U.S. to deploy more ships to support Libya planning

[The Northerner]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will deploy additional amphibious ships to the Mediterranean, the military said on Friday, as part of the Obama administration's plans for responding to ongoing violence in Libya.

The USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group will deploy on March 23 "ahead of its original schedule in order to relieve units from the USS Kearsarge (Amphibious Ready Group) currently positioned in the Mediterranean Sea," it said in a statement.

The arriving group includes the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan, based in Virginia, and other ships.

2. Yeah, how was that for a case of projection?

The guy makes multiple public speeches talking about exterminating entire populations, announces that he'll be giving no quarter when he takes Benghazi - such an announcement being about one of the most criminal things one can do under the laws of war such as they are - and then he calls out the other guys as committing crimes against humanity.
