    The movie 300 is what it will be like when Iran attacks us back. We DO NOT want to go to war with the whole freakin muslim world OK!!!!!!!!!!! China and Russia will get involved.......read putin's speech if you don't belive me. This could be very bad!
  • Herostratus, on 10/12/2007, -8/+9Here we go! Now they have their excuse to start yet another war of conquest. Can't wait for the draft to start! I'll be watching this one closely.

    Strats
    • imperium2000, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Right. Iran kidnaps British soldiers and it's the US and Britain's fault.
    • Mik1984, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Imperium2000,
      They were doing this for weeks inside Iranian waters. They were begging for this.
  • spyd3rweb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"U.S. officials had expressed concern that with so much military hardware concentrated in the Persian Gulf, just such a small incident could spiral out of control and trigger a major armed confrontation."

    oh gee thats right i knew we put 2 huge carrier strike groups in those waters for a reason. THEY'RE BEGGING FOR IT TO HAPPEN.
    • stallion4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Or orchestrating it. Take your pick.
  • goldylocks7621, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8One thing is a very good bet: if the US goes through with attacking Iran the the repercussions are doing to be severe in a best case scenario and a disaster in a worst case scenario.
  • TimeandSpace, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6Ya this is so BS. Another false-pertext story made up by the controlled media...
  • DarrenPollard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Problem - Reaction - Solution - When will they come up with something original? History sure repeats itself!
  • trnscndr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Title deceiving; Gulf of Tonkin never actually happened, proven historical fact. Faked to excuse entry into war. This suggests the same maybe true here.
    • stallion4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3And?
    • stallion4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hey trnscndr. I could have sworn your post read "This (doesn't) suggest the same maybe true here"

      My bad.
  • Seiesnalli, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9WW3, here we go.
  • Mik1984, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This should go to the front page! Such matters shouldn't be discussed in the back room.
  • _jinx_, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'd go to jail before they put a gun in my hand... I pray that this won't start WW3.
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Seriously, I'd rather be bored for a few years than scared out of my mind for a few years (or dead).
  • WANABEE4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Luckily, a BBC TV news team has been onboard HMS Corwall for the past 48 hours....phew, honest, reliable reporting right when you need it.

  • Osbourne, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Just start the war already! It's all talk and no action with you wussies.

    I can't wait till China comes and nukes all of you.
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That's not creepy or anything, wishing that millions of people would get nuked...
  • svarnado, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9This is a BAD sign...watch for another FALSE FLAG Operation in the coming days...Remember, how did Israel start last year’s war in Lebanon? By sending patrols of Israeli soldiers into Lebanon until some of them were kidnapped.

    Two main carrier battle groups, and two smaller marine helicopter assault groups have been lined up in the Persian gulf for months waiting to be attacked in a false-flag operation: The USS Stennis Battle Group, USS Eisenhower Battle Group, The USS Bataan marine helicopter assault group. Finally, the USS Boxer marine helicopter assault group arrived at the Port of Dubai on Jan. 30. There are rumors that the Commander of the Boxer resigned from duty rather than report to the gulf, presumably because he knew what was going to happen and wanted no part of it. It is also rumored that the USS Ronald Regan is preparing to leave San Diego. The Official pentagon attack plan went public weeks ago. The plan is to bomb Iran’s infrastructure for months on end. Every major analyst has said that the US Dollar will absolutely tank after this attack begins. Newt Gingrich threatens to end the First Amendment if we go to full scale war.

    The prominent scholar, Webster Tarpley, has been warning about this since 2005. Here is more info for those who are interested:

    DON'T BE FOOLED WHEN THE ATTACK OCCURS. WE KNOW WHO THE REAL TERRORISTS ARE.
    • yonoz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You know, even the UN and Al-Jazeera reported the kidnapping took place inside Israeli territory.
      But I don't suppose you'll let that ruin your fun.
  • shootdashit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if the people chose not to fight, they could not make us.
  • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The only possible way the US could attack Iran is to withdraw almost all of our troops from Iraq. Sure, it'd be a convenient excuse to leave Iraq, but also very difficult.

    Either way, Congress would never allow it. If Bush goes to war with Iran, he's getting impeached and the war won't get funded. Unless, of course, Iran gets the bomb, in which case all bets are off.
  • futureisours, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1I can't wait until the bombing begins. This little conflict will be over within 2 hours. Worse the Iranians can do will be to try to send hamas and other terrorists into Iraq. Gee, it's not like they're doing this anyway are they? Big deal.
    • gangstawhiteboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4do you understand that millions of innocent Iranians who go about there day just like you but with different religoun are going to be killed, no wait most likely completely wiped out. Im an American, and i can tell this is *****. Imagine if Iran had one of its battle ships just posted up near Cuba because there at war with Mexican terrorists. Would you not be scared just a lil bit that they would attack us. Well thats how they feel multiplied by like a million because our gov't is so damned corrupt. We create problems just so we can react and then come up with a solution that best fits their globalist idea. Wow i was feeling good that we were winning but it just shows that the Globalists are not done. If you need proof just check out Bill O'Reilly lately. The man has been lieing profusely and its so easy to see it if your informed. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you.....THEN WE WIN
    • Infinite84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You're completely wrong, if this goes down it's gonna be way worse than Iraq & may actually kick off WWIII with Russia & China.
  • AznWarlord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i better start training for ww3, oh well there goes the usa.
    • goldylocks7621, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It sounds almost like you want it to happen.
  • kane4501, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1fool me once shame on you fool me twice .......not going to fool me agian

    • gangstawhiteboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1***** THE NWO, i will never succumb to this kind of *****. I'll die b4 i see my country completely run into the dirt. STAND UP AND FIGHT
  • noTyranny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+115 British sailors and marines who were as usual spying and were arrested by the Irani forces. The Iranian ambassador went to the Foreign Office and left with doubts as to when the Iranis kidnapped by the Brits and US forces will be released.
    Bush said: "The Iranian people are good, honest, decent people and they've got a government that is a mirror image of US "belligerent, loud, noisy, threatening — a government which is in defiance of the rest of the world and says, 'We want to continue and USE nuclear weapons.'" and send the world to hell.
