   Leave it to the kooks at democratic underground to start screaming about the Gulf of Tonkin.

   LOL !

   Fat Tone beat me to that statement.

   What our ships should have done is fired warning shots with their 5 inch guns when the boats were a mile off, and then sunk them after they came to 1/2 mile.

   If they keep this up, the Iranians are going to find out there’s a serious difference between USN warships and those of Her Majesty.

   Iran has already admitted to the encounter saying the mattter is “resolved”. Guess the moonbats are now going proclaim Iran to be a part of the vast neocon conspiracy.

   Yep, there is already “gulf of Tonkin” talk starting. Bush is setting us all up. Maybe if some of these people would move out of their moms basement and see the world a bit, there wouldn’t be so many inane comments.

   Our ships should have simply opened fire and erased those Iranian boats from existence. Yeah, I know. It wouldn’t be diplomatic. But, come on!

   Benning, diplomatic is being nice and apologizing after you got your face beat in just because.

   Yeah Benning didn’t you learn anything from the Clinton years?? 1st you blow up the Chinese embassy then you say “Opps Sorry”. The same applies here. Here our ships are in international waters, Bush orders the Iranians to send out their attack boats, they of course do what GW wants because they are nothing more than mindless idiots. Then when our guys don’t blow these idiots to hell and back, the simpltons on the left say it was all a set up. I am really beginning to think that we need to have an IQ test to vote. – Lorica

    What?! I didn’t know the Iranians had any democrats in their government!!!!

    This whole incident was just an attempt by Iran to get us to fire on them. They could then deny it, and then the American left would take over the rest of the propaganda.

    dems would be howling for an investigation, others would be crying for impeachment and Iran gets what it wants, a distracted America.

    All USN warships carry 25mm chain guns, which would shred these little Pasdaran speedboats. I can imagine the calculus going on in the minds of those US skippers, judging the last possible moment they should wait to open fire.

    I probably would have failed that test, myself, and torn them up. Good thing I’m on the civilian side of the USN these days.

    These “Gulf of Tonkin” morons have never been in a situation where they have to consider employing deadly force, I am guessing. They live entirely within the tidy little confines of their paranoid minds, where there are no contradictions and everything can be neatly resolved by questioning the timing and calling for Bush’s impeachment.

    Well, GWB didn’t make the Iranians what they are today, and President Obama or Clinton is going to have to deal with the same whacknoodles. And guys like me are going to be on the tip of the spear (well, me, if I’m lucky, will be somewhat behind the tip, assuming that I’m not the one passing the Straits of Hormuz when it really blows up).

    Steve, I’d rather see a video of a 5″ shell hitting one of these boats and sending the crew to see Allah face to face.

    Why waste expensive 25mm ammo? A couple of .50 cal ma deuces would waste those boats and be less expensive. If it had been me commanding one of those ships, I would have ordered the gunners to open up anyway. That way the rags, would get a small lesson in what kind of firepower the USN has. I’ll bet that the rest of the mid east terrorist would sit up and take notice too, if that happened.

    Reported that some came within 200 yds of our vessels…..This never should have been allowed. Scary that they could achieve this. Let’s hope they light them up if it happens again…from at least a 1/2 mile away.

    Stan,

    My niece was a Gunner’s Mate on a LSD in the Gulf. Her battle station was a Ma Deuce. The gun was longer than she is tall, but she can hit what she aims at. Anyone for a serving of swiss cheese raghead?

    The Iranians got too close. They could have launched lots of different weapons at our boats from there. Ammo is cheap. If they do it again, we need to defend our lawful space before they get anywhere near that close. We would look like inept idiots if they got a shot off at us. One 5″ shell for each boat or let the R2D2 have em. You know W has given the skipper of our ships the go ahead if they try it again. I bet the Iranians are too chicken though.
