One Saudi tanker damaged, one Panamanian tanker
sunk by Iran and Iraq respectively. . .I think
a surgical strike on the 50 planes of Iran, paid 
for by the CIA covertly (so the world would know 
WE did it) and executed by the Israelies (so it
would be successful) could make the Ayya ho-meany
cool his jets. . .

Of course, a few F14's from the kitty hawk could do
the job, but we all know what happens to election
year presidential b*lls. . .

Iraq would be warned also from the action to avoid
making it a wider conflict (ie., drawing other
powers in). Iraq is only doing tanker warfare to get
some external action since Iran appears ready to
trounce Iraq on the land.
