This is supposedly an exercise to PRACTICE closing the Strait of Hormuz - a crucial bottleneck for oil tankers heading for the Arabian Sea. It's 1 - a bluff, and 2 - another attempt to show what a weak president Obama is. That's easy to do - however, Obama has reduced our naval forces to such a degree that we may not have the ability to UNBLOCK Hormuz if this exercise becomes a fait accompli (BTW - we've lost ANOTHER drone - I assume Obama will be asking for THIS ONE back shortly - Obama stupidly didn't go after the first one - or order it destroyed.... oh, well)

Having made the above comment - if Iran SHOULD close Hormuz, there would be war within 72 hours. Pleasant thought, isn't it?
