    The boats are quite small compared to the gigantic U.S. warships. The video does not imply a looming threat as there were not shots fired by the Iranian boats. Boats and ships are two different images.

    I agree the boats were small, so were the boats that attacked the Cole.

    No shots were fired at the Cole before a hole was blown into the side of it.

    Bombing isn't a solution. You need to cut the head of the beast.
