Comments on: Iran Fires Back With Its Own Boat Video

Grainy Footage Depicts "Routine" Encounter With U.S. Ships; U.S. Formally Protests Incident

Please don''t bore me with that garbage that she will use diplomacy and negotiations to dig the world out of the hole that Iran''s nuke bomb represents. The Iranians will negotiate and send diplomats to meetings and one day they will announce they have successfully tested a nuke.
So what''s Hillary going to do then? What will Giuliani do? What would Huckabee or Obama or Edwards or McCain or Romney do?
They better figure it out quickly because George Bush isn''t going to solve this problem for them. And when whoever walks into the Oval Office, the Iran bomb is going to be sitting on the desk.
Good luck on this, Dems. Bush would have done it had he had some support, but you killed that. You better start backtracking and getting a whole lot more hawkish. Your day on the hot seat is coming.

Part 2

[ajmarine1]

After the NIE report came out and all the shouting and arguing about it, my only question is: Who is George Bush supporting for president in ''08?
It appears to me he is supporting the candidate who will bomb Iran. It''s clear he''s not going to do it, that he''s standing pat on Iraq, and he''s not going to disturb the tacit deal he has with Ahmadinejad that if Iran stays out of Iraq, Bush will stand down on bombing Iran over its bomb.
But you can hear him talk about it almost any hour of the day now: Iran is dangerous, which is true; Iran maintains the capability to build a bomb and quickly, which is true; and Iran may have halted its bomb program, but it is proceeding with stockpiling the material with which it could make a bomb almost overnight, which is also true, even if it''s a slight exaggeration.
So Bush seems to be saying, I''m done. I don''t have Europe behind me on attacking Iran, I don''t have the Congress, I don''t have the American people, so fine, you guys can deal with it. The you guys, of course, is the collection of presidential candidates who want his job.
Can you imagine the long faces in the Clinton campaign yesterday? They must have been saying, oh my god, we may have to bomb Iran?

Mudrose, when reality and truth won''''t allow the likes of Prinzo, vet1971, and the rest of the anti''''s to make sense of their world it must be a U.S. Government perpetrated conspiracy yet again! How many "conspiracies" have these ingrates clung to now? I have lost count! LOL!

On Board. I know you were jesting about the window thing, but you have a sweet sense of humor. Gotta go, but keep the faith.

Everyone cool with that?

I wash windows for a living. Give me a break. Anyway, you know what I mean. You actually have me worried about you now. About 20% of the American public have BLR.

No not really. But I would be closer to Capitalism if I did. BLR is Blind Liberal Rage. I think that BDS is the first stage. The final stage of course is a Liberal Jihad usally followed by some kind of Liberal Martyrdom.

There was no incident in the Straits of Hormuz...just five speed boats, a severely edited tape and an unknown voice doing a voice over. http://tinyurl.com/yszk6v

Yeah, just a bunch of youthful speed boaters out for a spin getting a sun tan while they were at it. It''s just one of those conspiracy things you all love to make up.

Perhaps the Regime should hire a professional to push their war piggery through film, as they with the bogus ''''rescue'''' and touting of Jessica Lynch...Here''''s a link with a whole bunch of bogus stories and mountains out of mole hills that CBSNBCABCFOXCNN along with print media outlets such as the NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON POST propaganda arms of the Regime ahve tried to foist upon the American people:

Did anyone else who listened to the tape from the Navy notice that the alleged Iranian speedboaters who said,"Prepare to be exploded" notice that they spoke fluent English with no trace of a Persian accent whatsoever?
Posted by realpatriot1

Did you know that most Iranians speak English? Why if you go to Iran, while they chant Death to America, they will ask you where you come from and when and if you say America, they will retort, "no kidding I have a cousin who lives in Brooklyn". Sigh!

[mudrose-2009]

The strategy will weaken Russian oil''''s role in central asia and also isolate Iran.

Well seeing how Iran only makes crud, er, crude, who cares!

