Monday's events in the Arabian Sea off Yemen sound like the stuff of a Tom Clancy novel: A "stateless" ship with its name and nationality painted over is intercepted by Spanish warships who, acting at the request of U.S. intelligence, compel it to submit to inspection.

I hope we "modified" them...

Just what I was thinking. At least a bug to keep track of them.

Even without a bug, you can bet that ship will be escorted by at least one P-3 at all times, or at least until it makes port, and then maybe some other asset, like a Predator drone, will keep track of the cargo.

I would have at least made Yemen show it's bill of sale before turning over the goods.

IMHO, the buyer wasn't really YEMEN, they have all the Scuds they need for impressing the neighbors. I think maybe Egypt, Syria, or even a red sea port of Saudi Arabia was the real destination.

One of our local newspapers had some interesting info concerning this ship. Apparently the Spanish Navy officers are very upset about the fact that the US let this ship go on. The Spanish military personnal are wondering why they risked their lives to stop and inspect this ship. Another interesting factoid reported in our local paper, the ship was originally owned by the Chinese. IE - Made in China. Then became North Korean and then registered elsewhere.

When something makes no sense at all, one must conclude that elightened globalist are involved.

This irritates me, too. The Spanish people are surely offended, as well.

The Spanish socialists irrate me too, with their constant lack of cooperation with our government, who will ulitmately save their bacon. Don't you think this vessel is watched constantly, along with its cargo and its destination? I would of done the same thing... "more sauce for the goose." ;) Best wishes!
