.MaddowBlog: National Security Adviser Bolton sends Iran a dubious ‘message’ with carrier strike group.
White House National Security Advisor John Bolton announced late yesterday that the United States “is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime.” As NBC News’ report noted, the strike group is not small.
There’s no shortage of questions surrounding the announcement. For example, was the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group going to be there anyway? NBC News’ report added, “According to the Navy, the strike group left Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, on April 1 on a regularly scheduled deployment.”But stepping back, I’m also eager to hear why John Bolton was the one to make this announcement. As a rule, the Pentagon would be responsible for issuing statements about deployments like these.
It’s the kind of question that might be answered at the Pentagon’s next press briefing, except in the Trump era, the DOD doesn’t really have press briefings anymore.
