You’re seeing what the Navy chose to release which most likely came from a crewmembers’ personal camera. Better stills and video exist but you, and the world for that matter, don’t have a need to know, yet.

Well, excuuuuuussse ME!

Don’t forget the moon landing! Gee, we’re getting really good at this, maybe we can try faking a world without Mecca.

From the video it looks like the Iranian navy consists of several Bayliners.

LOL. It looks to me like it was shot by a crewman unofficially.

I think they were described in earlier stories as Cigarettes.

Stay with the video until the very end. The audio at the very end from the Iranian boats will send shivers up your spine.

Well, the US Particpated in the Zionist/Jewish conspiracy to fabricate the Holocaust with its newsreel cameras and coerced testimony from soldiers. The US government continued its pattern of faking history through the years by falsifying the moon landings in the 60’s and 70’s, the Murragh Federal building bombing in the 90’s and the WTC/Pentagon bombings in 2001. /Jihadi rant

Maybe, but Bayliners manned by radicals trained to swarm a Destroyer or Frigate guessing only 1 of 5 to 10 armed with impact explosives gets through.

Low tech, effective, and this was most likely a dry run to see just how close they could get before being fired on. The closer they get before we shoot, the better the chance 1 or more get through.

This is a tough predicament for us. Shoot and ask questions later means the left in America says we are starting a war with Iran; wait to ask questions and we may lose a Destroyer and hundreds of sailers with the Iranians saying it was an accident or we started it anyway.

The last bit could also be a Rosie O’Fat rant.

I wouldn’t mind “fabricating” a mushroom cloud over mecca.

When did they move Mecca to Iran?

We accuse the Iranians of provoking us, and they respond with shrieking outrage. That’s how one can tell we’re telling the truth and they’re lying. Only true accusations result in such passionate cries of anger from the other side.

This reminds me of an incident from back in eighth grade. We all know that teenagers love to hurl insults at each other, and one of the most common insults is ‘retard.’ One day, a kid called a classmate named Ivan a retard.

Now, the word ‘retard’ had been directed at other students in the class in the past, but the teacher had done nothing further than to tell the insulter to be quiet. But this was different. You see, Ivan was...kind of slow. Quite slow.

As soon as the word ‘retard’ was directed at Ivan, the teacher flew into a screaming rage. He jumped up and, with his face turning red and contorted into a grimace of anger, yelled at the insulter to report to the assistant principal’s office immediately.

As the kid walked out and the teacher’s face slowly returned to normal, I looked at the girl next to me and we both nodded our heads. Everyone in the room knew the truth. It was pretty sad, really.

Any male in the world would of blown those boats out of the water. Since the Navy didn’t, or couldn’t, most turd worlders will deduce they didn’t fire because it was there own boats.

I don’t think the US Navy has much experience in multicult reality interpretation. This happens in strong engineering/science organizations.

The Stark, the Cole, The Brit boarding party. Do Navy guys read the papers at all?
