OOh, well, glad they cleared that up, I just knew our guys were wrong
I’m getting tired of this BS...
Anyone know what the international rules are on buffer zones around war ships? In other words, at what distance can a war ship fire on an approaching threat?
They need several boats circling a “war ship” to find out its intentions? Just one other boat with good two way radio is sufficient to do as the Iranians suggest they intended. The rest is reminiscent of the USS Cole.
......... maybe they will ad this to their apology
Columbia professors plan to visit Iran to apologize to Ahmadinejad
NEW YORK (MNA) – An academic delegation of Columbia University professors and deans of faculties plans to visit Tehran to officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
The delegation plans to express regret for the insulting remarks Columbia University President Lee Bollinger directed at Ahmadinejad on September 24 in his introductory speech, the Mehr News Agency correspondent in New York reported.
Since the incident, the deans and professors from the faculties of history, anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, and Islamic studies have criticized Bollinger’s behavior toward Ahmadinejad.
A member of the delegation, who requested anonymity, said the main goal of the visit is to meet the Iranian president and officially apologize to him.
“The delegation has also prepared its itinerary,” he noted.
