The Navy is doubling our minesweepers in the Persian Gulf to 8 and also sending in more mine hunting helicopters.
The Navy is also refitting the USS Ponce to deploy to the Persian Gulf to be a full time Mine Warfare Command Ship.
These are expensive complicated deployments and are described as “setting the theater” to counter any potential Iranian threat. Hmmm.

And now the French election and the possible breakup of the Eurozone.
Oh,...and this morning we have Wal Mart bribing officials in Mexico,
