The explanation seemed perfectly straightforward to me. Or do you have a problem with any criticism of the Navy? Lex, thanks for the link, as I had never heard of this operation before. I'm very surprised considering the size of Praying Mantis. Considering the date, I suppose the MSM was obsessing over the election and Iran-Contra then. What, Jim?

I mean 6 trawlers would not be something to be feared. Does the Iranian navy even have 6 seaworthy surface ships anymore, with a range outside 600 nms from homeport? I mean that would actually be something, wouldn't it? Having targets that far out to sea and sort of, mostly, in fact, completely vulnerable to US warships and Somali pirates with RPGs and all. Why I'll bet the cruise ships' fire hose brigades wouldn't even make those 6 "ships" crews" flinch. Would they? I'd love to see the Somali pirates and the Iranian navy do a little dance together before both get sent to the fish with Davy Jones.

This is another probe for weakness, and alas, they will find it. When they find it, they will drive through it, just as other evil people have done in the past when they found weakness. Will Obama stand up and do what is needed. We won't know until the time comes, but I would bet against him doing what needs to be done. People, such as the Mullahs, always probe.

The last Iranian vessel the pirates confiscated held chemicals that at first made them sick and ended up killing most of them. Illicit chemicals for weapons, scheduled to be delivered to the Islamic jihad forces in Somalia, via that toilet Eritrea. Iran can't have the pirates seizing such vessels and exposing Iran's chemical weapons violations and proxy-terrorism to the light of day! No surprise, this.
