[week 71]

to decide if the ships, which are also suspected of carrying supplies to make weapons of mass destruction, should be boarded at sea or inspected when they try to dock

Kinda makes you wonder exactly what the intelligence says, doesn't it

[aculeus]

Interesting!

Bundesnachrichendienst? . . .um, does that come with nachos?

Better warm up the Harpoon missiles. I'm sure the submarine guys are standing by with their torpedoes, too.

Does show the value of a seven-seas, blue water navy that is the dominant maritime force on earth. I think I remember some brilliant thinking during the Clinton Administration that a large navy was becoming obsolete.

Wonder if the feminists regrest damaging it so badly through P.C. and Tailhook???

[StriperSniper]

Now that the ships know that we may be on to them,
we should board them as soon as possible.

That is as long as it is good info.

The US Navy has been boarding and searching ships for weeks now. Dozens have already been searched.

[Bogie]

That big crate that says "BANANNAS", it's ticking!

[af_vet_1981]

Wait a minute

Didn't the US Navy recently close the Vieques Bombing Range ?

Well ...

Training is very important.

Declare the ships as enemy combatants.

Train hard.

The Limbaugh Letter has an interview with Mansoor Ijaz, who said that Al-Qaeda move around in large cargo ships. He said one of the fears is that they park it in Singapore Harbor and blow up a dirty bomb. Not much damage (maybe psychological) but it would close down the largest Asian port.

"If the Cold War was more defined in who the bad guys were, this threat is more elusive and more difficult to discover, but there are more people looking."

It's a white guy in a white van!!!
