The U.S. fleet will now be flying the "Irony" flag.

Well done.

God bless our Navy for doing the right thing.

If the "Law of the Sea" could somehow be applied to highways, the world would truly be a better place.

Good stuff. All of the Iranians I've ever met are very nice people. They know how shitty it is in their home and appreciate North America very much.

I used to work with many Iranian sailors who literally jumped ship after the Shah was overthrown. Nice folk. Iranic sense of humor, too.

They were electronic techs. Just so you know.

Since Tosser's suspended let me do it:

"Sure, the US probably faked the whole thing to make themselves look good. You hicks all live in trailer parks."

Let's get something straight here, I believe it was some asshole general in the Iranian army who was making threats about the US carrier. It has now morphed into Tehran threatening us. The War Machine begins ramping up.

You have it straight. But what of it? Should we simply abandon the international waterway? What would you have us do?

#5 - Usually school friends. Although a few were acquaintances of my Mother - friends, coworkers, etc.. I've never asked anyone at the corner store where they came from. Why would you do that? Pay for your shit and leave.

Did we discuss my skin color? Here's a hint: No.

Something I think everyone here should peek at.

Do the conservative thing. Let the oil companies and sudistanis protect their own damn shit, rather than spend billions on corporate welfare. If they can't/won't, conserve a measly 15% more oil and tell the ME to go fuck itself.

It ain't that hard.

Where did the hatred for Iran come from? What did they do to the USA and not as told by US media or neocon propaganda.

Well, why does it have to be US doing anything about the Strait of Hormuz. All of the other oil producing countries in the region are going to suffer, why don't they do something about it?
But first of all, why doesn't the pathetic 24 hour crapfest called our "media" send someone over there to interview the President of Iran or Iran's Secretary of State or even just people on the street instead of repeating the same shit that this General said over and over again?

...a combination of years of indoctrination, and a population that's too lazy to learn history.

Agreed.

#9 I see Verm the racist is back.

Iran has said "thank you". Rat bastards!

Is this an attempt of the administration to play footize with the Mulah's hoping they will decide to play nice.

Jimmy Carter,the Shah,they held our embassy captive for I believe 290 days.What else would like to know about the peace loving Muslims?

Why can't the all powerful Iranian navy take care of it's own. If they can't deal with pirates good luck on the threats to the US.

Our ship just happened to be in the right place at the right time. If an Iranian ship had been handy, they would have done the rescue.

You're not gonna find a lot of love for pirates in any man's navy.

An individual on POTUS talk radio with Llewellyn King made a crucial observation about USA foreign policy today.

He said "the USA must start dealing with the world the way it is instead of always attempting to meddle and change it to what it wants, which is costly, creates animosity, reduces respect for the USA, and is next to impossible.

Ron Paul hits the nail on the head with his philosophy on this.

Yes he sure did.

Excellent example. See post #18.
Can't even be bothered to look up the number of days the hostages were held.
Moron.

It wouldn't take more than a few hundred thousands rounds of 50 caliber ammunition to get rid of all those pesky pirates, but Barry lacks the will to do it.

How many were returned to the states alive? And as pointed already your 290 number is wrong. Your a douche.

Obama the Pirate Slayer strikes again.
