US attack on Iran?
Is that a legit story on the front page, or a hoax? I want to believe the latter :dead:
|
It's one reporters opinion based on his "sources" from what I can tell. I would highly doubt it.
But hey, we have 2 strike carrier groups out there. We are ramping up war games. Our current administration loves political suicide. why not? |
This will no doubt be postponed due to my April 2 invason of Earth followed by my April 3 victory celibration. :yep:

Have we heard what it looks like on the Iranian side of the border?
The Iranians took captive 15 Brits recently, tested new missles, launched subs, threatened another legitimate nation with annihihatalion (Isreal), thumbed their noses at the UN, fund, God only knows, how many terrorist groups, need I go on? I do not claim to know what the Iranians are getting at, but it looks as if they want something very badly. |

Oh, and the Iranians are ramping up the wargames, not us Enigma. The only one attempting political (and literal) suicide would be Mr. Achmedinijad. Quote:

Having said that, when I said we were ramping up war games, I was referring to, well, the US ramping up war games. Quote:

Um...ok? I mean, its right there in the article. 100 planes conducting strike maneuvers. Is Red Flag a war game? How is this not a war game?
Nevermind. Silly argument. |
What puzzles me is why the warship allowed those 15 men to be taken in the first place without doing something!

The officer at the Ministry of Defence justified the lack of reaction by the British personnel. Their rules of engagement, he said, were adequate for self-defence, but they were taken by surprise as they left the ship they had inspected. Two Iranian boats with far heavier weapons - rocket launchers and heavy machine guns against rifles and pistols - came alongside after indicating a friendly attitude. Communications were lost immediately and then the two British boats were escorted by the Iranians and about four other Iranian boats "swarmed" in. Some gaps in British preparations were evident from what the officer said. A Lynx helicopter monitoring the boarding had returned to the mother ship HMS Cornwall, which could not get nearer because of shallow water, and by the time the Cornwall realised what has happening, the British were on the Iranian side. Iranian boats had about "three minutes" in which they made their approach, according to the officer, but nobody on the British side saw them. Mr Blair said the attitude of the British personnel had been "entirely sensible". If they had fired, there would "undoubtedly have been severe loss of life". |

Yeah, I know. I live beneath where the jets take of from. I sit on mountains and watch them do it. It's a war game.
