Nice idea but we don't have 200 B-52's.
DINDDINGDING our judges will accept that! Actually, it was intercepting and decrypting their radio signals and it WAS against a law from...uh...1936, I believe. Luckily, the military went ahead and did it ANYWAY. If they hadn't we would have lost WWII.
"I guess the Iranians will claim the British vessels had entered Iranian waters..."
You couldn't plot this stuff out better if you were writing a book. It's like they're following a script written by a bad author. What a dumb-ass thing to do.
They're, BoA, are issuing credit cards to illegal aliens.
For the record: Bank of America is issuing credit cards to customers with an existing bank account which anyone can get when they have an IRS issued Tax Identification Number. A TIN
I have had bank accounts in at least 4 countries besides the US, using whatever ID those banks required at the time.
It is not realistic to hold Bank of America to a higher standard than we hold the US Congress - makers of the laws that BoA follows.
There will be a conspiracy theory thread up on DU or KOS before the day is over.
This is just the excuse we need to start bombing Iran... 30 years overdue in my oppinion.
It was used with permission from another poster.
I think it's very appropriate considering our forefathers' heritage and promise to their progeny.
Thanks for the ping...time to seize the Iranian madman when he lands in New York...
Glenn Beck about to get into this incident on his radio show...
Now they have two in their navy. Bombs away, boys! It's getting near time to put these folks away--far, far away.
Kiss sounds right. We're always kissing up to these people instead of kicking their buttskies.
NP. I personally don't want them issuing credit to Muslims illegally crossing from Canada or arriving from other First World nations on student visas and disappearing either, but that's just me.
"We've got both Sunni AND Shia on our side."
It's a good thing they're both on our side so we can crush the insurgency and put an end to this civil war, albeit a limited one. But the shiites and sadr army must be crushed as they are the main reason for this war going as far as it has so far.
"I don't think much will happen.
So do I.
Such maritime incidents are frequent.
If they were all to escalate into a war the entire world would be at war with each other."
Huge difference this with this set of circumstances. It is not exactly a secret Iran and the U.S. are not on good terms right now. There is plenty of Iran meddling in Iraq via its support and supply of Sadr and his Shitte cronies (IEDs, handheld SAMs), abduction of Iranian military officials, 2 U.S. carrier task groups and 2 MEF task groups in the Arabian Sea, Iranian naval war games, etc. This is not some isolated maritime incident. There was already a lot of bad blood bwtn the U.S./Iran before this incidenct, now you've got the kidnapping/hostage taking of 15 sailors of our biggest ally in the world and you've got a lot of military assets on both sides in close proximity. This is a recipe for near-time conflict. Not saying its going to happen, but it sure just got a lot more likely
All I have to say is it's time to break out the MOAB.
OK.
I agree it is unfair to target a sinle company.
I'll change the tag line.
There was story on this about 6 weeks ago and another poster wrote the tagline. I then asked for permission to use it. Unfortunately forgot his/her name.
