America is responding to the Tuesday’s events in Libya with subtle intimidation. According to U.S. officials, two warships are en route to the Libyan coast as a result of the attack that killed American ambassador Chris Stevens and three staffers. USS Laboon and USS McFaul will be stationed off the coast and are outfitted with Tamahawk missiles, but do not have a mission at this point. The commanders would respond to any mission ordered by President Obama.
