FOXNEWS, the official sponsor of all wars against brown people mentions nothing of this.

They were talking about it yesterday saying that there was evidence that Iran was planning suicide speed boat attacks against our navy in the area.

False

I find it interesting that people are ignoring the fact that this happens every time a ship goes through the straights. FFS they have ancient planes flying overhead and small boats making approaches. Why are people giving a crap now.

I disagree with the sentiment that a small craft couldn't get that close.


But I also disagree with the sentiment that this was an act of war.



I don't see how it's possible. Every carrier has a network of support craft providing perimeter security. Every one of those ships has computerized radar systems that work. A missile traveling at mach 1.5 is detected, even inches from the water, targeted and fired upon faster than it can get close.


Years back, Cheney pushed a "news" story about a similar incident.

Ah, found it.

Infowars of course... Seems like the only place left that has real news archives.


Quote:

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh revealed how the neocons convened around Dick Cheney and brainstormed ways to kick off World War IV.

“There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war,” Hersh explained. “The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.”



Here is Hersh's link.

Here is an interview describing the last event in 08 that was being media played like this one today.

See how that works? That's a very calculating media control grid and a very managed public consumer of their social engineering.

I'm not speaking from the position of information exchange but from the position of wargames exercises that were performed I think right after 9/11 when the navy did it's preparedness drills in the region and they gave control of the insurgency to one of our generals and they used speedboats laden with explosives and used the mosques as communication vehicles and were able to cripple the fifth fleet losing one if not two flag carriers of the group in the drills.

I know you remember what I'm talking about, that's all I was meaning is that it IS possible however unlikely it would be.

Are you seriously at that level of denial as to think that we didn't in our quest to get into Iraq and Afghanistan?


You seriously cannot be that willfully ignorant.

I remember Iranian wargames a few years back. Iran has SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles galore. Mach 2.7. Our automated ship defenses have a 10% hit rate against incoming antiship missiles traveling 2.1. If our navy drilled a confrontation against that they wouldn't worry much about a speed boat. There is a reason why you never heard about Japanese suicide boaters.
