“Nods” aimed in the wrong direction this time, gents. I just woke to this story this morning on the radio, and this site is the first link I’m reading on it.

From what I heard on FOx News on my radio the Iranian ships had dropped “multiple boxes” into the water near our ships.

IF THAT IS the case … as a ship’s commander, THAT’s where I give the order to “open fire” …

Have we learned NOTHING from the USS Cole?

In the event warning shots were fired, Iran would have immediately gone to their propaganda machine crying, "The great Satan shot at us in our waters and we were doing nothing wrong."
