Iran should have been bombed into the stone age years ago.

No wait, they are already living in the stone age. Only now they have nuclear capabilities.

He only fulfills the provocative title in the closing sentence: “If all that fails, we should consider a blockade of Iranian ports.”

He doesn't address that a blockade of Iran would cause a huge increase in the price of oil and a severe Depression.

[poodle]

Blocking ports would be an act of war, not that I expect much of anyone to take an academic view. Iran has legitimate right to develop nuclear power and they do not have an enrichment program that can develop weapons grade material. Do a search and learn what disinfo is.

In other words, instead of complying with international requests to stand down, Iran has decided to step up efforts to enrich uranium, which, despite the government's denial, is all but certainly intended for a bomb.

"If Iran Refuses To Cooperate, Block Its Ports"

Better yet, bomb its oil production and shipping facilities. Then start manufacturing useful products in the USA. Or wait for the big default, and start manufacturing useful products in the USA. Or cut government spending by about 50%, allow the globalist house of cards to fall due to the market consequences of trade imbalances. And start manufacturing useful products in the USA. ;-)

Until then, there won't be much in the way of personal spending or voting. ;-)

We definetly have a plan to block the ports...Not that hard...

But most of this stuff can be transported by air, and some land routes if they are that bold...

The problem is they and the rest of the wourld know we will not do this because of the feckless leadership we have in this country...We are not immediately at risk by Iran...Some would dissagree, and thats ok, but the folks who ARE at immediate risk are Iran’s nieghbors and Israel...Plain and simple...

So to blockaid their ports you have to have the resolve to open fire on the ever annoying Iranian Revolutionary Guards naval units...They will certainly have a problem with anyone doing this, and yet I do not believe a blockaid will be anything but a spineless political bluff that will be called at the first utterance...

Nice try Obama, but it must really suck to know that your own citizens don’t even believe you...
