31. shoot back at these iranian "warships"
(01.07.08)
32. BRAVE IRANIANS FLEE WHEN U.S. SOUNDS BATTLE STATIONS.
(01.08.08)
So brave... so full of ( I cant finish it... ROTLMAO!!!!) :-) Cant wait for the real action. Good bye Iran.
33. 19 You agree with 1and 17
Bill H. ,   Oregon, USA   (01.08.08)
No.....the war on terror is at least partly real. It's the war on drugs that is totally bogus.
34. USA'S VERSION IS DISTORTED....#28
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.08.08)
Jellybean,to write in the talk-back and enjoy reading your version is a momentary pleasure. Bush is travelling to the Middle East bit too late and without anything in hand to create what he calls 'coalition' against Iranian aggression.Something had to be done.The incident of naval ship encounter was an attempt to create an issue.Let me tell you Jellybean.Dont consider Iranians to be naive.The USA is not going to get such easy targets inreal situations.Some surprises are in store for people like you.That is the reason why USA naval ships come in and go for the last 18 months,without making up their minds whether to go ahead with their mischieves or not.So far they have refrained and very rightly so.Dont be stupid to believe that with 5 small gunboats Iranians had any intentions to confron the USA Navy.
35. deja vu?
shmulke ,   w coast, USA   (01.08.08)
I can see that a lot of folks here don't know much about the US history with the Iranians in the Persian Gulf. It's not the first time the Iranians were aggressive @$$holes: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4442/is_200711/ai_n21099485
36. mahmood let me just say that the only threat that the USA
jack bauer   (01.08.08)
and others face from iran, arabs, or any other islamofacists......is that people like you are allowed to roam free within the western countries unchecked. you say"Dont be stupid to believe that with 5 small gunboats Iranians had any intentions to confron the USA Navy." but they dont have much else to confront anyone with since their limited navy is CRAP so a boghammer with a big bomb in it is probably the best they could manage. the US should have blown them out of the water as soon as they dropped anything in front of them
37. Paper Tiger
Dan ,   USA   (01.08.08)
The U.S. has become a paper tiger. Bush will do evrything in his power, including sustaining American or Israeli casualties, not to have to confront Iran with fire power. Meanwhile this type of stance is viewed as a weakness to middle eastern countries.
38. What Was In The Boxes

40. mahmOOd..Talkback's "Baghdad BoB" :-)
(01.08.08)
Keep talking it up son, that''s all you guys are good for. TALK. (BTW, where is bob these days?)
41. Careful, Mahmoud.....
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.08.08)
Jimmy Carter's no longer in charge, and the patience of this "cowboy" of ours is not, at all, like that of the peanut farmer. It wouldn't be wise on your part to give him an excuse to leave the White House with a real big bang.
42. A LOT MORE TO COME...............#36
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.08.08)
Describing Iranian prepardness as CRAP is in your dictionary,Jack.Let the Americans go beyond the present plying of their ships to and from the Persian Gulf.The moment the mischivious act begin, the Iranians will unleash their power to show who is who.In terms of writing it in tal-back,you may please yourself in believing what you are meant to believe. By sheer coincidence,Bush is not carrying any geniune reason to talk about Iran in his up coming trip.Something had to happen and will happen to give him some cause to talk to the neighbours. Blowing the Iranian Navy will be reciprocated,Jack.Remain assured of that.Have a nice day.
43. 39 WHAT DO YOU MEAN
CAROL ,   EILAT   (01.08.08)
IT IS POSSIBLE DO YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION INTERESTING TO KNOW MAYBE RELATED TO THE WORLD ORDER
45. USA is too soft
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (01.08.08)
I am not American, but I simply don't understand why the Americans didn't pursue the Iranians and sink them. You don't just threaten the US Navy and walk away as if nothing happened. An attack on US navy, army or air force, is indeed a declaration of war on the USA. The Iranians on the other hand, are trying to get away with their filthy crime by denying the severity of the crime. I'm disappointed with the US - it is too soft for my taste.
46. Mark is on progressive drugs..Mahmood is on
exposing the idiots   (01.08.08)
His prayer mat in London,crawling out of his trojan horse. You guys should be penpals.
47. TALKING TO REAL IDIOT.........#46
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.08.08)
Have been actually waiting for an idiot to think and believe otherwise.We found one fortunately.And the idiot does not even disclose his name.
48. Mahmood and I see the lies/deception
Mark ,   USA   (01.08.08)
Do not believe everything that is printed. There is news for the people and then there is the real news behind the scenes. Why should i believe the USA government? They lie,lie,lie,lie,lie,and lie!
49. to #48
ADI   (01.09.08)
MAHMOOD AND YOU ARE BOTH IGNORANT!!
50. NO IGNORANCE BUT FACTS........#49
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.09.08)
Ignorance is reflected when the end results turn out to be other than the so called 'ignorant's' every time.You will be amazed that the socalled video of the approaching 'Iranian' boats is a fake video.Watch it closely!!!Are you mad to believe that small speedboats would approach heavily armed ships in a threatening way???No way, and Iranians have much more in store to use 5 speeding boats to 'threaten' the Americans.However,see the whole episode once again.You must also remember that Bush needs to have something fresh to bring upon regional countries to sustain so called threats from the Iranian regime.Dont be ignorant,ADI.
