“I have yet to see a legitimate source say the Pentagon admits to this, only forums, blogs and conspiracy websites. Even Google News turns up no results.”
Actually I read it right here on FR!!!

“Getting your news from David Icke, Alex Jones or Lew Rockwell again”
Before you smear me again, learn to use search, OK?
Not only that, the next day the Pantagon said that the warning didn’t come from the Iranian ships - it came from the ‘Philippino Monkey,’ some mysterious nutjob with a shortwave who has harassed Gulf shipping for years.
There is a big difference between may and your comment. The original source article in the washington post even says this is speculation, not a definate accusation and most of the WPs evidence comes from Iranian sources. Basically, the navy never said it did come from the Philippino Monkey, it say it may have, along with other sources.
Maybe you think that this was all staged by the CIA and NeoCons for a Gulf of Tonkin type incident?
