DRAMA ON THE HIGH SEAS

So here we all sit with our eyes glued to the tube or the Internet, watching and waiting for the latest tidbit of news about our aircraft carrier and accompanying cruisers who are tagging along close behind nine Iranian ships which are supposedly loaded with arms and heading for the Hoothis in Yemen.  What in the world is going to happen?  

Well, we all know deep down in our hearts what is most likely to happen: the Iranians are going to end up docking and off-loading their cargo and the Hoothis are going to take possession of whatever it is.  If there's going to be any real action, it'll most likely be the Saudi Arabians bombing the hell out of the cargo after it is off-loaded, or maybe the Egyptians boarding the Iranian vessels for an inspection.  

I don't think the Iranians are going to turn around and head home.  They know, deep down in their hearts, that we won't fire on them.  Now, they may be scared of the Saudi's or the Egyptians, but they most certainly have no reason to fear us.  I'll bet Obama's last nickle that none of our ships will ever fire off even a round of BB gun ammo.  

Complicating matters, of course, is the absolute probability that at least one, if not two or three, Russian missile-carrying nuclear submarines are in the immediate vicinity. 

And Obama says the world is more safe now, under his leadership, than ever before.
