“Explodes”? Up 2.3%. Some explosion.

Adding another rumor to the pile, the Russian Newspaper VZGLYAD is said to have confirmed that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz “till further notice” for military excercise.
F’ them. They had a revolution, remember? They allowed the mullahs to take over the country and created an “Islamic Republic”, remember?
They got exactly what they wanted in 1979. So they can all go straight to hell.
Piss on all of them.
Better yet, why not just rain some ICBMs on their asses? Would suit me just fine.
I get the humor, but NFW Obama ever shoots under par. Trust me, the man shown below is NO ATHLETE.
Jimmy Carter Redux...
They’ll hold our whole country hostage instead of just 26 embassy employees.
I’d say give Iran one hour to return our plane.
One minute late, nuke it.

So they announce it, and close it for training purposes and everything happens as expected. What’s the prob;em? I would imagine there would be a problem, only if things did not go as expected.
His role would be the BOX.
Let’s leave 0bama’s sexual preferences out of the discussion please...
That photo is PROOF that he is a leftist. He is even throwing the ball LEFT HANDED!
We reported on this threat yesterday, and most experts believed the boast wasn’t a credible possibility.
Bloomberg reports the Strait is wide open and it’s not yet known how the rumor originated.
This story is developing.

Silver and gold are already below where they were before this rumor got out.
Given modern missile technology the US navy is nothing more than a giant floating target. Iranian and military sources note that the linkage Sorouri made between the capture of the RQ-170 and the naval drill in the Strait of Hormuz was intended to inform Washington that Tehran in possession of the drone no longer fears the ability of the naval air carriers the US has deployed in the Persian Gulf to prevent its closure of the strategic waterway.

There is a reason American military officers express grim concern over the tactics used by Iranian sailors last weekend: a classified, $250 million war game in which small, agile speedboats swarmed a naval convoy to inflict devastating damage on more powerful warships.
In the days since the encounter with five Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz, American officers have acknowledged that they have been studying anew the lessons from a startling simulation conducted in August 2002. In that war game, the Blue Team navy, representing the United States, lost 16 major warships an aircraft carrier, cruisers and amphibious vessels when they were sunk to the bottom of the Persian Gulf in an attack that included swarming tactics by enemy speedboats.
Iran closes Strait of Hormuz; U.S. Senate approves sodomy and bestiality.
Does everyone love us yet, Obama?
Another today. Commander relieved of an air wing here in WA state.
It’s a purge.
Actually this is Ahmedinijad taking advantage of Obamas weak posturing while begging for our drone back
Spot-On...The rookie has made us a laughing stock.They pulled the same type of stunt with the Embassy hostages in 1979 while carter was in office..they released the hostages when a real MAN took the helm..Ronald Reagan
