Thanks for pointing that out, the newscaster gave it out as the Iranian Sea.............its the Persian Gulf. I believe that the Canadian contingent will be spot checking civilian vessels as part of the blockade. I was making light of the Canadian participation in the sand-box area. They do an excellent job with limited and outdated equipment. The last thing I want is to start a slanging match with our Canadian allies, even though the Canadian Government refused to help its brothers in arms when the poop hit the fan.
