re: #499 UberInfidel67

Our naval forces are probably sitting there with a plan and ready to act…but waiting on the word from the One, while he sits on his ass eating a specialty pizza!

Not likely. The Navy probably has option to act instantly if a opportunity presents itself, otherwise it’s keep talking and keep the captain alive. The oval office is too far out of the loop on operations like this, any POTUS leaves it to the military unless were talking international conflict.
