Oh my oh my. Words fail me. This is right from the Navy Times. They deny God and Jerusalem and then put up Russian ships in a tribute to vets.

Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets

Retired Adm. John Nathman speaks on stage with military veterans during the final day of the Democratic National Convention on Sept. 6 in Charlotte, N.C. Experts say the ships in the background are Russian.

On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.

But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.

While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.

These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.

“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”

Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear how or why the Democratic Party used what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention.

A spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee was not able to immediately comment Tuesday, saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.

Well, what can you say, the administration doesn't check their facts very well in any action they take. A little scary, isn't it?
 
Makes perfect sense that the Commie lovin' Dems would display Russian Ships.

The planes could be either F-5's, T-38's or F-18's.
 
oh please! this guy is just a neoconservative Reagan advisor who sees Russian ships everywhere and longs for the Cold War days and probably wet himself when Romney said Russia was America's number 1 enemy.

You didn't read the article in the Navy Times did you?

As they say in ECW "you fucked up you fucked up you fucked up".

And as they say in tinydancer's world "you fucked up beyond all recognition".

Freaking Russian warships at the DNC convention displayed during a tribute to vets is freaking FUBAR!
