Didn’t the Iranians just play battleship with the American ships? Bush said- it wasn’t necessary for them?

What were in those boxes which were dropped by the Iranians?

BTW– COOL picture– the water looks so inviting– maybe not?

I have to back to the cooking thread and tell everyone to check this out—

Unfortunately, one of these days they will succeed…………in either starting an incident, or worse yet, blowing up one of our vessels.

Jen S–

Your answer for Lake Erie has been posted by Adam— finally—

I want my own War ship ……..

Avi–

third strike– war ship–

time to start playing ball again–

The captain and his decisions– almost like the death penalty thread—

John they did already U.S.S. cOLE

In my opinion… they posed a real threat to Navy… saying they were going to explode in two minutes…racing and towards them…. I watched and listened to that video….
they weren’t innocent casual boaters….

I think the Navy should have blown those five boats to bits.

But that’s just me….

one day…. we’re going to get it again.

What was in those boxes? Anthrax–

dirty fighters-

The Cole was basically a terrorist operation. As crude as this may seem, these are offensive military operations by Iran against our warships. The question is why are they provoking us into an attack? What are they hoping to accomplish, militarily and/or politicaly, by having us attack them? Are they baiting us into a trap? This is equal to “taunting the tiger” and you see where that led us.
Many questions with very few answers.

John–

dirty low life fighters—

March 19, 2003 the day the war started and the day my only brother died (but not connected except by the date)

This war is so much different than previous ones. I would imagine that our service men and women had to undergo additional training. The traditional training couldn’t possibly keep up with this day and age. Now their using cell phones and IUDs. You can’t even tell if a man, woman or child is going to blow you up. I never see pictures of the enemy’s uniform. What I see is terrorists dressed in civilian clothing.

Why isn’t Amadinijead stopping those guys from antagonizing our ships? Does he really want us to interact like that?

but Captains make the final determination on the front line.

That a big difference between the UK and US military, if the UK navy was under the same rules those Royal Marines would not have been caught last year, as it was, the captin had to phone london, to ask some beaurocrat if he could blow up the Iranian boat, the reply was No, but even if it had been a Yes it would have been to late. This is one reason i’d much rather be in the US military that the UK’s.
That was the same reason the Germans and then the Americans did so well in the world wars, gave much more control to those risking their lives.

Iran stated that the US “fabricated” warship confrontation video

WOW, let’s get a visual on this one

We (the US) are by someone’s swimming pool, putting little toy boats and a ship in the water, and then using a hair dryer to blow the boats all around the ship, while someone laying in a lounge chair is yelling, we are going to blow you up

Don’t know how Iran figured it out so fast

Karen–

Amadinijead is a dirty low life– and he text messages with Chavez and sends Castro meds for his dialysis—

Amadinijead doesn’t have control of the Revolutionairy guard, he used to be a member, but he is not their leader. They answer to the Ayatollah.

Ahmadinejad,– spelling corrected– too many vowels and consonants to remember the horse’s arse’s name-

Now you have the correct spelling–

How do you spell Adam’s last name?

remember this one? Ali Khamenei—–was preceded by Ayatollah Khomeini

David Letterman better shave his beard– because he is beginning to look like the Ayatollah–

has he shaved it? Conan is still wearing his- as of last night-

i did a reaserach paper on Amijindadd last month for israeli school english …… his life is interesting his family name wasnt oringiallly Aminijdad it was something else which meant somthing of poor class….

He is nuts! btw he has his own blog no joke

Susan: I’ve no clue how to spell Adam’s last name

AVI–

TELL me what his blog is? I want to go visit him– my cop blog is probably getting ticked off with me– so I want to do some real damage– while you are at it–what is Chavez’s blog– I am going to pretend I am Sean Penn and I have decided I don’t like him anymore—

It doesn’t matter to me how myself or anyone else spells the President of Iran’s last name… I don”t have that kind of time to look it up on the internet, I’m sure everyone knows who I am talking about though. I do know how spell Adam’s last name and have posted it correctly many times.

Max—

Adam’s last name– House in the Lai-

Karen–

come on– you know I am having fun— at least you knew who he is– I just know him by the horse’s arse– I had to type in your name of him to get the spelling– true story

Another ” impossible ” decision for the military could happen if there was another 9/11 type attack in progress. When do you determine to shoot down an airliner filled with hundreds of innocent civilians that appears to be headed for a target? I’d hate to be that decision maker.

sus

http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/en/

this is the SOB’S blog

Karen

Horse’s arse on the web brings up too many pages–

Avi– what a hoot– I am going to have some big time fun—

He, whatever his spelling is, is referred to as- His Excellency–

Karen– now we know what to call him–

John,

thats why your not running for president

Karen–

truce?

