FAIL. DNC Honors US Veterans With Video of Russian Ships
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 9:34 PM
Figures…
On the last night of their abortionpalooza, the DNC honored US veterans by playing a video of Russian ships.
The Navy Times reported:
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.
These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.
“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”
Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear how or why the Democratic Party used what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention.
A spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee was not able to immediately comment Tuesday, saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.

Comrade Obama, someone recognized our ships, hope Vladimir Putin is OK with that!
I though the MSM was supposed to cloak our operation and keep the American Public blind to our scheme?
Ghost commented:
why does anyone think it was a mistake?
mg4us commented:
Come to think of it, aren’t those MIG fighters in the upper right picture flying over the ships?
Who the Heck is the Commander in Chief. .
How does he explain this. .
Oh it’s Obama. . .never mind. .let’s just move along, nothing to see here.
God Help us!
Joe Blow commented:
As my old Mom used to say ” They don’t know the difference between their a** and a hole in the ground”. Too busy screwing assorted things to have time to notice things like showing Russian ships instead of American ships nor do they care.
Mad Hatter commented:
Obama wanted to show the worlds largest Navy, because if he gets reelected, he’s going to shrink our Navy down to the size of a shrimp boat company.
GrayRider commented:
Par for the course for the Democrat/Communist Party.

That’s what I was thinking. See, Putin, I was serious about more flexibility after I steal the last election the accursed Americans will ever have again. Soon your warships will patrol the American coast. Oh, and since you want Alaska back so badly…
Maxwell commented:
@ #3,
No, they are F5s.
Opaobie commented:
At the rate Obama is going, even the Egyptian Navy will have more submarines than we do.
Opaobie commented:
Not F-5s, F-5s are militarized Northrup T-38s. If they were part of the Russian show of strength, they are Russian aircraft.

Obama gives military secrets to Russia. Is this surprising? I guess this is what happens when good men do nothing.
Carbon Pootprint commented:
no accident
Collatinus commented:
Aw, give ‘em a break. Someone said, “We’re putting together a salute to our armed forces.” And the person putting the show together made a perfectly reasonable interpretation.

Just now noticing this?

A MESSAGE FROM GOLD STAR MOM DEBBIE LEE
September 11, 2001 a day that forever changed America and the history
of the world. Every adult can tell you where they were the moment that
they heard we were attacked and our innocence was stripped from us.
Terrorists had plotted for years to destroy us, “the infidel”, and that
morning they violently attacked America.
I still get a sick feeling in my gut as I remember watching the news and
seeing the planes flown into the towers in NY. Numb and in a state of
shock I watched as people wrenching from the extreme temperatures
of the fire and explosions, knowing death was imminent, chose to jump
from 80 floors up rather than suffer the slow torture of burning to death.
America watched as buildings crumpled to the ground and smoke and
pollutants surrounded the cities hiding the death and mass casualties.
America watched people running for their lives filled with panic and fear.
America watched brave First Responders, Fireman, Policeman, Paramedics
and Volunteers ran into the chaos, danger and destruction trying to find
someone who needed help.
In the hours and days that followed, as a nation, we watched as families
tried to find their loved ones and we prayed for those who had lost loved
ones. We wondered if there were more attacks being planned against our
homeland and America offered prayers. We tried to process what had
happened and figure out our defense. We tried to comprehend what kind
of an evil enemy attacks the innocent.
My oldest son was serving in the Marines, my daughter’s husband was in
the Army, Marc was a Navy SEAL, and my brother was in the Air force.
I could see the handwriting on the wall and knew I would have family
members deployed. As a nation we had tried every other alternative and
our last resort would be to deploy our military. If we didn’t we would just
be sending an invitation that we were weak and that the radical terrorists
could inflict more death and damage on America.
As Americans we have the finest and bravest men and women who stood
up and said we will stand in the gap for the innocent lives that were stolen
from us that morning of 9-11. Our troops chose to defend their honor and
show their families and our country that we will never forget. They
resolved to bring justice, defend our great nation, and protect America and
her freedoms.
We will never forget 9-11 and those innocent lives that the terrorist had
targeted that day to be killed. We are so grateful for our defenders both
in public service and military service who came together in the midst of
one of the greatest tragedies in America. We will never forget each of
our fallen warriors, like my son Marc Alan Lee who proudly wore the
military uniform with pride and died in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were
defending each and every one of those who the enemy so violently killed
on 9-11, they were defending our honor.
Yet we will also not forget that as a nation Americans came together and
stood strong, tall, united and showed the world that we were not a people
to be messed with.We fell to our knees and recognized that we are
resilient and strong because we are “One nation under God.” Yes we are
a Christian nation and we recognized that our strength comes from God
and Americans prayed continually for comfort, peace and strength.
Today we remember and wrap our arms around each family who has lost a
loved one on 9-11 or the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan. We will never
forget and will keep you in our hearts and prayers forever.
Because Americans remember, we have resolved to stand resilient, even stronger and prouder. The enemy thought they were attacking America and what we stand for, they did not strike America, they struck individual places. As Americans we stood united and looked the radical Islamic terrorists in the face and refused to be threatened or intimidated by them. Americans buried our loved ones and comforted one another. We confronted and hunted down those demonic terrorists who wanted to bring America to their knees. We showed the world who we are and what American Exceptionalism is. We continue to live our lives and teach our children who Americans are the history of our great beginnings and our founding fathers.
Inspired by America’s mighty warriors who heroically defended us and gave
their lives fighting the radical Islamic terrorists we continue in the fight for
freedom.
We are America, we will not falter, we will not fail, we will not be moved!
Debbie Lee
