Start of war? 15 Royal Marines and sailors seized by Iranians
- Thread starter CBC News
- Start date
This is probly just coincidence but weren't islamic terrorists of the 7/7 bus bombing just arrested with much mob whipping hoopla a couple of days ago? haha Who want's to go to war for GW or Blair Petroleum.?:smile:
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.
Hah, I noticed we kinda posted the same question.
Walk the plank for sure. Something isn't adding up.
You still think it's two different groups eh, I mean the mainstream media and loonie -bin. How can you tell the difference?:smile:
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
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.
we've all heard about that accident on Discovery MHz...it's nothing new....and it WAS and accident
Nothing to apologize for Eagle.
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').
That being said the ship knowing that it was not where it had permission to be would still have had a 'extended sense of apprehension' for those aboard that ship.
I couldn't find anything that defines 'the rules' for who can be boarded in regarding Security Council Resolution 1723. If it is specific to Iraq, it would seem to be ships headed for an Iraqi port. The ship (one site identified it as Iranian, most others simply say 'merchant ship').
What a dreamer you are, 5% correct information would make this site an intelligence goldmine.:smile:
I think Britain should get serious about this and send in commando prince harry to rectify this problem.
