Bush's criticism of Iran came Wednesday during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem. Bush is in the region to encourage the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
Bush called the incident "a very dangerous gesture" by Iran and warned the Islamic republic against any escalation.
"We have made it very clear, and they know our position, and that is: There will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure and simple."
"My advice to them is: Don't do it."
Earlier in the day, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said the Sunday incident in the Strait of Hormuz almost triggered an exchange of fire -- and if it happens again there may be a battle.

Navy wants fake blood tested on ER patients

Substitute, made from cow blood, urgently needed on battlefield in places like Iraq, a Navy official told federal advisers Thursday.
The Navy wants to test the product, derived from cow blood, on roughly 1,100 trauma victims in emergency situations. It proposes doing so without obtaining the customary informed consent of patients in advance.
Yikes! This is a tough one! While I agree that if a blood "substitue" will save our wounded..how great! To use this on people without their consent? Well now, that's a whole other issue isn't it? Catch-22?
