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.

I live here right on the eastern waterfront in Bahrain. I hope no Iranian missiles start flying through my windows.

Looks like a civilian ship, virtually defenseless, does not look like a military ship at all. Interesting.

How do you ignore a fifty caliber burst across your bow? Very odd stuff going on, on the same day Iran bombs a bus load of Jewish tourists in a foreign country.
