My emotional thrust was that we should have vaporized the Iranian Terrorist Navy. yet that is what those @#$%^ buggers really wanted, an incident. I wonder if we were not embroiled in Iraqistan would we have played sunk and dunk with the Irainian Navy PT boats !

Does anyone else wonder about that?

I am amazed they where allowed that close!

AFAIK they pretty much carried out an attack pattern..dropped white boxes in the water near the US ships..iow a training exercise but with another nations ships as play targets.





Bush has made it pretty clear that if they do it again the Admiral or whomever has authority to blow them away.

You're adorable, f100. You think just because you want to blow some Iranians out of the water, we'll think you're getting nice. It's OK. I promise I won't.

They were trying to provoke a confrontation. The purpose would be that if the US offed a few of them, The lib press in the US would say something like "US-Iranian Naval Battle", which would be goosing the large appeaser bloc. Then like sock puppets, they'd start squeeling against war with Iran again, regurgitate more paranoid Bush fantasies, etc etc.

Sadly for the families of those who would be lost I really don't think America would or should throw the first stone in an event with a nation we are not in a publicly viewed, active, armed conflict with. (yes but we do fight Iranian fighters/terrorist in the shadows of Iraq) If something had happened I definitely think we would go after the others but the first stone would be thrown at us not by us.


Oh and did Bush really finally come out of hiding or back from vacation that he said something about it? Geez it only took him a few days to react to it. Oh but of course he was probably something like "being informed of the facts of the situation".


I guess that will count as his public address for the first half of January. Hmm. Maybe he will say something about his trip "for peace" in the Middle East when he comes back, maybe. After that he could say something about the primaries and he will be done for work until February.


Bush: "Whew, I made through January ok right? Ok lets go back to the ranch Barney!"

What I wonder is this: had we sunk them--how long would it have been before you were yelling: "that (*)(*)(*)(*)ed Bush!" My guess is about ONE second.

It was in international waters.

They didn't simply 'sail' they took actions that in the real world are considered hostile.


But let me get this right if say Canada send boats out into international waters and harasses a French Warship..its the fault of France and the French right?

After all how dare they sail to their possession of St. Pierre and Miquelon..





Or does your opinion rely soley on the USA being involved?

My bet is the latter but you will never admit it.
