What....Obama's new BFF is harassing one of our ships??

The Iranians are probably wondering what they can get for a ship and its crew...

Let's see....$400,000.00 for 4 hostages......

[WENDLE]

I absolutely do not believe this. The naval impotence was of great concern and humiliating. The pentagon said “ FLARES” just yesterday !!! They should have killed all of those bastards unmercifully and fed them to the fish!!
Look at the source of this new lie. CNN??? Give me a damned break.

This is a new incident...about the 3rd in the last few days.

This was the USS Squall, a Cyclone class Patrol boat armed with a 25mm chain gun, several .50 cal machine guns, and can carry griffin or Hellfie missiles.

Apparently it was helping escort a Kuwaiti vessel when three Iranian patrol boats began harassing it.

When they came to close, one in particular, they fired .50 cal shots into the water near the Iranian.

This is going to lead...soon...to a serious shooting contest between our vessels and we’d best get very prepared for it now.

Reagan knew what to do. We need another Operation Preying MAntis about now.

In addition to regular defensive weaponry, perhaps USN ships operating in those waters should also carry water cannon and reservoirs of warm, rancid bacon fat. The IRIN boats will receive incoming DU shells AND warm bacon grease for their trouble.

Deduct the cost of the ammunition from their next pay-off.

Barky’s way to keep himself in office, declare war, and NO he wouldn’t go through Congress to do it, he hasn’t done that for 8 years why would he start now????

[PLMerite]

Local commander probably acting on his own. Expect him to be relieved of command.

USS Squall:

Um, in the short video of us firing into the water, I don’t see any Iranian vessels anywhere. None. Looks like file footage of something else.

[firebasecody]

Is Lurch working on a sternly worded letter yet?

[piytar]

So when will Obama have the captain court-marshaled or replaced with a PC wimp? /wish I was kidding

[RoosterRedux]

Expect Iran to ramp it up until November.

But once Trump wins, they will whimper like hungry pups.

[soycd]

Wake me up when we center-punch the islamic scum.

[Mat_Helm]

Mr. Trump please reactivate BB-61 and BB-62 and park them off the Iranian coastline!

[vpintheak]

Should have taken a sea-whiz to their monkey buttocks!

[Jack Hydrazine]

1st, 2nd or 3rd kind?

[longhorn too]

Damned the warning shots, what the Navy needs is some direct hits!
