For those of you who keep up with current events, what do you think of the Iranian speed boats that were traveling in the Persian Gulf?
For those who don't know, five Iranian speed boats, supposedly part of some Iranian revolutionary army, were traveling 15 miles off the coast of Iran and came into contact with a U.S. Navy Frigate. The boats were stopped(figuratively) and questioned their business and intentions. At this point the boats eledgidly replied with "Your boat will explode withen 2 minutes" Due to this, President Bush has proclaimed Iran as a huge threat now and has deployed more battleships in the gulf and even deployed two aircraft carriers.
In my personal oppinion, this is all going to be used as an excuse to declare war on Iran. If you listen to the audio file(I don't have any links atm because i closed them all and am way too lazy) you will hear that for some reason the Iranians are speaking perfect english, with even an unbelievable accent. The way I see it, in due time the U.S. will declare war on Iran, Russia will tell us to back off, other countries will get involved and eventually get pissed and begin WW3. Bush will use his executive right to postpone elections.. then nuclear war begins and the world is boned.
Wasn't it the USS Washington that was sent out to the Gulf? Can't remember the other one...
Also, a Carrier group consists of one carrier, and a number of battleships and destroyers, with the number of said battleships and destroyers different at different times. There are also, sometimes, submarine accompaniment as well, though not all too often.

Good info, thanks! I have no idea what the name of the ship was.
So some random irans come out and say were going to blow you up and automatically we declare war and say were going to kill your whole country. Riiight it's probably bush's way of getting more oil. Just like he did with 9/11 fucking scum bag. I would say some more stuff about him but no I would get arrested because I'll be damned if this country is a free one. No rights to speak

Alledgedly it was because of "weapons of mass destruction", however it is not known whether or not the president was in fact informed correctly via the CIA about the situation.
(But the President is still a dick...)

Well.. They weren't random Iranians. Supposedly they were part of some Revolutionary army or something like that.
I don't know if I even believe the story, honestly. Then again, I have my doubts when it comes to just about anything from the mouth of our beloved President. *Sighs.*
Bush has less than a year to go. Unless he plans to rule supreme as a dictator in the US, the most stupid thing he could do is start another war right now and leave it all in the hands of his successor. He isn't stupid, and even if he is stupid, his staff isn't stupid. Should also staff is stupid, I sure hope CIA has an assassin ready somewhere.

I want to resurrect this thread because of a comment I saw while reading through some threads. I hope it will spark some discussion:

Been in and out of drills all day. Seems tension between Iran and the US has intensified a little bit. I dont think i will get in trouble for saying that, maybe that is all I am going to say.
If Bush leaves office before WWIII then we are pretty safe from WWIII, at least for the time being.
Lets hope his cabnet can babysit him for that long..
He wants it. It's obvious. He doesn't want WW3 but he wants Iran. If he attacks Iran then he's going to get Russia. He'll come up with an excuse to attack Iran, just like they did with Afghanistan

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
That's what I was wondering.

Correction... CHENEY isn't stupid...
Of course not. I mean, thinking your buddy is a bird and shooting him? Of course he isn't stupid! *Rolls eyes.*
That or Dick could be an idiot...like the rest of our executive branch...
I think we'll see WW3 before we see Diablo 3 -.-
