can you say…”Gulf of Tonkin Incident” …anyone need a reason to goto war???

You know how we have amazingly accurate smart bombs and satellites that can smell what you’re cooking for dinner…how come we don’t have video of these Iranian speedboat instigaters? Heck, the Los Angeles Police Department learned after Rodney King that somebody else might be video taping so they better equip themselves with a video tape of their own…just to defend their procedures. Is the LAPD smarter than the US Military? (or do they have to be held accountable for their actions???)

I like that last line of the report…”It raises a lot of nerves around here.”
I’ll bet Iran loves to hear that…thank you CNN.
That’s hillarious! You media people love to scare the viewers with over reactions and drama.
We can blow those little speed boats out of the water; if they keep this up. I suppose this makes you feel like you’re reporting “big” stories?

CSR there is footage of the previous incident of three speed boats approaching US navy destroyers a few weeks ago on the web and probably will be of this incident soon.
