Brief video of Iranian boats at the link.

Well, if they capture any of our sailors I just hope none of them bawls when they take away his iPod like those Brits did.

[sinanju]

Which one was Iran’s flagship?

[doc1019]

I guess they think Allah will save their mosquito like navy from the wrath of the US Navy.

Soon we will have three carrier groups and who knows how many nuclear subs in the area ... what are they going to do ... pray their way out of this situation?

[goat granny]

I just hope the jerk in the white house has some balls when it comes to our military....

[hinckley buzzard]

It wouldn't take much to dispose of these speedboats. A .50 cal machine gun would fire them up just fine, methinks.

[tractorman]

And in other news, a top Iranian nuclear scientist was car-bombed. Hmmm.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[samadams2000]

I guess we allow provocative runs on our ships until 400 yards out?

[FunkyZero]

awww... isn’t that cute?

The Persian situation is starting to get interesting. Iranian nuclear scientist going boom. There are many opposing military assets in close proximity. Chances are increasing that things could go hot.

No, we have a wanna be boy king at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who's friend is Iamanutjob. I hate to say this, but the U.S. Navy will probably stand down.

Seems like the fortunes of our country are heading south...

Iranian ships recently taunted two U.S. Navy vessels as part of escalating tensions in and around the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz.

And as they quickly sped away they could be heard to say, “Now go away... or we shall return to taunt you a second time”.

The best defense is an offense that wipes the stupid bastar!s out before they do something stupid that puts you on defense.

[neodad]

My old ship knew how to handle this situation!

[Chode]

HOZE-EM!!!

A few years ago my daughter was on a DDG in that area and when I asked her about the Iranians and wasn't she worried?

She referred me to think about the article that National Lampoon did (several years back) as to what various small countries (like Iran) will do if we piss them off. And she shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
Then said that story said it all.
And laughed again.

Find the story and read it as it is very funny as applies here. It involves Iran hooking their 14's to Dodge Power wagons, towing the F14's to the gulf and firing a few air to air missiles at our Carriers several hundred miles off shore.

If you can not find it trust me it is funny!

The Iranian navy is awesome.

[PghBaldy]

I just had a disturbing thought- what if we blast an Iranian boat out of the water at some point, due to some aggresive action on the Iranian side, and Obama apologizes?

[LZ_Bayonet]

So, the real question, how does this affect the value of the dollar?

[MichaelP]

If they load those speed boats with explosive and try to detonate it next to one of our ships... I wonder how close obummer has ordered that they be to fire upon?
