#1 this will never make it too MSM. Hell they haven't even gave an estimate on how many ppl got killed in the FLA pileup yesterday, but let a troop cut his finger in iraq and they would be surfing the web on what charges too bring him up on

#2 Good video to disprove an event is not an Iranian strongpoint.

#3 LIkely the video is intended primarily for non-American consumption. They know we know what happened.

#4 Hey, Guys,
I can't see the number on the hull of the cruiser, but the big 70 I on the side of the second ship is on a DDG, USS Hopper. The ships shown in order are an FFG, DDG an finally the cruiser. Maybe someone else can see the hull number on the cruiser better than I can and can let us know what it is.

#7 dealing with middle easterners is like dealing with lying children. They have cherry all over their face and hands as they insist they didn't eat that pie. They think they are clever and that you are fooled. The only thing that prevents them for getting whipped is the kindness of adults.

#11 REALCLEARPOLITICS > WSJ - IRAN'S PROVOCATION. Nutshell - Author argues that IRAN had better remember America has a long history of naval conflicts or wars flaring up becuz of incidents like this one, espec where major or impor free trade/commerce routes are involved. America historically is not afraid to send its navy = wage war whether its a world power or not. AUTHOR - THE WORLD = US-IRAN TRULY CAME CLOSE TO WAR THIS PAST SUNDAY.
