Iran at it again!!

Well they do this to those who disagree http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death...da_Agha-Soltan.... who can say how many believe it probably about the same ratio as anywhere else.

@Marcus your last line seems those types are everywhere. In the US you'll see some my favorite of their sologans is "these colors don't run" I feel like handing them a history book. You know the blind followers which by at least my view of what American citizenship the first duty is to question anything the government dose or says. I'd say that is the duty of any citizen of any nation. In the US the oath of enlistment as well as for officers is to defend the constitution and the people not a certain leader. We kneel to no kings.

I am shocked. Shocked, I say to learn the Iran is practicing war maneuvers. It is a damn good thing that an upstanding peace loving country like the good ole USA would never ever do such a thing.

If the Iranians had really wanted to sink a US carrier, they should have made a pact with either the ancient Mayans, or Roland Emmerich.

Just pure luck they chose a time when the radar and ecm systems were turned off for maintenance and the CIWS systems were being overhauled, alongside the fact all the pilots were having a day off....pure luck is all it was.

It was a million-to-one chance I tells ya! With luck like that, they should play the lottery.

I don't understand Iranians. Really, they're an enigma of stupidity.

Their tourism rating is climbing the last few years because of their landscape, cultural heritage and a sense of preserving the pre-islam history of the land and they're known as hospitable people. It's like adventurers forced open Iran and found out it's a nice place and tourism would be booming if Iran looses it's ''wannabe tough guy'' image.

But no, let's act like crazy old farmers showing off their muzzle loaders going ''I'll shoot you if you step on my lawn'' Of course 3/4 of the west thinks Iran is like a less backwards clone of Afganistan if they spew anti-west garbage giving people the idea that every tourist will be beheaded there.

God, the idiots. Millions would book tickets there but few dare.

Just re-read the story and this bit caught my eye

"The drills also featured "speedboats equipped with naval radars, electronic communications systems, cruise missiles with a range of 25 kilometers, anti-ship medium-range missiles, medium- and large-caliber torpedoes, sea mines, heavy machine guns, rocket-launchers and shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles," Press TV said. "

With all that onboard those "Speed Boats" they'd be more "Speed Rafts" than boats

The question begs....with those kind of swarm tactics in a narrow area of water, would one or two get through the defences?
