Because we don’t want our Naval men and women dead.

There are mines in that water. Escorting only multiplies that risk.

This isn’t a 4-week war. We don’t get to decide that. Buckle up for the long slog.

Getting US servicemen killed for oil is a bad optic. Resistance and regime change may be slow to change , but as far as targets to destroy , in a couple of weeks there won't be any .


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
