At 500yds they have been in range for 1000yds maybe more.

Poor dumb bastages.

Which would you rather be, an Iranian speed boat commander
or a Iraqi tank commander...?

A few years ago my daughter was on a DDG in that area and when I asked her about the Iranians and wasn't she worried?

She referred me to think about the article that National Lampoon did (several years back) as to what various small countries (like Iran) will do if we piss them off. And she shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
Then said that story said it all.
And laughed again.

Find the story and read it as it is very funny as applies here. It involves Iran hooking their 14's to Dodge Power wagons, towing the F14's to the gulf and firing a few air to air missiles at our Carriers several hundred miles off shore.

If you can not find it trust me it is funny!

He wants to kill over 80K military jobs ...

Want in one hand, s#!t in the other...see which one fills up first.

Obama can't kill a single military job. Congress has to do that. Of course with the nutless wonders we have in charge now, I don't know...

Much more fun to give them a “squirt” from a 20mm Phalanx, though... ‘-)

I just had a disturbing thought- what if we blast an Iranian boat out of the water at some point, due to some aggresive action on the Iranian side, and Obama apologizes?

Thanks Hunton Peck.
Iranian ships recently taunted two U.S. Navy vessels...
That'll be something to tell their grandchildren. Y'know, hypothetically.

So, the real question, how does this affect the value of the dollar?

If they load those speed boats with explosive and try to detonate it next to one of our ships... I wonder how close obummer has ordered that they be to fire upon?
