  1. @CavasShips didn't 2006 NDAA say Iowa was to be preserved ready to fight? Did Congress change that?
  2. @BruceLinwood @sanpedrotoday USS Iowa is becoming a museum.
  3. Great pic RT @sanpedrotoday: The USS Iowa nears the Golden Gate Bridge... fb.me/1Z2ftapSO
  4. @KyleMizokami is she underway under her own power or being towed
  5. Many believe China intends to buy 2 aircraft carriers in the current 5 yr plan. I doubt that plan saw their economy turning south like it is
  6. Star Wars 35th anniversary fact: When handed the most powerful handheld weapon in the galaxy, a lightsabre, Luke points it at his own face.
  7. @blakehounshell it's unchanged. The only people who believe the US can solve that problem are in the US. The region certainly doesn't.
  8. But the results of her weakness on Somali piracy is Europe stepped up, a huge victory for US policy... so!
  9. It is fair to say Hillary Clinton is soft on Somali piracy, an issue with no impact to global trade. That weak whine is her only blemish.
  10. @InkSptsGulliver the Romney friends I know think he's a clown too. Bolton is not representative of what I've seen Romney say.
  11. @krisgenther just calling it as I see it. I didn't expect it, but she has unquestionably been great for America.
  12. @Beomoose not sure i buy that. Romney is many things, but like Obama he's not really a retread type guy.
  13. @drance gee... CHINA, NORTH KOREA, IRAN, VENEZUELA, ... adversarial regimes have found her chess is superior.
  14. @InkSptsGulliver he'd be terrible, and never hired. Bolton is a clown.
  15. It's hard to find a single issue in foreign policy where Hillary Clinton hasn't forwarded US interests. Even Libya did better than expected.
  16. If you ever wondered whose huge pair of gonads in US foreign policy slaps China sideways, the answer is Hillary Clinton.
  17. Hillary Clinton has done more for the US in foreign policy as Sec. of State than every President since Reagan, including her husband.
  18. The only differences in Foreign Policy under Romney compared to Obama is that the US would lose Hillary Clinton, who has been fantastic.
