johncomicI see in some online news that little Iranian boats are buzzing and harassing the US Navy. "The incident ought to remind us all just how real is the threat posed by Iran and just how ready we are to meet that threat if it comes to it," Adm. Mike Mullen — chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — said.
After the fiasco of the evaporating Iraqi WMD, I wouldn't be at all shocked to see such Iranian "aggression" touted as a rationale to invade -- only to have it turn out that the little boats weren't a threat after all, it was a "misunderstanding" or a "failure of intelligence". Surely I'm not the only one who has been led to feel that the American administration is getting itchy to invade Iran, for whatever reason[s]... if I felt like getting really paranoid, I could wonder if these little boats are actually Iranian, or merely made to appear Iranian.
Whatever, I don't like it.

Nothing wrong with being paranoid.
