If you have kids, skip the sorority house scene....
That’s the way some of the US media will now try to cast it. Perhaps as Bush’s Gulf of Tonkin attempt. Wait until the hard anti war anti US elements and others do there thing.
Better late than never, I guess....
While invading and looting one of our trading partners, shooting scud missiles at Israel, and paying a bounty to suicide bombers' families - not to mention gassing his own people, throwing innocents into wood chippers, providing aid and comfort to al qaeda, and possibly material help, and plotting all the while to resume a nuclear weapons program as soon as he could finish his scam on the UN.
Real peach of a guy there.
True, but there were many in the Merchant Marine that felt the sting of war long before it was ever declared....my uncle Joe, for incidence....
I have a grandson in college..one grandson in the Navy and two already out of college. I “keep up”..LOL
Right now, I have 2 sons out of college, one step-son out, one step-son in college, and one step-son starting....
My prospects look good!
Being a Merchant Mariner was a very very dangerous job before and during WW2..God bless you Uncle Joe. Glad he made it.
My son is very pleased hat he is rounding third on college expenses!He has had two in college at once. O MY
...to better see the old Iranian Navy....
Perhaps next time, they would like to see them close up....
I can relate, it happened to me.... :-)
Great line.
Anyone notice the abject, hysterically ironic tagline from RJRfan, in light of his idiotic statement/prediction?
I’m wondering what will trigger the next financial boon for the military industrial complex — a “Gulf of Tonkin” incident? Or a Reichstag fire?
Good grief! LOL
For those not able to watch the video, here is the audio text:
Hello American ships welcome to the fascinating Strait of Hormuz where 30 percent of the world’s oil supply passes. Welcome, welcome, welcome my friends. Can I trouble you to tell me your destination, so that our escort boats can lead your way safely through this narrow channel? May I offer you an itinerary of things to do during your stay in the beautiful Persian Gulf? We have a list of the most ideal luxury Persian Gulf hotels and 5 star resorts the Gulf has to offer, and this is all provided to you by Great Iran, the pearl of the Persian Gulf.
Sounds O.k to me.
The are none so blind than those who refuse to see. A team of ophthalmologists cannot fix your problem.
“An academic delegation of Columbia University professors and deans of faculties plans to visit Tehran to officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.”
Apologize on whose behalf? These clowns need to make the trip...and we need to revoke their citizenship while they are out of the country, then deny them re-entry to the US.
Maybe they can find teaching positions in Tehran... OOPS, they’ll have to convert first. And, their lesson plans will have to be approved for content. But, that will certainly be better for them than living in a country that allows them the freedom to be morally ignorant dumba$$es.

It sure would be nice to see someone in this government get a pair and file on this statute.....
“All along I thought it was the German attack on Pearl Harbor
incorrect. it was the Italians...”
Well all I know is that some thought it “was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor”.
But some had a different thought and decided “it isn’t over until we decide it is”.
And they told told the people; “Who’s with me?”
