Even without thess "gee whiz" weapons, the Straits of Hormuz are an obvious strategic choke point, easily controlled by Iran.

Obviously, if they are so inclined, they can plug that channel and no amount of US "Shock and awe" will open it.

The problem remains the ignorant SOB's we have calling the shots on our behalf.

They have learned nothing and will continue to sacrifice American blood and treasure to try and do the undoable.

Iran is a problem for the world in general and the oil based mideast in particular.

It is incumbent on the oil producing states to figure out how to control their Persian brothers, even with the co-operation of Israel if possible.

They are looking at financial ruin if the channel is closed.

We are looking at higher gas prices.

Whose job is it to assure the "gee whiz" stuff is neutralized?
