Absolutely. That right to defend is part of International Law (IMO - International Maritime Organization)Originally Posted by Kathianne
as well as our Roe for defense.
Iran is not a signatory on the IMO, by the way.

This is an escalation. We never did respond to USS Cole.

Notice america, and all americans.
The day the USS Cole was bombed that killed 17 Americans, and EVERY attack on any U.S.NAVY ship is......"AN ACT OF WAR" against the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Bill Clinton did nothing in 2000, and Obama is showing exactly what Hillary WON'T do if she somehow becomes the CIC.
I learned, during my SHORT 30 years in the Navy, and during TWO WARS, THAT Any attack on a SHIP OF THE UNITED STATES.....IS AN ACT OF WAR.
U.S. Navy ships are treated, and recognized just as U.S. States are recognized.
OUR PEOPLE in uniform are prevented from DEFENDING their ships by the WUSSIES in Washington.

So, this is for them.

By not firing back, we're just guaranteeing that more ships will get fired on, possibly with massive casualties. And, of course, all the bad guys in the world get emboldened against the USA. Obama needs to grow a spine.

Worms do not have spines, Russ!
Even a CWIZ can decimate a gunboat, as can a .25mm deck gun.

Russ. AGREED on Obama. Our navy has the instant power, and protection to destroy everything those idiots shoot, or throw at us.
The major problem is....OUR Rules of Engagement (ROE). Obama, and Congress are afraid some of Obama's Muslim Brotherhood friends might get hurt if OUR NAVY responds in kind.
Remember? We have been at WAR....legally since the 1st Gulf War. There was never any TREATY signed at the end of Operation Desert Storm. http://www.history.com/topics/persian-gulf-war
THAT'S A FACT. And when Clinton did nothing but sick the Justice Dept/FBI on whoever bombed the U.S.S. Cole instead of declaring a LEGAL, and INTERNATIONALLY Sanctioned Response.
That was when OBL grew his new set of BALLS...and Obama just played with his.

Actually, taking out the command and control system (radar sites) is pretty effective .... that's where the "smart guys" live. The rest are just cannon fodder....
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
