Thankfully, we have a chief executive with the right skills for this situation, as well as experience tested under actual battle conditions!
If memory serves, he already has a dozen or more apologies under his belt.
He’ll know just what to do...

if you come that close to a US Navy ship you are be definition a threat and can be shot
I am 100% certain they spent a lot of time frantically trying to signal them and contact them before shooting at them
Too bad for them, but if you are too stupid to know not to approach a US Navy Ship then you are better off dead anyway

Captain's discretion.
If he thinks it's a threat, it dies.
Just letting the Iranian rowboat navy know, 'Don't **** with me"

Was the American vessel military or an American flagged commercial vessel?

One of two things is likely to happen:
Either Obama will publicly state the Captain "acted stupidly," as he charged in the Cambridge Police/Henry Gates incident, or the Captain will quietly resign/retire under duress.

>> Obama will publicly state the Captain “acted stupidly,”
What if the captain was a woman? Or, even more of a challenge for The One, a *lesbian*?
That would be the mother of all cognitive dissonance triggers.

Not sure those are armed well enough to sink a 30ft boat.
I’m pretty sure they’re not *supposed* to be, anyway.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but it appears to have been a US Naval vessel.

Oops, I meant Muzzies. I guess reading the whole article before posting helps.

They are. US flagged tankers and container ships who operate in that region have security teams on board.
