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?

Lots of FReepers who have been on ships in the gulf are familiar with the Monkey Man. On that and another thread linked to in that one they say it sounded like him.
The pentagon said they also never claimed the threats were from the Iranian boats, but the other candidates in the debate did. I guess you can take it up with them, after accusing me of being an Icke and ROckwell supporter.
I wish you had as strict guidelines for evidence of what you read as what you accuse others of supporting or doing. If so our conversations might be productive. :)
