Some Gut Reactions
Straw straw everywhere
The pentagon/administration gets caught in a lie AGAIN. And suddenly anyone that calls them out hates Bush, hates the troops, is undermining America, doesn't like apple pie, and is an Alan Colmes fan.
Denial denial goes well with alcohol
Are you going to deny that such a speedboat put a hole in USS Cole? Yes you stupid fuk, one was Iranian military in radio contact with our navy in international waters, the other a private vessal in port.
"These speedboats had no reason to be that close to our warships." We of course have all the reason in the world to be so close to their waters. Like if Iran had a few warships skirting international waters right outside of our eastern ports, that would be fine. We wouldn't mind at all.
Assertions assertions all the rage
"you'd be incredibly stupid to ride a motorcycle in a threatening manner at high speed directly at a police officer and then run rings around his cruiser (in a neighborhood where other police had been brutally killed)"
Threatening manner is your assertion, and is clearly not in evidence. And WTF are you talking about - what military has been killed in the international waters where this occurred? Assertions do not well support conclusions.
Let's all get get together
Sure the political leadership lies to your face and doesn't give a shit if you know it, but why can't all us Americans just get along...(neocon bats his eyelashess)
Politely put - Inadequate facility to discriminate between ass and elbow
"the simple fact is that if any of those boats had been armed with a modern ant-ship missile we could have lost a ship or two and they [Iran] would have lost only a couple of speedboats in exchange." Oh sure - starting a war with the greatest, biggest, most destructive military force in the history of the world comes free of charge to the Iranians.