John: it is probably an easier decision since 9/11, as we know that is a possibility, it had never been done before.

And Avi is way off on the spelling– good job- Avi– only me in Az loves you—

John—

I made the same remark like you did– more or less, up above—

Avi………….the President’s ‘job’ in a situation like I stated above, it appears, would be to listen to a kindergarderner’s reading skills…………lol

Karen–

I am the dumbest one on the block here– why do you think Max, 19, and Avi, 17, are always correcting me? because I am dumb–

John—

now I can understand–Kindergarten– what do they teach there? before I enroll-

If I pass the test– to be able to enroll–

SUS amijdsdsdsadsad and sob i dont care the sob works 2 :@

John , I think the advice would be ” take a nap and deal with it later.” hhaha

I miss pre-k ….. there used to be nap time during schoool…. why dont they have that in highschool ……..

Avi– you must call “IT” or refer to him- Your Excellency– as the blogger did on his blog–

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/01/images/20080109-1_d-0230-4-515h.html

BUSH PICS IN THE HOLY LAND

i tried to post a comment but he didnt let me that basterd …… try tell him his a rotten rat

Susan: you’re not dumb. i don’t correct much, only a very small percentage of what you post. Ok, that is a quite a bit…

Avi– cool pictures and now I know who is your president— President Shimon Peres of Israel

You are busy boy over there– what about bedtime?

Max–

Almost all of what I post-

Avi–

have you been reading my dictionary? bastard?

Susan.. it’s fine don’t worry about it… I am at work and can’t respond too quickly

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/01/images/20080109-3_p10908cg-0403-515h.html

this is a funny one

Karen– hugs? Thanks to you, I learned how to spell his name– but unfortunately, I have forgotten—-

Avi– the fourth picture– I like the wall- almost looks Aztec-

APB ………for ………..DOTTIE (smile)

Thank you!

Avi–
those kids are cute– why are you not in the picture?

I haven’t seen Dottie for awhile– come to think of it– she usually leaves a very sweet message-

He’s NOT MY PRESDIENT!!!!!!!!!! HE IS THERES ….. Im not Israel….. Bush is my President lol

Im temp here on a VISA lol i dont wanna make citzenship lol

the equavilent to the Prez is the PM the President takes up a symbolic role by just being a symbolic figure

Wasnt Dottie to have eye surgery in Jan? or was that you Betty? Sorry…i cant remember.

Patty—

Dottie was in for eye surgery— good memory–

bed time: soon tomarrow i dont start school until 10 :45 soo im staying up a little bit then crashing

P.S. I GOT MY NEW U.S. passport last month its awsome there are pics on every page unlike the new one…..

Adam do you got one of the New ones?

Avi—
you need to get a visa and come stay with me– bring Max

Bring your computer- Max you too–

we will blog on Adam’s till death do us part—-

John, I read the 9/11 Commission Report (it was long). It was hard for me follow exactly who had the authority to make decisions. It was a mess! There was a power struggle between departments. And I mean this includes things that happened leading up to the attack, even when Clinton was in office. What happened in the minutes that followed the first tower being hit was insane. What a horrifying decision to make, do you blow up a plane filled with innocent victims in order to save the lives of other possible victims on the ground, without the knowledge of knowing if the terrorists are going to use that plane as a weapon?

Karen–

I love you—

see you all later—- how fun was this?

Karen-

Clinton was in office? or doing office?

9-11

I remember this one so well– I sat in my dentist chair for over an hour waiting forBrian DDS– he showed up late because of what happened– and told me why he was late– and he was extremely agitated– I am now edentulous — no teeth– thanks to him– Geragos is still working on my lawsuit—-

I’m an american citzen with and only a U.S. passport lol nothing else.. i NEED a visa to live in israel for these long periods of time haha…… not the other way around

Karen i read the 9/11 report as well in 7th grade… i have it on my book shelf still…. first politcal book i read…….. good read alot of details and shows the mistakes ….

Susan: Avi wouldn’t need a visa as he’s American. I wouldn’t need one as the visa waver program would allow me to stay for 90 days, though I will need one when i go to college. but that should be easy to get.

