Iranian Navy threatens U.S. ships
    #7843405 -

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/01/07/iran.us.navy/index.html

Quote:
Five Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats "harassed and provoked" three U.S. Navy ships early Sunday in international waters, the U.S. military said Monday, calling the encounter a "significant" confrontation.


Quote:
The U.S. Navy also received a radio transmission that officials believe came from the Iranian boats. The transmission said, "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes," the U.S. military officials told CNN.




.. probably trying to coerce the U.S. ships into firing on them so they can look like innocent little victims.

Or perhaps the Bush admin is trying to create an incident.

They certainly don't have a history of clean hands when it comes to rationales for war.

Who said that was a conclusion? Did he not say perhaps? What is your conclusion from the incident? This administration has constantly twisted the thruths to further their needs and when "unnamed" sources are quoted I start smelling bullshit. Where is a copy of the radio transmission? Where are the white boxes? Surely the Navy took one as evidence. Its always best to doubt what the government says, do you not agree?

or, maybe it's best to doubt the intentions of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. could go either way.

Well no shit its best to doubt the IRG, but does that mean that you should automatically become a lap dog for the government? Both groups are full of bullshit, why not think for yourself and see it all?

Exactly what I thought when I first heard it. Does anyone know what the Iranians say about this?

A single soldier with a machine gun can't start a war. Commanders are the ones who decide to press a charge. If the higher ups wanted to start a war, there would be one.

Well some soldiers in Lebanon kidnapped a isreali soldier and it started a very large war over that one soldier, I think you stand corrected.

World War I was also catalyzed by a pretty insignificant person in other respects.

Is it hard to comprehend the word "perhaps"?

Personally, anytime either side speaks I go for my bullshit detector.

For example, world war one was caused by a single assassination.

I don't know off the top of my head any single person with a gun starting a war though, I mean, without assassinating someone really important.

Patrolling international waters is hardly looking for trouble.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
