No, I am not falling for that again.

None of this makes any sense at any level.

Do you mean to tell me the United States Navy, in the Persian Gulf with the sole mission of protecting shipping in the gulf, saw an Iranian ship attack a oil tanker and.... They did nothing?

None of this makes any sense. Why would Iran want to bomb a tanker? Why would Iran physically attach mines to a ship when they could have used more modern weapons? Why would they return to the scene of the crime to remove a mine? Why didn't the United States Navy take action?
