That’s what I was thinking, too. Under a hundred, maybe.

Iran just wants higher oil prices to line their pockets and this prattle gets it for a while.

They tried in in 1987 and the 5th fleet put a hurting on their behinds. We convoyed tankers then and can again. But then again we had Reagan in the White House, now we have “can we please have our drone back” in charge...

Actually this is Ahmedinijad taking advantage of Obama’s weak posturing while begging for our drone back.

Plus he knows that O won't do anything about the drone or the straits..

There are no navy skippers left. obambi has been getting them all relieved for being insensitive. 22 so far this year.

He wants to make sure he fills all the senior military slots with politically-reliable types before 2012.

Yes, “Really”. Those members of the National Guard would dispute your claim that they aren’t part of the military.
