USS SULIVANS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE ALLOWED TO GUT OUR MILITARY? WHY WERE OUR WARSHIPS REFUELING IN ENEMY PORTS? ASK BILL? BILL CLINTON'S GUTTED our military, selling military installations, navy oil reserves to Occidental Petroleum (Al Gore's company), sold bases to Hollywood, decommissioned war ships and tankers. Prior to Clinton, our navy had 33 oil tankers. Our fleets use to travel with their own oil tanker, but that was before Billy decommissioned all but 8. That's why the USS Cole was hit while refueling in an enemy port. USS SULLIVANS Al-Qaeda planned to attack USS The Sullivans on January 3, 2000, but the effort failed due to too much weight being put on the small boat meant to bomb the ship. • Despite the setback with USS The Sullivans, al-Qaeda succeeded in bombing a U.S. Navy warship in October 2000 with the USS Cole bombing, killing 17 USS The Sullivans bombing attempt On January 3, 2000, in Yemen, members of al-Qaeda attempted to use a boat with explosives to damage the warship USS The Sullivans while it was refueling in Aden. The attempt failed when the over-loaded, bomb-laden boat sank before detonating.[36][37][38] Jamal Ahmad Mohammad Al Badawi and Fahd al-Quso were charged in absentia in United States district court in 2003 for their alleged roles in several terrorist acts, including the attempted bombing of The Sullivans.[39] In 2011, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, held in Guantanamo, was charged with planning the attack on The Sullivans along with other attacks, facing death penalty.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_al-Qaeda_attacks
