Where the hell was HMS Cornwall when this happened? If they were on approach to their ship, wouldn't the Cornwall have been able to see visually or with radar that there were vessels approaching? They shoulda blew em out of the water....

I wonder where that HMS Cornwall got to? Somebody wasn't watching a boarding party, that's how to loose boarding partys isn't it?:smile:
That is what I am saying. I know the facts aren't in and at this point all we can do is speculate.
These Marines and sailors were in inflatables which typically are not open sea boats. Sure they can sail on the seas but I wouldn't think they were launched over the horizon if you know what I mean. If the Captain of the HMS Cornwall had this whole incident happen under his nose and he just watched the Iranians circle his crew and take them w/o a fight... well he should walk the plank.
haha maybe. My point being that we'll never know what happened. nothing that comes from the mainstream media OR the loony-bin conspiracy theorist groups is trustworthy.
Holy Smoke we agree!

My post is waiting an OK from the mods, hopefully this one gets through
Nothing to apologize for Eagle.You are absolutly correct and I humbly apologize. I don't usually take Wiki as a definitive source as anyone can add to it but I read a link (off the site) of a report done by a USMC officer that said the Vincennes pursued Iranian Gunboats into Iranian territorial waters (12 miles) after an engagement and that is where they engaged the airliner.
I didn't say it wasn't an error. The info I am going by is that somehow the 'signal' being picked up was for a warplane still at an airport. (I'm still curious about warplanes using transponders if they are on an 'attack mission').we've all heard about that accident on Discovery MHz...it's nothing new....and it WAS and accident
Then you may as well take your magical eraser and delete 95% of everything that has ever been posted on this site.
because one tells one kind of lies and the other tells others. Both serve themselves but usually only one makes money from it, which is probably why it's easier to tell when the loonies are talking BS
I think Britain should get serious about this and send in commando prince harry to rectify this problem.
Looks like the first step in a decisive invasion of Britain. The Brits aren't what they used to be and will prove a soft target for the well organized Iranians. I hope Iran stops there though. I think we're willing to cede them this one.
I haven't made much money on the lies I tell here.:lol:
