saga of the wayward carrier might never have come to light, had the Navy not posted a photograph on Monday of the Carl Vinson sailing through the Sunda Strait, which separates the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. The picture was taken on Saturday, four days after the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, described its mission in the Sea of Japan.

Now the world is playing Where's Waldo with the US fleet, making the navy the laughing stock of the planet. And Kim Jong Un is laughing at drumpf for doing nothing.

Republicans are so ill-prepared to deal with foreign policy. They are embarrassing.

Edit: And I agree with the above, even Dominoes Pizza could have gotten their sooner!

That was not a typo.

That was garden variety ignorance.

And, the rest of your post was horseshit.

So, to answer your question, you're the dumbass, dumbass.

Spicer Insists The White House Didn’t Mislead On Location Of U.S. Ships. It Did.

The wrong address? It isn't even a political discussion, it's phony left wing spin (fake news) second guessing the U.S. Navy. Unfortunately attacking the Military and the Trump administration over stupid shit like this and pretending it's news is typical of the left these days.

Reality directly contradicted the administration's spin yet again.

It may not be surprising, but it is news nonetheless.

Fake News alert!!!

The administration's narrative regarding the Vinson group was directly contradicted by its location and direction, in other words, reality.

Another idiot OP attracting leftist lemmings in search of a reason not to drown themselves. The Vinson Group went on ahead toward Australia to resupply and bring on more attack-craft and ordnance (possibly nukes)....now on their way north to join the Ronald Reagan Group leaving Japan. Kim Un Hung got his little missile launch hacked just to show the zipperheads we have several ways of making his life even more miserable.