In the Daily telegraph, July 22, 2006 Condoleeza Rice stated her main objective in the middle east was not to push a ceasefire in Lebanon, but to cause an isolation of Syria and Iran. The strategic objective is all tied to oil and oil pipelines.
The Israel Turkey pipeline has been in the works for some time now. In April of 2006 Israel & Turkey made their announcement which included four pipelines which will bypass Syria & Lebanon. The source of the oil is the BTC pipeline from the Caspian Sea Region. Shareholders in the BTC pipeline are: British Petroleum, AzBTC, Chevron, Statoil, TPAO, ENI, Total, Itochu, INPEX, ConocoPhillips & Amerada Hess. Another very important factor on the war with Lebanon is that Israel will have a strategic role in protecting the pipeline and transportation corridor out of Ceyhan Turkey. The strategy will weaken Russian oil''s role in central asia and also isolate Iran.

[mudrose-2009]

I''''m trying to make sense of your Mexico analogy.
Posted by notblue

There isn''t any. Same with the War Crimes Act and Bush asking Congress for immunity. Would you ever think this Congress with Pewlosi and Reid lusting to find one small little tiny thing with which to make Kucinch''s dream of impeachment come true, ever stoop to grant this man whom the despise Immunity? The absurdity of it is laughable.

[samsel3]

Nothing has changed on Iran. The administrations interest in Iran & nukes is a smoke screen for their real agenda. Their true interests are Cheney''s energy policy.Condi Rice is a former board member of Chevron Oil and mouthpiece for the administrations energy policy. Part of that policy is the The Caspian Sea pipeline which will go through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,Pakistan, to the gulf of Oman and on to India & Nepal.It will be cheaper to construct if they can go through Iran, but regime change is necessary first. The Caspian sea area holds one third of the world''s oil and south asian oil markets are their target market. This pipeline was also the reason for the Afghanistan invasion. Cheney''s energy policy is the root of all these middle east wars, a federal court judge sealed all documents associated with it for the administration, and the national media are not allowed to discuss or comment on it. More troops are needed in Afghanistan to protect the contractors building the pipeline. Iran stands in the way of total control of global oil now with sales of oil to China''s Sinopec Oil,deal signed Dec.10,2007. Months ago China said there would be dire consequences if the US interfered with there direct oil contracts with Iran. Both parties in the Congress should be very concerned with China''s growing war machine and need for oil. They are the real threat & the administration doesn''t care they are in control ! All that matters to them is BIG OIL and their corporate stock portfolios

[notblue]

b-easy3, the truth is, that the far leftwingnuts that scream the loudest, as yourself, comprise a very small percentage of the population.

Was Mexico a member of the fascist axis during WW II? I know about Germany, Japan, Italy, etc. but hadn''t heard that Mexico was. Is Iraq strategically in the heart ofthe middle east? Did Sadam defy the world with his unwillingness to be transparent? Wasn''t he convicted of genocide and executed for using WMD''s against his own people? I''m trying to make sense of your Mexico analogy.

[mudrose-2009]

A White House spokesman said Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions includes a number of vague terms that are susceptible to different interpretations.

The administration believes it is very important to bring clarity to the War Crimes Act so that those on the front lines in the war on terror ``have clear rules that are defined in law," said the White House spokesman.

Extreme interrogation practices have been a flash point for criticism of the Bush administration.

I don''t see where he asked for immunity.

[mudrose-2009]

WASHINGTON -- Boston Globe.

The Bush administration drafted amendments to the War Crimes Act that would retroactively protect policy makers from possible criminal charges for authorizing any humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees, according to lawyers who have seen the proposal.

The move by the administration is the latest effort to deal with the treatment of those taken into custody in the war on terror.

One section of the draft would outlaw torture and inhuman or cruel treatment, but it does not contain prohibitions from Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions against ``outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment."

Another section would apply the legislation retroactively, according to two lawyers who have seen the contents of the section and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because their sources did not authorize them to release the information.

One of the two lawyers said that the draft is in the revision stage, but that the administration seems intent on pushing forward the draft''s major points in Congress after Labor Day.

``I think what this bill can do is in effect immunize past crimes. That''s why it''s so dangerous," said a third lawyer, Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice.

Fidell said the initiative is ``not just protection of political appointees, but also CIA personnel who led interrogations."

Once again, thanks for the insite into the liberal mind. BLR is very dangerious, it might lead to Jihad.

Okay... English not your first language? That would be ''''insight''''. There is no such word as insite....
and "Jihad"?
A neo con Muslim. Who would have thought it? Just remember there are only about 26% of you to the rest of us. LOL
