We're basically waiting for another USS Cole. I think that is the bigger mistake.

To illustrate my point, I'll refer to a line I heard in The Recruit. A pair of assassins had missed their target. One was frustrated. The other said "they have to win every time, we just have to win once".

Our destroyers are downing any drones sent after them. But we have to win all the time. The Houthis only have to win once, and we have another USS Cole incident.

I'm not the least bit concerned about the Iranian air force or navy. As I said, we could neutralize both in a day. Then how are they going to harass the Gulf? With their large army? Not a threat at sea.
