    This will only go so far

    7 Iranian Boats Harass Navy Ship in Gulf
    Iranian fast boats have once again harassed an American ship in the Persian Gulf, forcing a U.S. Navy patrol boat to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision with one of the Iranian boats.

    American officials have labeled the Iranian actions in Sunday's encounter involving the USS Firebolt as "unsafe and unprofessional." It is the latest in a string of such incidents over the past two weeks in which small craft from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) have harassed U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf.

    "The USS Firebolt, a patrol craft, was operating in international waters in the central Arabian Gulf, was approached by seven fast-attack craft from Iran," Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters today.

    0bama has prolly given orders to surrender to any hostile Iranian naval activity that threatens the USN, but somewhere out there a crew is itching to try out all their electronic warfare doodads on some asshole Iranians. They can pack enough explosives on one of those fast boats to wreck a destroyer from 500 yards away, and the bastards get closer than that.

    If they keep this up, it won't end well.

    I hope, the next time one of their boats stops in front of a ship of ours, the captain is a little too slow to maneuver around it....

    However, it's starting to look like a little target practice is in order.

    (And some wonder why Obama is treated with no respect in the rest of the world....?)

    Islam has been at war with America since America won her freedom from England, the Barbary coast pirates were all muslim and were under the direct control of their muslim governments, American shipping was attacked so often by muslims that jefferson bought a quran to try to understand their thinking, wich is the quran that Keith Ellison took his congressional oath of office upon. When we pay muslim nations anything, they consider it jizya, the tax infidels must pay to muslims. But that's not all, they won't be happy till America is ruled by islam. I suspect they're never going to be happy.

    There is a way to make all of them very happy. Give them a one-way pass to see allah personally. Then, EVERYBODY would be much happier.

    If you ever get a chance to see a movie from about 1970 called "Colossus: The Forbin Project", it is worth watching. It was a "pre-terminator" movie where there were two mainframe computers, an American one and a Russian one, that linked up and took over both countries arsenals.
    There is a line in that movie where Colossus said to Forbin that humans would accept the peace of Colossus or they would have the peace of unburied dead.

    Maybe we should arrange for that outcome.

    Great movie. Way ahead of its time, but much more plausible today.
