Once again, you prove you can't even have a bit of humor from me without you persoanlly attacking me.

You don't joke about stuff like that troll. Don't try to play the victim, you've made similarly stupid comments before.

[mathluv]

Took a minute, but LOL!!!

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Being that my family is from the Middle East, I am not "totally ignorant of the Middle East".

I am one of a number of members here who mentioned Iran's military exercises.

Stop stalking me and stop persoanlly attacking me. It is getting old.

[mathluv]

I guess I'll be attacked next for saying something similar.

[justshutupandtakeit]

None have.

[skeeter]

What did you do to deserve the flames? Couldn't have been your comment here, which was relatively benign.

I don't think its too much of a stretch to suspect Iran of lethal tomfoolery - its their specialty.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Well that proves the point I made--he did not attack you but he persoanlly attacked me. He has been stalking me for some time.

You and I said the same thing--proof postive he is stalking me.

Wait I thought you were joking? Now that others are saying it, it's ok that you said it? LOL!!! How are you really, Bill Clinton? Come on now you and I BOTH know you weren't joking or being sarcastic. And the entire victim card you are trying to play is simply hilarious troll.

You say stupid things in the open forum, I'll respond to them. It isn't stalking if I'm not viewing your profile or your comments. Your ignorance will not go uncountered. It's just too damned bad if you don't like that troll.

See post #47.

He has been stalking me for some time. A number of us all mentioned Iran and their military exercises. He gets his jollies from stalking me and personally attacking me.

You're so full of crap you're eyes are certainly brown troll.

Thanks,
Gave me something to go by. Although anything like this with Saudi Arabia nearby gives me pause.

Admit it Tread, you just don't like it when I counter your BS with REALISM and EXPERIENCE. You don't like it that I counter your stupid Iraq comments with common sense, eye-witness accounts and my own personal experience. Hell you outright DODGE people questioning the BS you bloviate on this forum and this victim card thing is purely the next step.

[Hadley V. Baxendale]

The victim card thingie was pretty cute.

Say something stupid, and when you get called on it, call it stalking.

I'm sure it's convincing to everyone. Or, at least, that's the intent.

Just FYI, can't help but wonder if this is related:

Xinhua: Iran To Launch Massive Military Maneuver in Gulf "Iran To Launch Massive Military Maneuver in Gulf" --
Xinhua headline
Xinhua
Thursday, March 30, 2006

Tehran, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Iran is to launch a massive military maneuver in the Gulf as of Friday, the official IRNA news agency reported on Wednesday.

Admiral Morteza Saffari, Naval Force Commander of Iran's elite militia - the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was quoted as saying that the naval and ground forces of the IRGC, the Armed Forces and the Disciplinary Forces (police) would participate in the war game.

The maneuver will last till April 6 near the northern coasts of the Gulf, and over 17,000 soldiers and 1,500 naval vessels of various types and sizes will join the operation, Saffari announced.

"The entire armed forces are fully ready to defend the territorial integrity of the motherland, which will be displayed during the war game," Saffari added.

Iran's announcement of staging the large-scale military maneuver came as members, especially the five permanent members, of the UN Security Council were discussing future measures over the country's disputed nuclear issue.

The United States, Britain and France are pushing for tough measures at the Security Council against Iran, but the move was opposed by Russia and China, which are afraid that harsh means would run counterproductive. Accusing Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons, the U.S. and Israel have threatened to launch preemptive attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.

In response, Tehran says that it will counterattack any invasions and is capable of defending the Islamic Republic.

yeah...

he's probably over at DU getting his marching orders.

I understand if some don't see it my way, but that isn't the point.

This troll has a pattern of saying stupid things (mirroring the MSM) and then acting like he's the all-knowing being on the subject.

The victim card was hilarious. I hope he keeps it up.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

I don't think its too much of a stretch to suspect Iran of lethal tomfoolery - its their specialty.

Actually, those military exercises are to start tommorow (it may be tommorow there time already). That makes the chances of an accident related to Iran even greater.

[MikefromOhio]

Take a look at this map. It wasn't Iran's military.....



We have a significant military presence all throughout the area. It wasn't the Iranian military.

[MikefromOhio]

That makes the chances of an accident related to Iran even greater.

LOL!!! I thought you were joking? LOL!!! Thanks for exposing yourself Tread.

[Calpernia]

I didn't claim they were there, Iran did.

[MikefromOhio]

It was a ferry boat. It wasn't that far offshore.

Iran won't go more than halfway to Qatar, much less Bahrain.....that is where their "terroritorial waters" end.
