    Re: Obama Traveling to India in Style

    I'll put it like this, IF there was something so big about to happen that that much stuff was necessary, there would be NO way to hide it. In case you haven't noticed, Obama and his ilk can't keep a secret worth a damn. I'm still pissed at the Russian "inspectors" crap he pulled...

    Protection/diversion for Obama in India after this one? You would think he would have canceled.

    Yeh, that number is just ludicrous. From some quick math, I think I came up with 5 MM a day. I did some quick calculations and assumptions on food (80 per diem for 3K), travel (looked up some fuel usage by 40 planes), stay (3K times 200 a night), and I came up with 4MM a day, bump it up to 5MM because I know I am not getting everything. 200MM just seems ridiculous.

    Re: Obama Traveling to India in Style

    Yall jumped in there ahead of me, but yes, these figures extremely inflated. Cannot speak for the cost (but are ridiculous), but as for the Navy, we would be hardpressed to find 34 ships (not boats or small craft) to deploy. Between regular deployments, repair and replenishment operations, training and workups, and other normal navy events, I am not even sure we can scrounge up half that number. Maybe if they are talking brown water craft, perhaps. But even then I would doubt it. I am no fan of Obama, but this is probably not what has been reported in the press. We can blast the President for many things, but spending $2B on this trip is not one of them.

    If anyone can provide a list of the 34 ships to deploy, I would be more than eager to see it. If this is true, then I will be absolutely shocked!


    Of interest, but probably just a coincidence. On the Navy site, we currently have 144 ships away from homeport, or 50% of the fleet. Of those, 110 are on deployment, leaving.....34! :icon_wink:

    The info in question originated from an Indian website with an anonymous source. Wasn't trustworthy from the get-go.

    You do know that was also said in the Fox news article, right?


    Plus, a little common sense and intelligence would tell you there was no possible way for that to happen. I know you have plenty of both, so I'm not sure why you kept, and keep, pushing that something is up.

    I've only see one Fox article and there's only one on here. It was being reported elsewhere for the most part. And yes, I can see Obama doing this exactly as reported and in fact they never denied it until it finally became news in the mainstream press and the congressman and Senator were questioning it as well.

    BTW, I posted the article above stating the navy portion of this wasn't totally true per google. We shall see how this whole thing turns out possibly. Then again we might never know.

    From the FN article:
    Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell also outright rejected the claim that 34 warships would patrol the Mumbai coast while Obama is in town.*

    "I think there has been a lot of creative writing that's been done on this trip over the last few days," he said. "We obviously have some support role for presidential travel ... but I will take the liberty this time of dismissing as absolutely absurd, this notion that somehow we are deploying 10 percent of the Navy, some 34 ships and an aircraft carrier in support of the president's trip to Asia -- that's just comical.

    "Nothing close to that is being done, but the notion that president would require security as he travels to India and elsewhere should not come as a surprise to anyone," he said.*

    A military official also told Fox News the warship claim was inaccurate. The official knew of no such plans and said, besides, a carrier strike group typically has 10-12 ships at most.*
    You are giving Obama way too much credit to pull stuff off. Think about how it started. A newspaper in India says it, so it must be true? Every extremist site, left and right, picked it up and went from there, and reported it as fact, with no source? Then REAL journalist look into it, and call it bunk, but their wrong? Come on. Like I said, I know your smarter than that. There is just no way to reason for any of that to be true, none. There is nothing to "know". If you want to "know" the security details, either become a well-connected and funded terrorist and pretend you are in a James bond film, or join the Secret Service. Obama has almost NO say on what and how security is handled.
