The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman came about 1,500 yards from an Iranian rocket in the Strait of Hormuz last week, two U.S. military officials told NBC News on Tuesday.

As the Truman was transiting the strait, which connects the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, Iranian Revolutionary Guards conducted a live-fire exercise right near the U.S. carrier Saturday, officials said.

A U.S. military official said an Iranian navy fast and short attack craft began conducting a live-fire exercise at the same time the carrier was nearing the end of the strait, firing off several unguided rockets. A French frigate, the U.S. destroyer USS Buckley and other commercial traffic were also in the area.

The official said the U.S. ships were in the "internationally recognized maritime traffic lane" at the time, not in any territorial waters, when the Iranian navy announced over maritime radio that it was about to conduct a live-fire exercise and asked other vessels to remain clear.

15. The U.S. neo-con war has positioned the U.S. military--

---including, of course, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. forces--throughout this tinderbox region of the planet. The situation is made-to-order for more war.

I'm reminded of Vietnam and the manufactured incident in the Gulf of Tonkin that resulted in more than 55,000 U.S. soldier deaths, and the deaths of 2 million Southeast Asians. The CIA, or some cabal within the U.S. military that wants another big war, have plenty of opportunity to create one right now. The warmongers simply tell big fat lies, and sometimes decades go by before "we, the people" know how we were conned.

I say we should withdraw the U.S. military from the Middle East, and let the hugely corrupt regimes of Saudi Arabia and Israel deal with their own *******ed mess. They drew us into the region in collusion with U.S. neo-cons and all the war profiteers. We should get out, now, before the inevitable happens and we get sucked into another major war. We should rely solely on diplomacy, on non-military aid where needed, and on strengthening of our own democracy and international institutions such as the U.N.--both badly, badly needed strengthenings--to help create a more peaceful world. The U.S. military will NEVER help create a more peaceful world. Its glory days as the winner of WW II are OVER. It is now merely a mercenary force, at the beck and call of unscrupulous fascists and resource thieves, with war profiteers plundering it (and us) at every turn.

A mercenary force in a tinderbox. Horrors are on-going, many of them inflicted by this mercenary force as well as by its scuttlebutt agencies (the CIA, et al). But much bigger horrors threaten.

The DUmmies have a goal of letting the Muslims finish what Hitler started.

So, the DUmmy acknowledges that Emperor Three Putt is a fascist and a thief.

At last, the blind pig found his ass with hoth hands!

I want the "con" who can instill so much piss down your leg fear into any potential enemy that they would never consider conducting a live fire exercise within a global hemisphere of any of our Military assets.  Hate to say it, no, wait, I'm proud to say that shrillery or bernie boy is not the person who will instill that kind of fear into those who wish harm against us.

This is all obumbles fault.  Obumbles has set the stage for WW3.  He will be remembered as the Neville of the 21 century.

I hope that all the libs in the big lib cities get incinerated  before America finally wakes up and realizes that the muzzies are an enemy that need to be annihilated.

Serve their ass right.