I read the 9/11 report as well, the problem was that there were so many different agencies. No one had control, what is needed is for mergers of various agiencies, it would save money, and allow clear control in similar situations. The department of homland security is a step in the right direction, but we need other agencies merged as well.

Avi…you have to be one of the only 7th graders to read that report!! (atleast the ones i know)
Is school over there, like here? I mean like 7th grade here would make a kid 12(ish) yrs old.

Max, i think thats where the gov’t screws up big time. even as far down the line as i am, none of our offices can get along. It gets so old! We are all supposed to be here for one goal.
example….Why should our office to the very same thing thier office just did, all because they wont share info. grrrrrrrr

Thanks Susan and Patty

I didn’t know about the surgery, only her smile!

YAH it was when i was 12/13ish …… It wasnt to hard to read ….. would do you mean is school over?

oo and i remember my science teacher wanted my book after i finised reading it lol…. i read it during reading time in science class( our school had reading time ) haha

avi…not… is school “over” as in done…it was “over” as in across the water

Max… I sure hope our Government has their act together now.

I can’t imagine what this Captain had to go through when he was confronted with these little boats making threats. I have a lot of respect for him and wish him well. Obviously he’s an excellent Captain.

Adam… I would guess that the time you spent on those ships, you were able to see first hand the attitude of our military. Most of the reports I hear, when it’s coming directly from our soldiers, is they want to be there and they have strong convictions as to why they should be there.

These are extrodinary men and women fighting to keep us safe, all around the world. That includes all of our allies military.

karen: at least he knew he had the option of blowing them out of the water.

Patty: a lot of problems in my life have been caused by people not doing things, because other people said they would do it, but didn’t, and no one told me it was to be done. Socialism has screwed up a lot of my life so far, lol!
Government just needs streamlining, and a lot of things could be passed off to the private sector.

Karen T – I kinda doubt they’re using IUDs in the war … Except for some female military members … LOL … IEDs, yes … LOL

Tiamat: it depends where the suicide bomber places their bomb

Max – Ack!!!! Sadly, I wouldn’t put it past some of those freakin’ terrorists to do something that insane in the membrane …

One of the ships involved in this skirmish is the USS Ingraham … which is home ported here in Everett …

If you stand on the sidewalk at Providence Hospital in Everett … You can see the USS Abraham Lincoln … when she’s in port …

My apologies Tiamat… That was my imprsession of multi-tasking while at work! I stand corrected… IEDs… bah hahahaha

Our military is out making the tough calls all the time. Sadly, we don’t hear much about the positive or great decisions they make, but the bad decisions are the only ones we are going to hear about over and over again on the news for weeks and months. I know that their actions and decisions need to be reviewed, I just wish that there was equal focus placed on the good things they do.

I think this thread should be– Tough Call on the High Thread-

Emily– you peeked in— bless you– I knew the thread- Waiting and Waiting- would become too long of a visit— tee hee-

Terroists— well- they just seem to multiply like littte bunnies— How about poisoning these guys?
Like Eva Braun should have done to her boyfriend? These most omnipotent leaders are the ones who poison the mass– called like Stockholm thinking—

We have to kiss their butts to go by treaties and so on and so on– when these murderers who don’t want to exchange trade in a benelovent manner to help this world get along, because their egotistical low fused brains have to have control—

SO PATHETIC!

The 9-11 report had problems because of the problems of WHO was on the commission … Jamie Gorelick should NOT have been on it … It was she that developed that wouldn’t let the CIA talk to the FBI, which has got to be one of the stupidest things the federal govt has ever done …

Iran is taunting the tiger … and they will get bit …

Susan – Go go some gadgets …

If I were the US Navy, any boat approaching or brazenly circling would be blown to Kingdom Come.
Did we forget the USS Cole?

Susan – Stockholm Syndrome has to do with those held captive / hostage … Sometimes, I think that McCain had it when he was a POW in ‘Nam …

If he was given a chance, I’m pretty sure that Capt Jason Dahl would’ve fought the hijackers like hell … He’s a SJSU Spartan … and they don’t just give up …

Susan – Dave got shaved on Monday’s show … Well, partly … They finished him off on a commercial break … LOL … Actually, I thought it was kinda funny seeing him with the beard …

Has Iran or anybody else accused us of doctoring the tapes yet ?

Adam– stop ignoring me—

as for your remark—I was on board the Sir Percival —

Emily posted this on one of the POD–
do you remember?

Signed and sigh now,

Your very ex- Personal Assistant

Tiamat– maybe Dave is still in hiding from his stalker from the 18th century– who the hell would stalk him? I would be so tired of listening to his putting me down attitude! Is he the one who married Nancy Grace?

