The USS Hopper travels with several other ships. They were with it today in the Persian Gulf. They were lucky they weren't destroyed. The USS Hopper is an Arleigh Burke Class Missile Destroyer. It carries Cruise Missiles and the like. They are there to see it that Bush has a full compliment of war machines while in the Persian Gulf. I don't know why else they were there. Certainly, Russia isn't going to mount an attack against Georgie while on a so called Peace Initiative.
They were in route to the Persian Gulf because Bush is vacationing there this week. Official White House statement calls it a Peace Mission. It's simply going through the motions of crony politics.
Briefly, Bush is an idiot. He could have lost three USA warships today in his arrogance and incompetence as Commander and Chief. Right now, Vladimir Putin is laughing his flying ass off over what happened today with Iran. I imagine he is laughing while sipping on a White Russian with his favorite general.
I'll explain.
