Iranians carve unit emblem into U.S. Ship

[ASWnut101]

from The Sub Report:

A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a commando unit has engraved the military organization's emblem into the side panel of an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf. Nur Ali Shushkari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, told Iranian pro-government news agencies that the symbol was etched onto the ship by the crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar. Shushkari did not release specific details about the incident, but claimed that the operation proved that Iranian forces are following American fleet traffic in the region. Shushkari warned the United States that if a confrontation arises, all American forces in the gulf as well as targets inside the U.S. itself would be targets for attack. In recent months, the U.S. has increased its forces in the Persian Gulf and has carried out a number of exercise maneuvers which have been viewed by the Iranians as threatening. Despite this, U.S. President George Bush has insisted that the American army has no plans to invade Iran.

They're starting to push it, I wonder how much we will take. I've already had enough.

All I can say is remember Baghdad Bob. He also made outrageous statements.

Personally, I'd teach them a lesson by lobbing an explosive in every time they opened their mouth in a provocative way. Eventually, and with a big enough explosive, they would STFU.

Even hthat great proliferator of peace William Jefferson Clinton, lobbed a bomb into the Chinese Embasy. Or was that to keep the world's attention off of where his attention really (Monica Lewinski) was?

Either way, someone needs to put the Iranian gov't on notice that they are headed down a risky path.

No, I've had enough of Iran's comments.


"Wipe Israel off the face of the world"
"Pursuing nuclear weapons"


and now

"carving thier pictures into our ships"


Here's something: We should carve the U.S. 7th Fleet's emblem into Akmadinijad's house with a few TLAM's.

Iran would be a pointy stick in the side of the U.S., which we would easily remove, if they tried to do a full scale war.

Well, if they actually did it, then it's an inventive way of making a threat, I'll give em that.

[SUBMAN1]

Man! This sounds so like Comical Ali, it is almost funny!

Until I see proof, this is about as bad as Comical Ali saying no US troops are within our border when they are practically on his doorstep!

These people are all the same - full of talk and no real action. I know many Iranians and I have to say, they 'all' talk BS like this.

-S

PS. Incase any
one forgot who Comical Ali is, here ya go! http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

[Tchocky]

This is somewhat like a troll. Do not feed.

[Subnuts]

So the Iranians think they are so smart, no? Well, for every ship they carve emblems into, we'll carve emblems into ten of their ships!* And we'll paint those emblems, too, with paint that's non water-solulable! Ha ha ha, I am one evil genius!


*Assuming they have that many.
