    Default US deploying carrier & bomber task force to Iran

    US deploying carrier and bomber task force in response to 'troubling' Iran actions
    By Kate Sullivan, Barbara Starr and Brad Lendon, CNN
    Mon May 6, 2019

    Washington (CNN)The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East in response to a "number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings" from Iran, US national security adviser John Bolton said Sunday.

    A US official with direct knowledge of the situation told CNN the threats were against both US maritime and land-based forces in the region. The deployments are aimed specifically at deterring any Iranian military actions, the official added.

    In a written statement released by the White House, Bolton said the US was deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region in the Middle East "to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force." ...

    In comments made Sunday night, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the deployments have been in the works for "a little while."

    I guess they aren't going over to wish them a happy Ramadan.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Perhaps he can't,

    I kinda thought it was to hear the crazy war monger ideas "for balance" & perhaps to make his decisions not look so crazy, as opposed to bolton kinda crazy..
