The Liveaboard List is not a political forum. Many right-wing commentators are attacking the administration because we have our warships supporting two wars and a pirate patrol. The Chinese chartered 3 cruise ships!
Why would we send warships for a peaceful evacuation? You wanna fight somebody else? We chartered a ferry that holds 600. Of the 300 passengers who left Tripoli on that ferry, only 168 to 200 were Americans. The total number of Americans that were in Libya was 600 to start with. Some took flights to include one US chartered aircraft. I'm still trying to figure out why the Brits sent a destroyer unless it was to save money. She was on her way home to be scrapped. Take your phony facts and politics elsewhere.
