#1 This semlls like a test to me. I don't think it would be wise to let this go unchallenged.

#2 Push a little along the disputed border and see what Washington does. Classic move by the mullahs. We did very little when they occupied several islands in the eastern Gulf years ago, and some abandoned oil platforms. One main reason the Gulf States formed their own little army. They could see Iran hop scotching across the Gulf.

#3 Don't we have a couple of boat loads of leftover Iraqi underwater mines? Be a shame if a few of those got loose in Iranian waters.

#4 "US Navy soldiers drove the boats to Kuwait."

Does "US Navy soldiers" = "US Marines"?

#5 Perhaps a misplaced missile or two need to be sent easterly from Iraq. A lesson must be delivered on this

#6 Definitely. Time to do some leaning. "Oh, sorry, was that your patrol boat our cruiser ran over? So anyway, here's your crew back...."

#7 If I was an Iran Air pilot, I wouldn't deviate a whole lot from my flight plan. Never know what you could be mistaken for.
