Two U.S. Navy boats with 10 sailors on board taken into Iranian custody

Rockets being launched at anyone going through the SOH is not news at all. That shit happens all the time. The pucker factor is always high during that transit.

ETA: Launching rockets near or IVO the HST, not at her.


Right, but poking the tiger with a stick just the same.
 
It is easy to get uppity with a riverine boat, a little different with a carrier battle group.
Like conducting a live fire exercise within 1000 yards?


They know we're desperate for this deal and they can do pretty much anything they want.

Iran knows Obama won't do anything and views him as weak (or complacent). I actually think Biden would be better in this situation.

They need the deal approved money released before November, because I can't see anyone else (Republican or Democrat) thinking this is a good deal.

@parallel WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU....
I've been busier than a cat coving shit on a marble floor.

As for my take on this incident? Early on I was coming up with theories that would give those crews the benefit of the doubt but its not looking good. Even so, I'm not buying the "official" story, but without any reliable info all I can say is none of it makes sense. By the way... those crews are NOT SWCC but are instead RIVRON.

That would fall under the category of "stories I could tell". I've seen both of those happen on more than one occasion, Sir.
 
Iran give medals to Iranian commanders who detained US sailors. I wonder what Iran received from the USG to feel the need to honor their commanders?

We should've killed every one of these Persian bastards after the last hostage came home in 1981. Or bombed the living shit out of them as payback. The one country we needed to go to war with and didn't.

Well, the chemical weapons and other arms we sold to Sadaam certainly did a number on them from 1980-88.

I thought it was the Germans who almost exclusively hold responsibility for the Iraqis duel use tech pesticide/nerve agent WMD plants?

I thought the US only sold a few helos to Iraq and facilitated spare parts and Int.

But a crapton of weapons to Iran(Iran/Contra).

All for the purpose of both Iran and Iraq killing each other better so that no one wins and both sides lose as much as possible.
 
We primarily gave them money and intel, but sent them a bunch of "dual use" compounds like anthrax and insecticides.
 
I'd hope to be wearing socks with bongs and pot leaves on them, worn over a pair of black silk thigh highs (complete with the seam in the back) and a garter belt, and a push-up bra with a disembodied hand flipping the bird on each cup, plainly visible through my ripped-to-shit undershirt. At that point, UCMJ is the least of my worries.

Go ahead, make some propaganda out of this. I'm going in the spank bank, and you'll have to stone the fuck out of tens of males to banish me otherwise.
