further disruption of global energy markets and the consumption of our own military resources

You are arguing against irrationality. Spankee doesn't give a crap about global energy markets OR use of US military resources. His ONLY objective is to LOOK STRONG and CLAIM THE WIN--regardless of the actual outcome. That is the ONLY thing he demands.

If Iran is able to attack and sink ANYTHING, Spankee will be seen as weak and ineffective. His open-ended statement about any future meetings with Iran makes him look weak because he CANNOT force Iran to do anything.

Boots on the ground? Not yet, at least. That may be 1-3 weeks off. He does NOT want yet another war associated with him. He already has his Afghanistan failure/retreat on this record.

What does he do when a Chinese oil tanker arrives at Iran with Chinese military escort ships?
