Obama assassination bid fears aircraft carriers on standby off Irish coast during G8 summit

If I was a liar, murderer, criminal, gun runner, traitor, and whatever else the president that resides over a rogue government falls under, I'd probably fear for my life too

Oh yeah forgot to mention 'protestors' were brought up is that how you want protestor's dealt with?

Jdams, and smart bombs ?

So of course nobody here has bothered to ask what Carriers? Because as of right now no Carriers or AWS are in the area. Thier are two carriers in the Atlantic but not near Europe nor heading there. Of course the fact that the US has airbases in the UK would make the entire idea of needing carriers silly to begin with. Oh ATS is their nothing you will not believe.

Just throwing this out there.....it's the Whitehaven maritime festival this year, the Americans always like to join in, usually with a big ship or two. Something to do with John Paul Jones 1778 failed attack on the town, and the fact that George Washingtons grandmother is buried in the town (visited the grave, I only live 8 mile away).

Is it possible they are in the area for that? If I go through to the festival and I see any yank carriers off shore, I'll get some photos.

(Whitehaven is on the North west coast of England, in the county of Cumbria....not far from Ireland really)

2 carriers with 10,000 people not counting the other ships in a carrier battle group because carriers don't travel alone. with 180 aircraft is TOO MUCH.


It is a serious missallocation of resources.

Of course it is.

Anyone reminded of the time that Obama went to India, and FOX News was all a buzz about how astronomical it was going to cost, and that we were sending 1/3rd of our navy to escort him?

Then it turned out to be complete BS?

It cost no where near the amount, and the naval dispatchment sent to "escort" the president was already there anyway.

Probably the same deal here.

Well i checked into the press in ireland and yes the ships are there. Doesnt surprise me though this is a G8 summit It would surprise me if they werent there all those world leaders in one place. Yhe Irish are having a field day reporting on the summit heres today.

But day one of the G8 in Northern Ireland ended with a tense Obama-Putin face off over arming the rebels in Syria. In a rousing speech at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Monday morning, US president Barack Obama urged the young people of Northern Ireland to build on the successes of the peace process and strive to heal the divides that still afflict the region. Addressing an audience of 2,000 invited guests, the majority of whom were school children, the president said it was up to young people to challenge hardened attitudes and prejudices and push the current generation of political leaders to drive towards lasting reconciliation. America's First Lady Michelle Obama also spoke at the Waterfont, before travelling to Dublin with their daughters. Obama then made the journey to Fermanagh where he and David Cameron took a break during intense discussions about Syria and other issues facing the G8 summit to help pupils with a mural at a local school. The two leaders visited Enniskillen Integrated Primary School as they prepared for the formal start of the two-day summit being held in the Northern Irish town. En route in the president's armoured car, known as The Beast, the pair discussed the fraught issues facing global leaders gathered in the UK for the annual talks, most notably the serious split in the international community over the Syria crisis. Monday afternoon saw Europe and America launch talks on a free trade deal which Prime Minister David Cameron believes could add £100 billion to the world economy. Cameron also had talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom he last met as leader of the opposition in 2007, and said he hoped to further develop "the very good state of bilateral relations between Britain and Japan". But the day ended with the Western nations facing down Russian president Vladimir Putin over his support for the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria. Divisions between Moscow and the West were laid bare at the annual gathering of world leaders, which comes days after President Barack Obama suggested the US may send weapons to the Syrian opposition.www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk...

You "checked into the press in Ireland and yes, the ships are there." This is what got us into this mess in the first place. Neo "checked the press." and reported it as fact. So exactly WHICH carriers are there?

CVN-68 Nimitz is in the 5th Fleet AOR (06/12/13).
CVN-69 Eisenhower deployed to the 5th Fleet AOR (2/22/13).
CVN-70 Vinson is underway in the Pacific Ocean (06/12/13).
CVN-71 Roosevelt is at Newport News for RCOH & non-deployable, Avail late 2012.
CVN-72 Lincoln is in home port, Norfolk for RCOH & non-deployable, Avail 2016.
CVN-73 Washington is in home port, Yokosuka, Japan in DPIA (02/04/13).
CVN-74 Stennis is in home port, Bremerton undergoing 14mo DPIA (05/03/13).
CVN-75 Truman is underway in the Atlantic preparing for an upcoming deployment. (04/24/13).
CVN-76 Reagan is underway in the Pacific (06/12/13).
CVN-77 Bush is underway in the Atlantic for routine training. (04/24/13).

Both the Truman and The Bush are off the coast of the US about 3,000 miles (at least) from Ireland. Oh, you say, what about our "other" carriers, the small ones?

LHA-5 Pelelieu is in home port, San Diego (06/12/13).
LHD-1 Wasp is in home port, Norfolk (11/21/12).
LHD-2 Essex is in home port, San Diego in drydock – non-deployable (11/28/12).
LHD-3 Kearsarge is in 5th Fleet AOR (04/24/13/13).
LHD-4 Boxer is in the Pacific Ocean (11/21/12).
LHD-5 Bataan is in home port, Norfolk (04/24/13).
LHD-6 Bonhomme Richard is in home port Sasebo, Japan (02/06/13).
LHD-7 Iwo Jima is in home port, Norfolk in drydock (12/20/12).
LHD-8 Makin Island is in home port, San Diego (11/21/12).

And THAT, ladies and gents, is where our carriers are this week. But, as usual, ATS and its "Deny Ignorance" policy tends to promote it. Three pages, lots of stars and flags, for a COMPLETE FABRICATION!

The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution.

So the Waffen SS has 'diplomatic immunity' means they can shoot and kill anyone even if it's not a 'would be assassin'.

IIRC, the Secret Service has always had diplomatic immunity. It doesn't mean they have carte blanche to shoot anyone they like.

Calling them the 'Waffen SS' is just pathetic.

Personally I can't wait for the puppets to leave my island..
No-one asked me if I wanted them here, leave and take you war talk someplace else, or go into the field and fisty cuff it out between yourselves..

To be honest the bbc news site have been covering every inch of the g8 summit especially the BBC Northern Ireland page, this is the closest ive seen them come to mention aircraft carriers -

But of particular interest are two larger grey boats on trailers on the shore. We hear those are owned and manned by the US marines and are part of back-up plans, apparently factored into worst case scenarios in relation to the most high-profile G8 attendee, President Obama. Our boat is ushered away firmly as we outlive our welcome and it is back to the lough.

Here is the link to the site.

I think all the leaders of the world should be locked in a room and they can fight one another instead of using other people to kill for them while they are secured and protected all of them are a bunch of evil murdering ***holes

I just read a right wing blog that said that instead of carrier battle groups the USAF has a fleet of TR-3 Black Manta triangles on station to protect the president and I am outraged! Do you know how much antigrav craft cost!

Talk about a misallocation of resources.. all on the taxpayers dime.

Awesome thread.
