War with Iran, begins in the Strait (merged)

This is from flatsixes' link (bold by me) what you think ladies and gentlemen?

Quote:

That's probably "a bluff," Paul Sullivan, a political scientist specializing in Middle East security at Georgetown University in Washington, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "They would strangle their economy and Iraq's, their ally. It could also be seen as an act of war."

Wiped out!

This wouldn't have anything to do with the latest Janes Fighting Ships grabing those pictures of diesel submarines would it?

I wish it was that easy to solve all of our problems

Nobody reads that old stuff anyway except Salior Steve

Starting all over again lets get this in prespective.

A body of protectors, of what we the people of the earth think Iran is doing wrong with their
goal to pocess a nuclear weapon, has decided to slow them down with sanctions.

Sanctions they have been able to overcome untill this last one that prohibts trading with Iran in the
surrounding countries that are pro Iranian.

At the same time this is happening the war in Iraq is ending with the USS Stennis and her carrier
escort group exiting the straits.

Iran calling it homeland rights to pass if you are a warship bent on starting another war.

Fear and faith are a lot alike

When are faith and fear a lot alike?

In that small amount of time it takes to
replace each other ... click!

They are just alike

Magicstix, that is the best recap of a thread...ever.

Brilliant stuff.

Makes up for the fact that Neal is obviously on the pay from the Revolutionary Guard, suppressing our conversation on the war against Iran!

Surely Steve can resurrect the entire thread, word for word, with his knack of remembering every post

, it's just the pictures we'd have a problem with, and TLAM has already done that in a new thread.

Magicstix..

Epic lulz and epic truth.

They seriously lack comprehension on our ability to trollface them.

And boy are we good at it.

We do it for the lulz!

Some LOL-worthy photos of the wargames...

"You have very pretty eyes..."

"Oh damn I forgot the bullets again!"

Not only is their grammar bad, they can't write straight either...

"Damn it we ran out of bullets for this thing again!"

You guys couldn't navy these up or something? Paint them haze gray or camouflage so they don't look like you just borrowed them from the marina.

Country has tons of oil and their navy burns crud for fuel...

'Cept for the part where I wasn't payin' attention in class. I think I was memorizing the 'Beautiful Women' thread at that time.

So you were doing constructive analysis instead following our boring Iran threads?

Smart guy!

TLAM STRIKE gave me an idea.

I open the mission editor on my DW

I had everything on my mind what this mission should be like

You are in control of an american sub. You are on a mission to find two iranian Kilos, somewhere on the other side of the strait. After you have sunk those two, you have 1 more task before the mission is over. Near the coast of Iran there are 3 SSM-sites, that have to be destroyed aswell. You have to do this before USS Stennis transit the straith on it's way home.

I really don't know how to use this mission editor
