Who can say that war is not fast approaching? Iran doesn’t fear us—for good reason. Even if they sink a carrier and send 1,000 seamen to Davy Jones Locker— Obama will say its a mistake or a video caused it or Bush. He would offer to give them money to offset the costs of bullets, bombs and torpedoes they spent to sink the ship. Then perhaps the Joint Chiefs would pull him from power and appoint President Petraus (until free elections could be held) —He would demand the Iranians disarm or face nukes—they would refuse—and he would turn them to glass. He would be elected by GOP with Cruz as VP. Hillary and Bill would be jailed.

Since Russia is a close ally of Iran, this incident has wider implications than just a minor event involving a few ships on the high seas.

For all we know, Russia instigated this provocation against the U.S. Navy and its naval personnel might even have manned the Iranian ship in question. And now that Russia knows how simple it is to make Obama back down, we can likely expect more such incidents.

Why, Vladimir Putin must be asking himself, spend so much Russian blood and treasure trying to take over a mere second-rate country like Ukraine when it can take over the entire Persian Gulf and its vital shipping lanes without firing a shot?

It is funny. I’ll bet B-52 bombers from 60,000 could slow them down.

Of course we could send out F-18’s but why bother....

"An Iranian naval fleet chased a U.S. warship and military planes through the waters off the southern coast of Yemen late Monday in yet another provocative encounter between the two nations, according to Iranian state media reports."

Or maybe it's total horseshit.

And these are the people he seeks to negotiate a treaty with? I am sure things will be so much nicer once they have a nuke capability.

It’s shameful. They know Obama is their man and our ships will never fire on them no matter what they do.

They have to call 0bama and see if they can act like bosses or cowards.

That photograph says it all. I’ve had my doubts about which way this guy swings, but this picture, assuming its not photoshopped, removes all doubt.
