that no administration understands shipping, but particularly this "maladministration."

Senator Gary Peters said the same thing he's saying: navigating the strait should have been figured out before they started the bombing. There is not enough of a presence to escort ships through--neither by air or by sea. Iran doesn't want it closed--they have their own oil they need to get out.

I liked this guy. I think he's unassuming and knows a great deal about shipping.
