Shouldn’t this be coming from the Dept of State?
I was about 8 when we had the Suez Crisis. I decided way back then that the Arab world was insane...and nothing has come about to change my mind.
This would be more convincing if it came from the White Hut, and not from the fleet.
Any takers on when THAT announcement will ever be made? Anyone?
Commander Frost will soon be demoted and ozero will apologize.
America the Stupid is going to get checkmated real soon.
But hey, at least we have green energy and SMRT cars DUUUUR HUUUURRR!
I have no doubts that the U.S. Navy could handle the situation and wipe out the the Iranian navy in days, if not hours.
But if the Iranians sink just a couple of tankers in the region, the shock-waves will be felt worldwide anyway.
But my biggest doubt is that 0bama would permit the Navy to act decisively, rapidly..
Or he might over-react and do something REALLY stupid hoping to usher in the 12th Imam.
This should be coming from the CIC or the state dept.
Hey Derrick....take a look at news ...the Turks are shelling the international sea boundary between Israel and Cyprus....which happens to be on top of a huge gas/oil deposit...
What you gonna do about that eh..?
What a great time to block the Keystone XL pipeline Barack!!
I must have heard wrong . . . on Fox they said oil could approach 300.00 a barrel. Oh yeah. And no Keystone pipleline? Bring it on Nutjob. Let’s see what Zero has when it comes to Texas Hold ‘Em. Oh I forgot, he is busy snorkeling and playing golf in HI.
Iran's vice president would never had made such a statement if he wasn't convinced that the Obama administration was weak and cowardly. The CIC and the State Department have failed to stand up to Iran. It was left to a naval officer to fill the vacuum.
The appeasement and weakness of the Obama Administration only encourages bad behavior by our enemies.
But some in our government do not think Iran is our enemy. We will end up paying dearly for their stupidity.
It looks like someone accidentally put a real leader in charge while the entire Obama Administration is away on vacation.
I am not concerned about this issue or the possibility of $300BBL oil, because Obama has no doubt prepared our country for such events.
Obama’s energy policy will get us through this, in the same way he has taken care of us with his ground breaking policies on our economy.
Hang on, the democrats will save us......
See, there’s nothing to worry about.
The US Navy is gonna shoot these 2 out to “Un-Plug” the “Straight of Hormuz”:

If he has the patience to wait until the EPA and Democrat Party has worked its poison through the United States of America, he will not have to do anything. We will be in the same condition financially as Britian. Someone posted that servicing out national debt now or will require 41cents of every dollar. That leaves 59 cents. I have no doubt that the Democrats, with Republican help intend to use every one of the 59 cents.
