US deploys single warship to Lebanon as show of support.


Wow, this warship must be Uber. It could probably take on the entire Iranian Navy at once. I'll bet its a Carrier. Wait, no, I forgot that carriers don't travel alone. Ok, its probably a battleship or atleast a guided missile crusier. Those things are can really blow shit up.

...wait.....wtf....

they sent a destroyer? A single destroyer? Thats it? Does it atleast come stocked with Navy SEALS? Well, just one destroyer can't really be that big of a target for terrorists. Its not like attacking it would be a major PR win for the terrorists, after all its only a destroyer. Its not like the World Trade Center where the first attack failed so they became determined to try again. Right? No, you don't agree? Why is that?...

...no way...

Its the USS Cole? As in the USS Cole that got bombed by Al Qaeda in 2000 while docked in Yemen. What, were there no other ships available? Is this the best the United States can do to show its support for Lebanon? Send in a guided missile destroyer that was almost sunk by Al Qaeda eight years ago. Seriously, this is just like bad fiction writing.
