Uncovered

Japan frets over coming absence of US aircraft carriers

Cliff's Notes version: Obama's ill-advised budget cuts and virtual mothballing of half the carrier fleet have left the Navy stretched too thin to maintain the umbrella in the Pacific and Indian Oceans which we've provided since the end of WWII. Right at a time when China is on the rise and the North Koreans are getting frisky, both on land and at sea. Oh, and don't forget the Russians; see below.

If I had contrived to create a fictional character who would be least qualified as President of the United States, I couldn't have done better than Obama. Unfortunately, this isn't a story; this is reality. The reality in which we are plunging headlong towards World War III, like a car heading for the edge of the cliff, accelerator jammed to the floorboard, with an incompetent behind the wheel and an idiot in the passenger seat.
