| #6 I forsee a board game called "Glass". You just sit around it, stare at the board that's nothing but a flat piece of glass, and wonder what the Iranian leadership was thinking right before they were vaporized. |

| #5 The game, "Counter Strike", invites players to plant two bombs on the oil tanker to sink it and make the strait of Hormuz impassable, Will this be followed by "Gasoline Refinery Tycoon" wherein the players try to build enough refining capacity to keep the economy from cratering after gasoline imports thru the now closed straits are cut off? BTW, there is already an on-line multi-player game called "Counter Strike". |

| #4 I was under the impression that except for fleet oilers the US doesn't really have that many tankers, or much of a merchant marine. It was one of the first industries to be outsourced. |

| #3 Thing is, it won't be a U.S. tanker. But the rest of scenario is plausible. Won't stop aircraft or cruise missiles, tho. |

| #2 It doesn't sound like a very difficult game. I wonder how realistic the virgins are. |

| #1 No big deal. The US military has many variations of computer games that let folks blow up any number of different Iranian targets. The difference is that the only way these bozos can think to do this is by sneaking around. No stand-up fighters these. |
