US raises stakes on Iran by sending in ships and missiles which is of course a failure on the part of Obama to deter Iran in the first place. Now that he is committing the U.S., and warning Israel, who are we to understand are our allies?
The U.S. is dispatching Patriot defensive missiles to four countries – Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait – and keeping two ships in the Gulf capable of shooting down Iranian missiles. Washington is also helping Saudi Arabia develop a force to protect its oil installations. Our blood and treasure is being spent for five nations that have little in common with our long-term interests and are not our allies in any meaningful sense. Russia and China are not opposing Iran; the neighborhood should police the area themselves without us.