Betty–
I see you over at Greta’s all the time– I MISS you here!

Dottie is a good one– she always has a cheerful remark–

hope you see this– xxxxx

Adam

Thanks, I saw the tapes last night but left the room before they started talking about it.

So when are the predictions for WW111?

Jeff-

Hi!

Tiamat–

Senator McCain was born around Panama– water logged! He owes everything to his dad—

Stockholm- captive–you don’t have to be in a cage– maybe brainwashed, is what I should have used

Susan – No, Dave’s not married … He’s shacking up with his baby momma … err, I mean a gal named Regina who used to work on his show …

Adam–
in response to your comment to Avi about the psycho in Iran– yes– the email address can be tracked– but here is a taste of his only- very only- first introductory paragraph-

A Guideline for Islamic Governance 2007/12/01
In the Name of Almighty God, the All-Knowing, the Most Lovingly Compassionate

One’s perspective regarding government and governance determines the way one ?should cooperate with the people. If one recognizes government as a privilege and prey ?of the governors, then the period of governance can be counted as an opportunity to fulfill ?the expectations of certain individuals and groups or the ostentation and hedonism of the ?governors.?

But if in our view, “government” would be a responsibility before God for ?establishing justice and a duty to ensure the rights of common people, serving the ?servants of God and helping the oppressed- then the most important issue will be the ?people’s concerns. If this is the case, governors would not view themselves as better than ?other people and they wouldn’t put themselves in any other position except serving the ?people……. blah and blah and blah ?

Tiamat–

see what happens when I don’t pay attention– Dave is single– time for me to start stalking him–
he will pay me to stay away– you want to share the monies?

Adam–

pay me- and I will stay away– but I have to share– so make it a good lump–
thanks

Tiamat–

I am going to become ostentatious and hedonistic as the Iranian freak-

Did you check out the small part of what I copied from the freak’s article?

Comment by Adam Housley
January 9th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Avi-

If you become a citizen, you’ll have to serve…right?

Adam
_________________________________________________________

of course Avi is going to serve- the same day as you– because you guys are buds–

Susan – Dave has been married … to his college sweetheart (at Ball State Univ) … That was a long time ago … But, now it’s Dave, Regina & lil Harry (and the bear that came to visit them in their Montana “cabin”) …

Tiamat–

Is Regina of age? or like stupid?

Susan – Which freak’s article?? You mean Satan’s blog?? Not yet …

But, you know darn well that they’re tracking email addies, IP numbers as well as which site you “came from” to get there …

Mahmoud = Satan incarnate … plain & simple … That or he was rejected for the remake of “Planet of the Apes” …

Tiamat–

my perfect man would be one who would drop a nice check to take care of the home, and then go on Lake Erie for about forever–

Susan – I think Regina’s prolly around 40yo … I can’t even remember her name … LOL … Supposedly, Dave’s a different guy when he’s not in front of the cameras … LOL

Tiamat–

my favorite thing to say when in confrontation– I fear not the devil, much less you-

Tiamat–

have you something about Dave I don’t know

As long as he reads Walden Pond— I can more or less like him!

which Planet of the Apes?

Didn’t Charlton Heston do one? with Roddy?

Susan-

Hello

Well– it looks like I am just engaged with me here– time to go check out my favorite cop’s site–
LAPD corruption thread– psychoglogicalcop–

Jeffie–
hi–

I was about ready to wander– is the zoo quiet tonight?

Tiamat– Dave had a bear at his house? did he give the bear cheetos? I hope! or did Jack Hanna have to like text him to tell him- leave the bear alone?

FYI for Betty

Dottie was on the last Picture of the Day thread, but have not seen since. She was shacking up in Florida at some time share place and had limited time on line or something. Don’t think she committed to eye surgery last she said.

We’ll watch for her…. just doing my job as ASSistant to the Personal ASSistant.
cc:Susan

Well–

I guess you figured out I can’t stand him- David— but give me a day with Jay– I think he would not give a chara if my clothes were not fitted right– and that Howard Stern– not Anna’s killer- the a** who makes fun of women– so glad he is not on the tele anymore!!! Robin– his little giggle side kick should be offended at how he just mocks and belittles women and people who are disadvantaged– I hope the jerk reads this!

