Joseph Catron: "It's actually an act of war against the United States, which flagged and registered two of the attacked ships:"

And Greece, and Ireland... there were, what, eight ships in the flotilla?

If they attacked US-flagged ships, to me, it's another indicator they got a US OK (although reports so far are saying Israel only attacked the lead ship).

I believe the lead ship was Turkish-flagged; beyond that, probably more importantly, the Turkish government has staked a lot, diplomatically, on this mission.
