I assume our pirate is there to back down Egypt and the Saudis from intercepting and inspecting Iran's cargo ships. What if they try? I don't know how their naval assets on site stack up against an Iranian destroyer, but I suspect they can deal with the situation from the air in any circumstance. And Egypts navy is the largest in the region, including several subs, but don't know what they sent. I suspect the Saudi/Egyptian, UAE forces could handle it. If we aren't preempting their inspections, why are we there. Do we want the rebels rearmed?

Good questions one and all. We should either be elsewhere or do something.
