1) How do you "shoot down" a boat?
What direction do boats go, when you shoot holes in them, in the middle of a sea?

Why not address the Russian fighters that have been harassing military aircraft?
So you want him to shoot down Russian planes as well?

USS Cole was an Al Qaeda attack. Iran, while not the brightest bulb of the bunch, is smart enough to not kick the hornet's nest.

Non-state actors do things that Iran would never do,

Why are we policing these waters? We give enough money to the Saudis and the iraquis and everyone surrounding it that they should start protecting it themselves. Should be nothing more than a business transaction. Stop the money and let them blow each other up. Supply will get back to where it should be. That is the risk you take drilling overseas. There is plenty of OG stateside.

Doesn't matter. They let a foreign Navy board and capture an American warship and its crew. This should never happen, regardless of where it occurs.

I was an adult then. I'm not saying to let them get that close. I understand they got very close the other day. However, these are not terrorists. That I s not their goal.

that is not the point, the idea a fiberglass small boat poses no threat is false. Cole attack is exactly the example used. The President is correct, the threat is probably enough to back off these idiots, but sending one or two to Davy Jone's locker will get the point across.

It's not the small boats that are an issue.
Their little gunboats aren't being driven around by suicidal jihadis.
It's the is it worth it to escalate this dick measuring contest they already lost for Iranians to attempt to seize control of the waters with Russian and Chinese anti-ship missiles.
And that's when things get dicey.

No. Are you suggesting we shoot the child?
I asked if we should ignore it. Try again.
Do you see a child and an Iranian naval craft acting in an aggressive manner as being the same?
