Hmmm. Nice way for the Iranians to test to see how close they could get to our fleet with a nuclear weapon. A 10 KT bomb detonated within 200 yards would destroy much of the fleet if I am not mistaken.

Iran plays down Gulf incident with US (AP)

President Bush to speak on the Economy shortly!
Deck-mounted .50 M2s, Mk19Mod3s, and 20/30mms.
A couple five inch shells going over the bow might impress these warriors.
The commander of that Navy group should have cranked up the CIWIS and turned them into confetti. Those boats were allowed to get way too close. If they’d had torpedoed and the intent to fire them, we’d have three sunk ships.
Yup. Just another variant on their suicide-attack mode of operation.
Anything becomes a propaganda victory for them. Taunting us and getting away with it, obviously a victory; taunting us and getting blown up, a victory too, because they would then say that we were the evil aggressors.
BREAKING
something about a couple Navy jets down in Gulf.
“It looks like we’ve got us a war, A gut-busting, mother loving Navy War”
Of course going up against the Iranian Navy the Navy War would be over very quickly.
i SUPPOSE it is what Ahmanutjob wants . . . along with satan . . .
but . . . a big part of me says . . .
BLOW EM OUT OF THE WAY into such small pieces even the fish have a hard time finding them to eat.
While he is on the economy maybe he can explain how he keeps letting Iran and Pakistan poke us in the eye with no return action which drives up oil prices every time they do something provocative?
That’s why I said similar, not the same as. Unless they actually fire upon or touch one of our vessels, they will scream American aggressors if we fire first, regardless of whether true or not.
MSNBC is talking about the Fed and are we going into Recession.....Fox is talking about Hillary almost coming to tears in an extended Q&A Session in N.H.....
Ok so they should use one of those fire-fighting water drop buckets loaded up with rotting pig carcases and do some drops...
Won’t matter to anybody on the planet. Force is force. This isn’t some domestic disturbance.
And you would have ended up in the brig...
Right....see our MSM in action...post #55.