Jen:

Good job– your pay increase will be in your next check

Signed,
Adam Housley

cc: Susan

Susan – Yes bear … No cheetos … No Jack Hann … Bear walked through door … Dave & co got outta house …… Bear roamed in the house … Bear eventually walked out the door … DAve had pix on his show after it happened … I think it was in 2006 …

Tiamat–

Goldie Locks? I would have set a plate for the bear- and a bed for him to sleep-
I must have been watching March of the Penguins— again!

Tiamat–

my birthday is in August– will you buy me a penguin only if my personal assistant approves?

thank you–

Jen-

Read all of Dottie’s notes from past threads – I think, as Patty stated, Dottie’s eye surgery, was this month– Maybe at the end of this month?

Keep me informed-

Signed,
Your boss

Adam–

before I wander off– your picture– did you ever see the divers in Acapulco? From the point of where the picture was taken on this thread, as to how far one could dive, do you think it is possible to make that plunge without a broken back?

Signed,

Here is a fun true cop story— and I copied it from the cop’s site– and I don’t think he will yell at me

I’m Amphibious!

When I was a police officer, in North Carolina, we had one particular individual who was a long time dealer in street pharmacuticals. I got the arrest one day when he was finally caught with product on him. We got to the jail and as I was filling out the arrest report, I asked him the very last question on the form “handedness”, “Are you right handed or left handed”? This guy looks right at me, puffs out his chest with pride, as he tells me “I can write with both hands, I’m amphibious”!
submitted 12.25.07

Susan—

So Sorry—I was busy picking up your crumbs on GO GO Gadgets, AND
I also had to stand up for Jesus on the letal inj. thread for YOU!!!!!!

signed- tired and worn out just like Adam

P.S. I’m sleeping in and calling in sick tomorrow.
AND I can’t do the Carnival on the 15th; I’m not a clown.

Jen S–

I know– you won’t be seeing my name as frequently– starting tomorrow– only because now I have to really work– my Judge friend is back from his vacation, and I have to be at the Justice Court early tomorow–

It has been a hoot here– but then there is life–

talk with you, maybe late tomorrow—

P.S. Carniveral is just cops hanging out and sharing their stories– the person who posted his site here with Adam, on the LAPD thread, is very cool– and he has a lot to offer as with his thoughts- and the stories there are real fun–

Susan-

I saw a story on the news last night about some guy posing as a cop and pulling people over getting caught because one of the people he pulled over was a real cop. Doh !

Adam… I had no idea… looking now… this will be interesting!

OO adam,

i found the blog when i was on the foregin policy magazine website……. oo you should go renew your passport agian its beyond cool theres quotes by famous americans onthe top of every page and a pics to as i said before like for instance mount rushmore …. and the page were your picture is on the old passport which is really boreing is all pimped out ….. and the cover the eagle is in GOLD!

http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/1209/p12s01-stct.html

HERE IS a backround of the new passport ….o snap

I thought we had 1/2 mile security bubble around our ships? If some lunatic is screaming over the radio and coming at us at 60mph, hose him down when he gets to 600yds. That’s 200 inside the bubble and that’s called intent. Make sure it’s all caught on video with the appropriate audio dubbed in. -Rod-

Susan: have fun at your work!

Rod……….that’s what makes no sense. The Iranians know full well what our “buffer” zone is before we defend ourselves when provoked and history has shown that we will defend ourselves. The question is, why are they provoking us into an attack? They know full well the deadly capabilities of our navy ships. Are they trying to see how we counteratteck so they can learn how to attack us succesfully? Are they performing “dry-runs” for some sinister future attack? Are they under orders from Tehran, or are these rogue elements of the Iranian armed forces just raising some hell?
So many questions, besides the obvious ,”are these guys idiots?”, come up.

the aebloo is me…

Terrorist, gotta love them, I would love to set up a terrorist training camp, a lot like the boot camp I went to for the US Army, we could issue them uniforms and feed them great army chow, PT the hell out of them. Give them some pride and training. Teach them survival skills, and basic hand to hand combat. Make them all excellent marksman. We could even teach them how to wear suicide vests properly. Teach them to scope out where to detonate at to cause the most damage. We could outfit them with vests that work like “miles” gear (old army guys will remember that but for the rest think “laser tag) they could run into crowded streets and “detonate” their training vest and see how much damage they would have caused. Towards the end of their training, when they are all amped up and ready to kill we could get them all excited about passing the “live fire” range. march them out to a field and have the first guy run into the field and detonate with his real vest “ooooooooh” we could all exclaim as he gets blown to hell “nice job” lets get the next guy in the shoot and see if he does better, keep all of those guys highly motivated as they wait in line to demonstrate what they have learned. We could put names on the walls for those that detonated themselves the best and keep those guys trying to out perform the guy that detonated in front of him. then when that entire “graduating class” has passed the live fire and all that remains is a pile of blown to bits carcasses, all of us trainers can go take a piss on them and get ready for our next rotation of recruits while the bulldozers clean up the “terrorist live fire range”….just a thought

off subject…

‘morning Adam, did you ever tell us about the San diego story? and wasnt it to air today?

