Iran Sticks Their Fleet In Our Eye

I'm disgusted by the sad irony of our having lifted many sanctions on Iran, only to have them send some of their rust-bucket fleet to our shores. Not only is the response of our government to that ungrateful provocation deafening by its silence, but I wonder where the pundits are.

I have this image of the Iranian naval commander, Ahmed the Dead Admiral, standing on the poop deck and screaming: "I keel haul you! I keel haul you!"

Has the US become the Rodney Dangerfield of the world?
