It's a beautiful morning no mushroom clouds, slight chance of solar flares, and no Iranian para troopers falling out of the sky. So if this did happen why can't the media report on this, and if this does come out how will they spin it, that they couldn't report this in a timely fashion. ???????

US denies sea clash - ‘Iranians rescued’

KUWAIT CITY, March 6: The US Navy has denied reports that its forces fired on a boat with six Iranians onboard near Kuwaiti territorial waters on March 5, killing four, wounding one and leaving one mariner unaccounted.

The article, dated March 6 in the Arab Times, that reported the incident from an unnamed source in Al-Shahed newspaper, is unequivocally false and unfounded, according to Lt Rebecca Rebarich, Media Officer for COMUSNAVCENT, US Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain.

“The article inaccurately depicts the search and rescue mission conducted by the US Navy from March 3-4, involving the US Navy Coastal patrol boat USS Firebolt (PC10) and US Coast Guard Cutter Maui (WPB 1304) which rescued an Iranian mariner from the capsized Iranian cargo dhow Abu Al Fazel in the north Arabian Gulf who was treated for shock and hypothermia. Through Firebolt’s civilian translator, the surviving mariner relayed that at approximately 11 pm on March 2, the dhow sank due to bad weather conditions with six mariners aboard. He also confirmed that four died and one was missing. Firebolt recovered the remains of three deceased Iranian mariners in and around the lifeboat and searched for the two missing crew members with other US Navy and Coast Guard forces,” Rebarich added.

“We have confirmed with the Kuwaiti Coast Guard that there is no report of any maritime engagements or mariners in distress resembling the Arab Times article, and their operations remain normal and routine. The US Navy conducts operations in international water and space through the US Central Command area of responsibility,” Rebarich clarified.

Thats the evil reptilians running the government attacking you, they have taken control of your computer to stop your brave worm fuelled crusade against the media from your basement.

Well thats just silly, keep fish in your fish pond, what you are doing is like keeping a mole in your worm farm.
Unless of course you are sick of eating worms now and want some mole instead, but then you might want two moles so you can farm them for all of your end of the world days feasts.

I wonder if in 60 years our grand-kids will be sitting playing WW3 combat simulators? trying to immerse themselves in the reality of it all?

Heck they're doing that now.

Well I'll tell you something about World War Three, it's about as punctual as British Rail, I've been waiting for it since 1984 and it still hasn't shown up. Politicians on the line they keep saying...

You wont see any Iranian paratroops ever in the US they dont not have the capability to realistically reach the US even if they did it would have to pass through several air spaces that dislike the presence of Iranian military aircraft greatly.

Hush...let him carry on playing 'Homefront' and watching 'Red Dawn' :03:

Stealhead 03-08-12 10:21 AM

I am surprised that they do not make a "Green Dawn" for the Yubbas out there where Iran and Hezbollah invades the US and shoots wealthy businessmen (killing a left-commie teacher
would be a positive) and tramples copies of the bible and "Dukes of Hazard".Yubba as played by Bruce Willis will become leader of the Hickory Smoked Bacons and will ambush Iranian Republican Guard units they will always take 3 alive and force them to eat bacon until they burst.

Iran is most certainly a threat but not on that level to the US.

Catfish 03-08-12 10:22 AM

What, the US did not even shoot back ?
Tell your propaganda ministry to do their stuff right.

Wait no ! (lol):

A dhow sank in a storm, and some of the seamen were rescued by the US. I hope Israel did not fire the rockets yet ?

A boat sank. A sailor was rescued. Several bodies recovered. No shots fired as far as the US is concerned. Iran continues railing on about the Great Satan... :yep:

Wouldn't they be surprised to find out that the U.S. actually works for a series of Lesser Satans, all grouped under the Hell's Half Acre marketing firm. (The actual Great Satan chairs the parent company and, along with a healthy salary, also receives pension from a UK law enforcement agency (i.e. jimbuna :03:)). :hmmm::D

So, the national title should read: The United States of America (A liesure-time subsidary of Great Satan, LLP)? :hmmm::D

Yeah, that would be about right. :haha:

CaptainHaplo 03-08-12 06:55 PM

"Honest Cap'n - that dhow just sank. I have no idea why. Well, yessir, those are bullet holes in the bodies of those sailors, and yes sir, the one that is injured appears to be shot as well. But it wasn't us, Cap'n!"

"Good, we don't want an international incident! Now, were we able to down that seagull for my dinner?"

"No sir, we fired every available weapon except missiles, and we missed with every one sir."

"Darn, oh well, I will be in my stateroom. Carry on!"
