Wow. That's crazy. They really do want a war. Nobody in their right mind could "misidentify a US warship."

Heh. A while ago an Iranian ship was calling out to US aircraft over the gulf. They know where american bases are, so when a plane pops up on radar, they instantly know who it is. Conversations typically went like so-

Iranian boat: Aircraft flying heading 090 please state your aircraft number, organization, and country of origin...
*repeats 4 or 5 times depending on the crew*

US aircrew that definately wasn't me: This is *made up callsign*, for information regarding your requested information please visit www.whitehouse dot com (.com is a porno site, .gov is the real white house site).
Or
US aircrew that definately wasn't me: Go F yourself.

The Iranians are always doing **** they could get shwacked pretty hard for, but the international community doen't feel like doing anything about it, so they let it slide. You never hear them messing with the Israelis, but that's probably because the Israelis would have no problem sinking every one of their boats once they got within a mile and think nothing of it.

Iran is a joke. Unfortunately that kind of crap is no laughing matter - fortunately we follow rules of engagement...

This reminds me of a line that Dane Cook made on one of his hilarious CDs ... maybe we should try this ...

"look we are the greatest country on Earth but we get a little cocky from time to time. If we don't like the way your country's doing its business, we'll kick the door in, "Hey, hey knock it off, you're bugging the world, cut it out. And if you don't listen to us we'll throw all kinds of weapons and crazy sh*t at cha', which we always apololigize about using twenty or thirty years later. Listen we're really sorry about that, we were a little drunk at the time and we got a little rambunchious, the bomb we didn't know it was going to do that, we thought it was a contained blast and we didn't know it would make everything blown to smitherines. And you were being kind of a bitch. Country! {snap} Country! {snap} you are being kind of a b*tch. Are we cool now and mind if we leave like three or four thousand troops and maybe some supplies here do ya, DO YA MIND?!?! You wouldn't want us to get drunk again would ya! High five us, photo opt, FA-*****! [camera sound]. "

dane cook is a siily bitch, but gettin back to the point, stuff is gettin out of hand with all this middleeast stuff, see i support the war but we cant keep policing the world one time or another we are going to be stretched to thin and the other countries are going to jump on that when the time comes, sure sit them down, yell at them if it a must but dont go no futher, finish one problem at a time, not all at once
