1. and we've got them in the IDF-IAF cross hairs!
(02.20.11)
this is because the best little AirForce in the whole wide world is on top of things! (and to all of you who might even think of laughing at this TB, just remember who it was that TOOK OUT the Iraqi Reactor and the Syrian Reactor) Shomer, Shomer Israel!
2. If Hezbolla attacks any Jews worldwide, SINK them!
Judo ,   Canada   (02.20.11)
3. sink them
avraham ,   nyc   (02.20.11)
4. looks like she just came out of jutland ! LOL
ilan ,   nazareth   (02.20.11)
5. Very suspicious
Adam Helberg ,   USA   (02.20.11)
A cargo ship accompanied by a warship is a very suspicious combination. Makes me think they are delivering some very sensitive material that they do not want intercepted.
6. Find a nice deep area
Steve ,   USA   (02.20.11)
Have them develop rudder problems somewhere that's too far to swim from. Or perhaps tow them out front of the Gaza Riviera and sink them in about 50 feet of water (after offloading all the missiles in Ashdod first). We'd be contributing to the flourishing tourist trade they've got in the form of a new diving reef . Tourists from as far away as Hezbollistan (used to be called Lebanon) will come to enjoy the new Phenomenon. The Navy should leave the ships in enough water so the antennas are sticking out of the water. An Iranian flag could be hung from it for tourist photos. Meanwhile back in Teheranistan... The Monkey Master himself is seething and orders more ships to the Med. A year later...... Tourists in Gaza's Riviera district are able to dive among miles of beautiful, shiny Iranian warships.
7. I think this is the first ones
Ali ,   October 6 City-Egypt   (02.20.11)
8. How could Egypt do that? The peace treaty should mean someth
Egypt bows to Iran ,   World   (02.20.11)
thing and if it doesnt , and they aid or abhet the enemy or become it then we get the sinai back. i just dont see how or why egypt just totally bowed to iran
9. Egypt bows to Iran, take back Sinai.
Jae ,   US   (02.20.11)
10. #6 israel is too coward to do it
jad ,   triboly   (02.20.11)
11. #1 Too cowardly to pull the trigger!??
Wissam ,   Palestine   (02.20.11)
Or to type your name! Bye bye US influence, good riddance. America is now despised the world over.
12. Wow : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.20.11)
Where's the "Israeli" reaction, hey Lieberman ?! I'll be waiting, Don't disappoint me! ha
13. Maybe really headed for Gaza?
bjl ,   usa   (02.20.11)
Sounds like an Iranish thing to do.
14. #3 think of it!, they can sink yours, toooooo
observer ,   Egypt   (02.20.11)
15. Seek a Veto @ UN
Jack   (02.20.11)
ask the Americans to veto this action for you, even though it agrees with the international law (Suez Canal the treaty of the Suez Canal to which a signatory obliges it to allow free passage through the waterway)
16. Iran lies... in other news Pope found to be Catholic
Danny   (02.20.11)
17. Iranian warships transit Suez Canal
Annette ,   Israel/USA   (02.20.11)
And they're probably not carrying tomatoes to the citizens of Syria, or wherever they're going. I'd assume nuclear reactor parts and weapons of mass destruction. And does anyone believe that making peace with the "Palestinians" would change the minds and hearts of the crazed dictators--religious and secular--of Iran?
18. NEWSFLASH :SHIPS HAVE PASSED
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.20.11)
According to sky news ,iranian ships have already passed through the suez canal ,time now is 12:04 .
19. Iranian warship
JUDAH THE LION   (02.20.11)
Should Israel be threaten by the Iranian, Israel must inform the world,unless the Iranian warship goes back to Iran,Israel will have full right to sink them from the air.
20. Salma Wow
JUDAH THE LION   (02.20.11)
Salma,one thing you must remember DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT underestimate LIEBERMAN & ISRAEL. For sure Salma our hero LIEBERMAN will not disappoint you. GUARANTEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD sweety
21. How generous
(02.20.11)
Target practice paid for by Iran.
22. Not so sure this is ONLY about grandstanding Israel
Mr Green ,   Manchester   (02.20.11)
This is also about the colonisation of Lebanon and Syria Im beginning to doubt the sanity of young Assad Because the way Ah MAD inejad and his military (just folow the chatter) see this as a gradual ceceding of Syrian self determination to the Mullahs of Iran He constantly attempts to 'cleverly' play one side off against the other - but if hes not careful he could wake up one morning to find Ah MAD inejad in his bed. Youve heard the English expression - Too clever BY HALF!
23. Iranian ships
02.11.20.   (02.20.11)
regardless how many, sink them. And keep at it until not the tiniest little rowing boat can get through. The little chimpanzee must be doing it in his pants.
24. #20 thaaaaaanks, I can feel better right now : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.20.11)
But please JUDAH, not on the Syrian - Iranian way, I mean stay away from Gaza and Lebanon....we want to see your "heroic" directly in Tehran. good luck !
25. Amusing...
Tim ,   Brighton   (02.20.11)
The moment that the ships enter the Med they will be followed by: Israeli, Cyprus, Greek, French, Italian, British, US Med Fleet, Russian and Egyptian warships All super sensitive to any possible agressive move by Ahmadinejad in the Med The captain had better not fart too loudly!
26. Wissam&Salma from where? #11&12
martin ,   EU   (02.20.11)
no such country called "palestine" exist on the world map.
27. Israel vs. Iran
macktheknife   (02.20.11)
I was always under the impression that Israel had nukes !!! If they haven't, somebody is lying... hmmm?
28. WHY?
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (02.20.11)
Why shouldn´t they pass?. WAKE UP ISRAEL.The only friends left in the world you have for now, judging from the result of the last United nations Security Consel voting, is the USA. Israel should have a place in the area but why doesn´t it want to have a normal healthy relationship with its neighbors? It´s been over 60 years now. WAKE UP.
29. #5 My same thoughts exactly, Adam
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (02.20.11)
...it could also be that these carpet merchants are picking up sanction-busting cargo delivered to Syria by North Korea. Pure conjecture mind, yet of equal concern
30. Iran War ships
Jon Shenkin ,   UK   (02.20.11)
Israeli has a capable Naval Submarine Deterant in addition to its ships,this maybe provocation on the Iranian Side, or an overt Attempt to see what what Israels military or strategic response would be,and we do not realy know also what is inside the iranian ships?
