Iranians Threaten To “Blow Up” US Navy Ships In Strait Of Hormuz
Not good, and not only because the Iranians threatened the lives of some of our sailors, a clear act of aggression and war, but also because the Strait of Hormuz is the route by which Iraqi oil flows out to the rest of the world. With our mission in Iraq hinging upon that nation’s ability to get back on its feet, and with Iraq’s economy hinging on oil sales, Iran causing problems in the Strait is going to have to be dealt with.
Its Iran’s Revolutionary Guard forces that were responsible for this. Clearly Bush will need to respond, and strongly. The Iranians have before taken sailors from one of our allies hostage in those same seas. How long is the free world to suffer these acts of aggression before putting a stop to them?
Discussion question: How long until the left (and the Ron Paul wing of the right) is blaming the President, and not the Iranians, for this incident after Bush’s decision to label the Revolutionary Guard “supporters of terrorism?”
