Link to the current state of that report. CentCom denied that it occurred, but reports from US personnel to relatives back home claim it did occur.

USS Enterprise - Hormuz Attack Story – Friday, June 8, 2012

Obama needs a Wag the Dog War, but he does not want the Straits of Hormuz closed. That would drive gas prices to the moon. The Oligarchy currently prefers a war in Syria apparently.

Attack, complete BS. Totally un-nmaed sources.

Imagine what would happen when 2000+ sailors got home. How are you going to keep 3 quiet, let alone 2000+?

Old Russian proverb, “Two People Can Keep A Secret, When One Of Them Is Dead.”

In addition, there are imbedded reporters.

I was a reporter for years. Rumors like this flew all the time. Always BS. The only one that proved out was the Bay of Pigs. Back un those days, the Coban ex-pat community was Tampa, rather than Miami based. We put it on the air 2 days early!

On the WWII +70 years thread the old newspaper image is up, and has a photo of the flier George Gay and his detailed account of the Battle of Midway as he floated in the water watching three Jap carriers going up in flames.

On the same page was the “Report from Hawaii”. Said something like “No activity near Midway, battle in Alaska continues”.

Noticed in the Tampa Bay Online article in the comments section a Maude Alice Whitfield said her husband was also on the ship. Her name links to her facebook acct. Wonder if she knows anything about the other story?
