Whatever Floats Their Boat

Iran says that they may send warships to cruise off our coast: "'Like the arrogant powers that are present near our marine borders, we will also have a powerful presence close to American marine borders,' the head of the Navy, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said, according to the official IRNA news agency."
 
To which there is but one reply: Who cares? Like they'd survive long enough to reload if they opened fire. Hey, will keep a few tug boats ready in case they make it here.
 
I also suggest the Iranians screen the crew closely since the opportunity to sail (or be towed) into one of our ports and defect might be awfully tempting.
