Obama unveiled a new military strategy with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. In a provocative comment, Panetta invoked the ongoing dispute with Iran over the Straight of Hormuz in discussing the prospect of military action abroad.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: “The nature of warfare today is that as you—as you engage, you have to look at how you do it, what forces do you use to be able to confront that enemy, what exactly is involved. I mean, the reality is, you could face a land war in Korea and at the same time face threats in the Straights of Hormuz. We have the capability, with this joint force, to deal with those kinds of threats, to be able to confront them, and to be able to win. That’s what counts.”
