Iran vs. US Navy

pstuart
Small Iranian fast boats swarmed around U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, and a heavily accented voice threatened, "I am coming to you ... . You will explode after ... minutes," according to a video released by the Pentagon. But the Iranian military released its own version of the video, saying the Pentagon's was a fake.

    • Spazzovision,

      Are you for REAL? First that stupid Fred Thompson compares the Iranian speedboats with terrorist suicide bombers going to meet their maker and their 72 virgins and then the Pentagon (most likely under the instruction of Dickless Cheney) first tries to fool America by imitating a middle eastern accent and the amazingly says the voices may be from some other nonrelated transmission whe they get caught faking the episode's threat level. Do the IDIOTS think we'll believe that suicide bombers actually warn their targets over the radio in enough time for those targets to blow them out of the water?

      LMAO! I will venture a guess that "Little Hitler", as you call him, has done LESS to take away the rights of Iranians than Shrub has done by using terrorism to scare us into suspending Habeus Corpus!

      I guess since they got away with the Downing Street memos and faking the WMD's, the Bushites figure they can manufacture anything and we'll cower in some corner and gladly turn over even more of our freedoms.

      George Bush and Dickless Cheney are the two worst heads of the executive branch in the nation's entire HISTORY! Oh wait, I forgot that lying S.O.B., Cheney, said he was a member of the LEGISLATIVE branch so he wouldn't have to turn over records, answer questions or testify under oath.

      What disgusting CROOKS and DICTATORS they both are! And they have absolutely no regard for the Constitution.

      Iranian Navy speedboats charging our warships in broad daylight and radioing threats on the way? Don't even think of comparing this to the Cole where the boat gave no warning and was not a NAVY vessel!

      You Republican Kool-Aid drinkers don't think things through. You just react like that jerk of a cowboy who used voter fraud in Florida to get into the White House.the first time and then fixed Ohio in the second election.

      He and Cheney are no better than pimples on the world's backside.

      It is truly a sad day that I am more apt to believe the Iranian account than the one made by our own government but past history of lying and covering up the truth is certainly a good indicator of future performance. If I were playing poker, I would be the ranch on the Iranian version simply because of years of White House scandal after secret scandal.

    • It was still a dangerous game the Iranians were playing.
      The actions of the small boats were enough to provoke a confrontation.The Iranians shouldn't be so stupid.
      Little Hilter (Ack) should try and control his people better

    • Latest news today (1/11) says the Pentagon now believes the threats may not have come from the Iranian speedboats, and possibly weren't even intended for the U.S.

      Since communication was picked up on a pretty common radio signal, "It could have been a threat aimed at some other nation or a myriad of other things," said Rear Adm. Frank Thorp IV, a spokesman for the Navy.

    • That's ridiculous. You think they'd try to take on a warship with some dinky speedboats? Even the Iranians aren't that crazy.

      Don't believe the hype.

    • Thanks for posting this, I found it very interesting. I have been following it on the news. Its nice to see a good pod done on this!! I dont know how I feel, who's right, who made what up... all I know is I dont like bush. I wouldnt put anything past him. Hes not a great public speaker. I hope to god the iranians tape is fake, I would hate to think that our country would make something up like this. We dont need a new war. But you never know. Great job!!
