Navy-Contracted Vessel Fires Warning Shots on Iranian Boats

Won't work. Another more extreme dictator will fill the power void if we strike and leave. We would have to occupy for years to prevent it. History proves this is the case almost every time.

The only long term solution is for people to get so sick of living under an Islamic dictatorship that they revolt and string up mullahs from every lamp pole. I don't see that happening just yet

I have been dismayed to read convincing research into globalist skullduggary back in those eras.

Alas . . . we ain’t seen nuthin yet.

[G8 Diplomat]

First time, nothing happened. Second time, warning flares were fired. Third time’s the charm...

[Gondring]

I wonder if the Persian Gulf could use more artificial reefs.

Looks like the captain was trying to prevent the creation of one.

[John123]

Let's say the Iranians ignored the warning shots... at what point would our forces fire on the ship? When they get within a certain distance? When they (the Iranians) fire upon the ship? Does our forces have the green light to initiate fire or do they have to get affirmative from the headquarters?

Because I'm sure this is exactly the quandry those British forces faced when they got kidnapped by the Iranians a year or two ago...

It sounds like the Iranians are looking for any excuse to create another front for our forces. And we are already tapped out in the WOT. Imagine how bad the looney left is now... wait until we start bombing Iran...

Soldiers aren't needed to eliminate Iran. That's a job for the Navy and/or Air Force.

Looks more and more like all those 2012 prophecies may have some meat to them...

[mysterio]

Soldiers aren't needed to eliminate Iran.

I find it exceptionally unlikely that we will accomplish regime change simply through air strikes. Of course it will require troops on the ground, and of course it will require occupation.

I think we should be careful not to overextend our forces if we want the individual missions to be successful.

[ASA Vet]

I'm not interested in regime change.

[Quix]

IV is true enough.

I still don’t know what to make of a lot of the 2012 stuff.

Holding all that loosely on the top shelf still.

However, I do know that a major researcher in the field was extremely sobered and insisting that the powers that be insisted that citizens did NOT WANT to know what was coming downt he pike in 2012. And she seemed to know and wouldn’t budge.

Later a FREEPER queried her about my assertion and she denied ever saying such a thing. Evidently even saying that much was too dangerous for her.

I have a hard time imagining things holding together that long. She was insisting that everyone was just trying to hold things together until then.

Then there are those who insist that WWIII/IV is going to get lit off before the end of 2008. If so, I’d say after the Olympic games and after the election. But God only knows.

I think the puppet masters are convinced that they and their ET buddies are in control. They have bought the deception that the ET explanations/cosmology is 100% true when it’s fostered by the father of lies.

They actually believe that God Almighty will lose at Armageddon. Satan knows better but what an effective way to take lots of God’s favorite creatures to hell with him.

Thankfully, GOD IS IN CONTROL AND has more surprises up His bigger sleeves than satan can imagine.

But if pre-Millenialism is the correct interpretation, we won’t be here to be concerned with it. Ultimately, this means that we should only be concerned with the souls of others being saved - the tribulations will be for those we don’t reach.

[Quix]

I’m certainly convinced of a pre-wrath Rapture, at least . . .

Have increasingly thought there would be more than one catching away. . . . and even before I read the other fellow recently . . . that there would be a TRANSFORMED and left in place for a while [he says 40 days] to do exploits in our heavenly bodies . . . but he also says the Great Tribulation will only be 3.5 years. I’m still leaning toward 7 years.

I certainly want the first elevator UP!

We shall see.

Certainly the priority is to witness of the Hope that lies within us and to live the life before a hurting world.

[stuartcr]

What did she use to validate her research?

I figure that since God created all and knows the future, everything will go just as He plans...I just don’t know if we will be happy with His plan.

[Quix]

She was speaking from her contacts with sources who risk their lives to talk with her . . . reportedly, evidently.

And, my relative who has been interviewed by her a time or 3 asserted to me recently on the phone . . . that she sometimes has learned to retract things or lay low on things to stay alive, herself.

[Quix]

All who Love God will be overjoyed at the results of His plans.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard that which God has prepared for those who Love Him.

Getting there, however, will be a job for

Nuke the terrorist savages.

If fired upon or perceive they are about to be fired upon they can return fire with appropriate force.
