And these guys wonder why we almost always assume they're exaggerating any threat.
One day there are like seven terrorists in Miami planning to blow things up. The next day we find out they are a couple stoned dudes who would have said anything for a big bag of salt & vinegar potato chips.
And now, shockingly, just a few days after President Bush referred to a "provocative act," by the Iranians, our government is backtracking on that supposed threat from Iranian speedboats in the Strait Of Hormuz:
Just two days after the U.S. Navy released the eerie video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the tape could have come from the shore or from another ship.
It is a pretty sad thing to get to the point where you just immediately assume your President is lying to you. My first reaction when I heard of this "threat" was this: Gulf of Tonkin.
Watch the video and read Gottalaff's great writeup, she's got a whole lot more on this...
I'll put it this way. If anybody see those speed boats as a threat it is Bush and his war mongering mashine which turned USA into a rogue terrorist country. And they "see" it as a threat just to find excuse to attack Iran.
I feel sorry for all those good americans which are unable to do anything to change course of things.
Maybe you will get your freedom back some day ...
