"The assembly off Iran’s coast is largest since the 2003 Iraq war."

"But Rear Admiral Kevin Quinn, leading the group, said the ships would start conducting exercises after passing through the straits as part of a long-planned effort to reassure nearby countries of U.S. commitment to regional security."

Now just exactly who has been the biggest threat to security in the area? Well, it wasn't Saddam - no weapons. It wasn't Iran, wasn't raising hell. Wasn't Syria, Jordan, or Saudi Arabia. (Even though it was Saudis financed with Saudi money who were responsible for 9-11, that wasn't in the Middle East.

Wasn't Afghanistan, or the Taliban. Wasn't al-Qaeda.

It was Cheney/Bush, wasn't it. Destablilized the place all to hell.

And is continuing to do so, in the Newspeak, doublespeak name of "regional security".

It truly is funny.
