I wrote about this on Godlikeproductions, and this is unheard off truly. 34 warships to protect against an attack? The terrorists who attacked Mumbai came in on ships but it was a small group of 20 not a division of troops. It almost looks like if DC is attacked while obama is away then he will have the ability to continue govt. from where he is at and have essentially a very large taskforce of military and their ships to protect him out of country while he commands from afar. That is the only reason, 34 ships and one is a carrier I believe.

I think you'll find that 34 warships are not there specifically to protect Obama from an attack. The ships are already in the region and have been for a while. They didn't get sent from the US specifically for Obama's trip. You might want to let the airheads at GLP know about this too...

It's posted all over these threads that it is not true, but nobody reads them and the insanity continues.
The 34 Ships is false also.
Just Google it.

Blaine, you irrefutable logic has got to go. Around here we like sensationalism and unsubstantiated claims from bloggers in foreign countries who have no access to factual information.

I've only read up to page 6, so I apologize if this has already been posted. I found it reading today's news stories at my favorite sites. I heard he is taking 40 aircraft...is this correct? I did some reading on the entourages of past presidents and they to would seem to over do it a bit...but this one is bizzare..IMO. Read this and you'll see what I mean. And what is this for...really ?????

Ok so thats 34 warships, 6 armoured vehicles and how many Jets???? Then he decideds to take his family at the last minute?
There are 2 outcomes here that i think could happen.
1. Obama and his family are assasinated and an immediate strike on India occurs, hence the deployment of such large numbers of military craft.
2. Something happens in the US and the states is removing some of its arsenal from the American Shore in striking range of some middle east country that will be held responsible.

What's YOUR source? Pentagone? May I LOL here?
"” He said it was customary to not discuss such security requests, but “I made an exception in batting down this absurd notion of there being 34 ships, or more than 10 percent of the Navy, deployed in support of this trip. That is most certainly not the case.” "
If it's customary to not discuss such security requests, why they DID make an exception?edit on 4-11-2010 by Esger because: (no reason given)

But somehow you take the claims of a random blogger in India as more valid?
So the two sources we have are, a) blogger in India and b) the pentagon. Now you may not entirely trust the pentagon but this blogger has no connection or source to cite.
You may "LOL" all you like but it only makes you seem silly as you are choosing to believe some blogger in India as a valid source.