Waiting for you to post on our border patrols being attacked.

My one question, where was the video taken from?

Adam.. do you think that you can change your blog,

so that after a hundred comments (or so)

the most current comments can be up top?

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/01/10/we-interrupt-the-campaign-season-for-a-border-reality-check/

Off subject………….just got a call from a buddy of mine who’s vacationing in Ecuador with his wife. That volcano, Tungurahua(sp?) is getting ready to blow. They’re about 85 miles to the north of the volcano in the capital,Quito and they’re being warned that this could be a really big eruption at any time. Possible effecting the city itself with ash and lava fallout if the volcano explodes……….ala Mt. St Helens. Some scary stuff down there

Adam

Thanks for commenting on my swimming pool, toy boats analogy – 1/9/08-4:05pm. Hope you also know I was being very sarcastic.

Also agree that the foreign press will treat this claim on facts instead of skepticism which is the proper and correct way to handle this.

I just could not believe that he thinks we (US) have nothing better to do than to fabricate videos against his country.

Must say, I am a Leo and this old (oops-mature) lioness had to roar on this one!!!!!

I saw a story on that yesterday John, scary is right, i cant even begin to imagine.

Here is a link to one of Adam’s bogs when he was on the USS Erie. It’s a good read and gives minute by minute account of what took place when they did the simulated missile launch. The “Day Four” link will have you on the edge of your seat.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,269060,00.html

There’s other blogs I’m reading now.

Adam…I can’t find the blogs for the USS Reagan or the USS Milius. Do you have a link handy that you can post please?

What I found interesting, aside from the missile testing itself, was the use of contractors in the Navy. I heard that in Irag we are even contracting out the mess hall duties. I heard a report that said it cost $16 per meal per soldier and if the soldier gets back inline to eat again another $16 was added onto our bill. On the USS Erie there were Navy guys who had their own responsibilities but also spent time in the mess hall.

In Adam’s blog (I posted the link above), on the USS Erie, Adam mentioned that there were contractors from Lockheed (and other companies for other reasons), the ones that developed the radar eguipment/system to intercept missiles. I can see why those contractors were there.

None the less… the simulated missile launch was a success. I thought it was nice how Adam connected some of the crew with their families through that particular blog. The crew, through Adam’s eyes, seemed to have a lot of respect for their captain. Including Adam who suddenly felt the need to tuck in his shirt even tighter when he saw that crew members were hustling to get their uniforms flaw free when the captain walked in. I got a good laugh out of that one!

from your comments above: I have spent enough time with the military to tell you they will not let Cole happen again.

Do you believe the Iranians said this about Vincennes?

Bold statement Mr Housley I understand that you are making a point but all you have is reporter experience. That is your only measurement. There are many Lessons Learned from many incidents we- –The US— do not want to happen again. But no one has a crystal ball and reporters nor pollsters have the capability of telling that fortune.

Now with that said I hope your not offended and are able to accept this as Americas constructive criticism regarding the news. What America is concerned about is what the majority wants to tolerate and if it will be a physical or financial impact. Hopefully we as a whole (US) take that in complete considerationwhen we exchange leadership upon this election year

After review of the videos on TV, it’s clear that they were also shouting threatening comments back in response to the warning given them by the Navy officer.

The basic premise is that we ARE at war with the Jihadists and fundamental terrorists making up Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, etc.

Those boats were also much faster than the one which hit the USS Cole.

Respectfully, we should have torched them.

Hi Jeff–

the pshych.cop is a real cop– trust me– he has some good read and he is a nice guy too- I sent him some pictures and he acknowledged them– which I thought he was cool- he protects his site because my email I believe was screened– check him out–

Having spent 4 years in the Navy, all be it 1964 to 1968, there is one thing that you learn, “The more manuverable ship give way in case of incursion”. With what appeared to be (cigar type) speed boats, there was no time for political thoughts to have even been considered. The Captains first consideration always is the same, the saftey of his ship and crew. He failed.
