nookie23 saidWell if the dems would let the military do their job and not butt in we might. There is too much stopping the military from going and killing the people they have too. But no , now we can not even wire tap with our a warrent, cant waterboard to get information out of someone, cant do anything with out the likes of Nancy Pelosi, and her democrat house stopping us from doing what we need to do.
nookie23 saidAfter hearing the message, these fast boats played while buzzing the war ships. I now wish we would of blown them out of the water. Even though we did the right thing. It just sucks that Iran is taunting us this way. They just want us to start something.
...
OMG your one of those types that think 9-11 was caused by the US. We should of blown those boats out of the water. And said Fck you to Iran, show them who is the real Super Power in the world.
The Raw StoryAn American journalist and historian (Gareth Porter) who was the first to break the story of a secret Iranian peace overture to the Bush Administration in 2006 alleges that the latest Pentagon encounter between Iranian ships and a Navy vessel was a deliberate fabrication.
How the Pentagon planted a false story
By Gareth Porter
WASHINGTON - Senior Pentagon officials, evidently reflecting a broader administration policy decision, used an off-the-record Pentagon briefing to turn the January 6 US-Iranian incident in the Strait of Hormuz into a sensational story demonstrating Iran's military aggressiveness, a reconstruction of the events following the incident shows.
The initial press stories on the incident, all of which can be traced to a briefing by deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs in charge of media operations, Bryan Whitman, contained similar information that has since been repudiated by the navy itself.
Iran showdown has echoes of faked Tonkin attack
Nick Juliano
A dramatic showdown at sea. Crossed communication signals. Apparently-hostile craft nearby. Sketchy intelligence leading to ratcheted up rhetoric.
The similarities between this week's confrontation between US warships and Iranian speedboats and events off the coast of North Vietnam 44 years ago were too hard for many experts to miss, leading to the question: Is the Strait of Hormuz 2008's Gulf of Tonkin?
On Aug. 2nd and 4th, 1964, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy, patrolling off the North Vietnamese coast, intercepted signals indicating they were under attack. Within days, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which paved the way to the escalation of the Vietnam War. However, as some intelligence agents suspected at the time, the Aug. 2nd attack took place after the USS Maddox fired first, according to a National Security Agency report released in 1995.
This week another NSA report surfaced, confirming suspicions that the Aug. 4th attack never happened.
