The Navy says a ship encountered a small Iranian high-speed boat in the central Persian Gulf
Wonder if they'll tell us they're gonna explode our ship in a few minutes again. I bet the skipper got a good laugh out of that.

MMFireman striker to IC3. In civilian life lots of marine diesels, some surplus.
They fired nothing more than a flare.
You better listen to him. He’s typing in Caps.

I don’t know anything about “Tonken” but the Gulf of Tonkin is another story ;-)
Whenever, wherever this story has appeared...it needs to be repeated. Haven’t many of us always believed this to be true?
Interesting...hmmm
You're right -- sometimes I miss the most obvious clues.
No. Be alarmed if you must, but don’t be surprised if others don’t join in.
Here we go again.
The Iranians don’t learn. They messed with us in the Gulf before and they’re foolish enough to do it again.
That’s a new thread. The old - which had 4’000 views in 1 hour, had been pulled out by moderator for no reason.
I really don’t understand why people are not jumping on the story, again and again.
If they doubt it is true, why they don’t jumb on asking for the report to confirm or knock it down ?
But at least take it seriously ! We all know the Dar el-Zaoun strike of the IAF was related to Saddam’s WMDs which were buried in the Bekaa’s valley in 2003. Did Assad try to use this stuff ? Did the Israelis prevent him to do so ?
It is important.
Not on the same site. Spread the story as far and wide as you like, but don't expect FR to retain duplicates.
So don’t expect the truth to be known someday.
And, by the way, don’t expect the US people to support a war they don’t understand why they are fighting it.
Liberals are good in lying. Obviously, Freepers have no idea what the war on truth is all about, and how to correct disinformation.
Don’t complain if Democrats spread lies. You help them.
Liberals spent the last 5 years saying there were no WMDs despite evidence, and FR wouldn’t post TWO days the same info in order to spread it and GET the report to confirm or abandon the story ?
This is ridiculous.
Why post over and over? Unless the thread is duplicate and is pulled for wasting bandwidth and disk space, what is posted stays posted. That is, the earlier threads, and there are many, are still there.
The story was posted Monday and is still there. If a thread was pulled it was probably a duplicate.
I would fire 12.7mm tracer rounds.
Well, that’s funny.
I posted on a thread on FR just yesterday, with a similar headline.
and here it is: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1998516/posts
“had been pulled out by moderator for no reason.”
Just as there was no reason for the officials to remove some people from the premises, in the video at this link.
