No offense, but that's patently false. What happened in the Straights was far more than "two speed boats in sight of US warships." Have you watched the video?

The boats were weaving back and forth less than 200 yards from multiple US warships, dropping unidentified packages into the water and threatening to blow the ships up. The fact the Navy didn't open fire just blows my mind.

Have you already forgotten about the USS Cole?

Unless bob or you knows arabic (or whichever dialect they feel like using this week) you are trusting some one else to translate what they are saying.

First of all, they aren't speaking Arabic, they're speaking Farsi. Iran is a Persian nation and they still speak a modern dialect of the Persian language (Dari).

Second, there are enough Farsi speakers out there to have called BS if the US translation was completely off the mark. I encourage you to find such a person.

Time for me to just assume some language I didn't know was arabic instead of saying crazy made up space language and move on to another subject: 7 minutes.

Time for bob to wikipedia and google his way to finding what the correct language in hopes of sounding smrt (yes intentional, nazi): 2 hours 43 minutes.

Now how do I send a kick in the nuts through the mail?

I didn't read that, although I suppose it is possible (no matter how unlikely.) Regardless of where the transmission came from, the people on those boats are damn lucky they aren't sleeping with the fishes right now. Getting that close to a warship in an already precarious situation is just retarded.

Besides, what is the likelihood that somebody made a radio transmission with such an ominous transmission at the exact same time that boats were pulling their shenanigans? I've got a better chance of getting Wes's Mom pregnant from another state.

What do you think of Obadiah Shoher's views on the Middle East conflict? One can argue, of course, that Shoher is ultra-right, but his followers are far from being a marginal group. Also, he rejects Jewish moralistic reasoning - that's alone is highly unusual for the Israeli right. And he is very influential here in Israel. So what do you think? uh, here's the site in question: Middle East conflict
