“Martine Corps Gen. Paul Van Riper”
“Martine” Corps? (Note to the president-the ‘s’ is silent).

This is so silly. With Obama in office, there a better chance of us attacking Canada, than there is of us attacking Iran. Iran could develop a nuke, and destroy Israel without Obama doing so much as sending a strongly worded letter.

If Bush or a republican had come out with some of the dim wit comments like bozo has then they would have been on comedy night and the MSM for months

Military experts say the Fifth Fleet has come a long way since
Iranian gunboats crippled it within hours in a notorious war game five years ago. LOL, leave it to the WaPo to put this in the very first line of the article.

To: screaminsunshine
Yup. Plan A was to turn the country against conservatives and TEA Partiers (overlap), maybe forment a little violence, maybe have a Reichstag fire, and use the crisis to subvert the 2010 election. Plan A is failing. Miserably.
Plan B? Hit Iran in October. After all, they’re Shia/Shi’ite. As a Sunni symp at the least, he’d have zero (pun intended) qualms about doing so. (Indonesia muslims are mostly Sunni).

Navy now has the MK 182, the mother of all shotgun shells, fired by 5-inch guns deployed on every major ship in the fleet Yep, a completely "new" idea.
Somehow, "give them a whiff of the MK 182" doesn't have quite the same poetry.

But the Navy now has the MK 182, the mother of all shotgun shells, fired by 5-inch guns deployed on every major ship in the fleet, says Pike.Depends on the rules of engagement whether they'd be used. Can't offend those muzzie voters in Michigan you know.
To: piytar
You got it. Think the worst of Obama and you will be correct every time. He is that bad.
To: sonofstrangelove
The MSM loves to taunt the US military for every failure—possibly the only part of government whose failures they ever point out.
Except that it wasn’t a failure. They have wargames precisely so that weaknesses can br found. Which is exactly what happened here.

Exactly. I will not support any foreign intervention by this administration.
The moron RNC and it's lemming followers made that mistake in 1998.
