If the Marines leave the ship that would indicate something....otherwise ...not that big of a deal at present.

And even if they where to leave the ship it still is no big deal. Why can't they have patrols set up to police their areas of the port to protect their assets. I have no problem with that particular type action taken on their port.
Of course we know, :) there will be other things that will take place. Under the proper order, I can envision Syrian forces destroying say a lot of things that might be found in the Beka Valley. Don't want anyone eventually coming in and verifying the type of wmd that where herded out of Iraq as we where invading by the Russians.
