Brief video of Iranian boats at the link.

Well, if they capture any of our sailors I just hope none of them bawls when they take away his iPod like those Brits did.

[sinanju]

Which one was Iran’s flagship?

[doc1019]

I guess they think Allah will save their mosquito like navy from the wrath of the US Navy.

Soon we will have three carrier groups and who knows how many nuclear subs in the area ... what are they going to do ... pray their way out of this situation?

[goat granny]

I just hope the jerk in the white house has some balls when it comes to our military....

[hinckley buzzard]

It wouldn't take much to dispose of these speedboats. A .50 cal machine gun would fire them up just fine, methinks.

[tractorman]

And in other news, a top Iranian nuclear scientist was car-bombed. Hmmm.

[doc1019]

They are banking their entire future on the fact that Obama is weak.

[DIRTYSECRET]

The last time they tried this trick I noticed that the pilots of these speed boats wore life preservers. They were not ready to met allah.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[samadams2000]

I guess we allow provocative runs on our ships until 400 yards out?

[taxcontrol]

And at 500 yards, they are well within range.

[tractorman]

Probably a practice run.

[FunkyZero]

awww... isn’t that cute?

[Tucker39]

They are banking their entire future on the fact that Obama is weak.....and a fellow-raghead.

[M Kehoe]

The Persian situation is starting to get interesting. Iranian nuclear scientist going boom. There are many opposing military assets in close proximity. Chances are increasing that things could go hot.

No, we have a wanna be boy king at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who's friend is Iamanutjob. I hate to say this, but the U.S. Navy will probably stand down.

Seems like the fortunes of our country are heading south...

I know the CO of the Adak very well, and he won’t be crying, let me tell you.

I do hope the fact that we have made USCG the tip of the spear doesn’t mean that USN doesn’t have their back.

[goat granny]

I think the only way he will stand up for the military is if he doesn’t that will kill him at election time...even Clinton knew that, but all he did was hit a camel in the butt with a multimillion dollar missle...and hit an aspirin factory that the US had to pay for...A for effort E for results...

[spokeshave]

US navy already got close enough to rescue Iranian "fishermen" twice this last week.......

Seems to me this is what's going down.....

"Call to rescue another lot of Iranian "fisherman" followed by a big bang......fishing boat, Iranian suiciders and some USA Navy all blown to smithereens.

They are banking their entire future on the fact that Obama is weak.

Tis a good bet on their part. The Messiah is weak and sympathizes with other enemies of America.
