Bullsh*t corporate media: CNN Pentagon correspondent claims Iran harrass US Navy at Strait of Hormuz
Barbara Starr: presstitute for the Neocons
Reading Barbara Starr's bio at CNN.com, it is clear she is a whore for the military-industrial-Congressional complex as the media correspondent of the Pentagon (sole author of the short article as well). I wonder whether she holds a sentimental attitude favoring Zionism.
Nice try, Barbara, but diligent Americans won't fall for the same old bullshit that led to the Vietnam War -- the deliberate false information and propaganda of the Gulf of Tonkin incident as ordered by the treasonous President Johnson in August 1964.

Update
Reminds me of some of the 'TV fakery' anomalies in the media coverage of 9/11 that's been documented in movies like September Clues.
Anyway, yeah here we go. I hope this doesn't go over. Ron Paul did warn that this would happen around this around this time last year. I wonder if he'll stick with that & call bullshit or if he'll puss now & continue to blame the Arabs.
But it's True... FOX News reported that Bin Laden was at the helm of one of the Iranian boats and that Nasrallah was steering the other!!!
OMG!! I can't take this anymore FOX, please give me some stories about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to ease my aching head.
I just scanned 60 news sites. Every one of them cites the Pentagon as the source of this. Arab, Chinese, and Russian web sites also cite the Pentagon.
There is nothing on any Iranian web site about it. No denials--nothing.
Bush leaves for the Middle East tomorrow. Coincidence? Somehow I don't think so.
If I remember correctly, it was Victor Ostrovsky - who authored 1990 non-fiction book "By Way of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer" - said Mossad faked the radio transmission to make it sound like Libyan terrorists were responsible for that bombing in Germany to fool Ronald Reagan into ordering the bombing of Libya, which killed dozens, including Muammar Qaddafi's toddler daughter in the 80's.
The radio transmission in this recent 'confrontation' "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes" is either made up by the Pentagon warhawks or Mossad agents hijacking the radio to dupe the Americans into thinking Iranian Guards made the threat.
The only way to verify the transmission is to have the recording leaked and listen to the accent for the trace. If it speaks with the distinct Hebrew accent in English pronunciation, there's no doubt it's the work of the Mossad trying to provoke the Americans into the reactionary mode to attack Iran, just like Americans were betrayed by Israel time and again in the past (Lavon Affair, USS Liberty, Marine barrack bombings in Lebanon 1983, etc)
Israel is not America's ally, it is the mortal enemy of the free world.
The Zionist owned Google was reporting the incident as a skirmish. Here is a following quote for one of there various owned and controlled outlets:

_________________________________
In one radio transmission, the Iranians told the U.S. Navy: “I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes,” the U.S. military officials told CNN.
When the U.S. ships heard that radio transmission, they manned their gun positions and officers were “in the process” of giving the order to fire when the Iranians abruptly turned away, the U.S. officials said.

Why would an inferior hostile force announce their intentions? It seems to me that surprise is one of thier biggest weapons. According to globalsecurity.org the Iranian navy has always been the smallest of the three services, having about 14,500 personnel in 1986, down from 30,000 in 1979. Throughout the 1970s, the role of the navy had expanded as Iran recognized the need to defend the region's vital sea-lanes. Further more n 1992, Iran and China negotiated a deal for Iran to recieve a fleet of 70-ton Chinese patrol boats with Styx antiship missles. In 1993, Iran bought two Russian Kilo-class submarines and eight mini-submarines from North Korea. All done in an effort to rebuild after the Navy was nearly destoyed after the Islamic Revolution, Iran continued to purchase foreign weapons systems.
Threatswatch.org was quick to suggest that the Irainians were using the alleged incident to make a wind fall from Oil prices. In other words, a mini-false flag event to drive oil prices upward. However, according to Abdul Alhazred:

There is nothing in the Iranian propaganda organs mentioning the incident! Strange- The Iranians confront the US Navy and then fail to publicize the event which would help their ulterior motives- price manipulation. However, the Zionist owned has flooded the Media airwaves with the Pentagon sourced story. One last note, as of noon today the price of oil had fallen by $2.78. I suspect that this just another military/Zionist psych-ops aimed at reminding the Americans and their affiliated colonies that the Iranians are dangerous while turning a profit.
this is so staged, it's not even funny - but because zionists own the stage no one has an opportunity to call it what it is.
I mean come on - Iranians transmitting threats in English??? If not, I dare them to cough up the names of their "interpretors" - contracted through the israeli embassy, no doubt.
---------------------------------------
"Money" has no value - people do.
They really don't have much imagination, do they. They keep resorting to the same old false flag playbook, in this case using the exact plays.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if ziostaniac pirate patrol boats get painted up as Iranian and provoke the 5th fleet.
If true, that there being harassed SO WHAT..
Israel bombed us navy (The USS Liberty)once,nothing happened to isreal right?
I dont Know how everyone else thinks but if im home minding my own business and someone is in my front yard waving guns around im not just gonna sit there....
I think iran can take care of this.
It took a while, but the Iranians say they did not threaten any U.S. warships.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Hosseini suggested that the Iranian boats had not recognized the US vessels. He was surprised at the wild US version of events, and said the encounter was a routine vessel identification that ended with nothing special to report. He said Iranian naval forces have a right to identify any vessel entering Persian Gulf waters.
Three U.S. vessels were involved: cruiser USS Port Royal, destroyer USS Hopper, and frigate USS Ingraham. They are part of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain, and has about three-dozen US warships in the region at any one time. The USA regards the entire region as U.S. territory.
The Iranians flatly deny that the ships transmitted any threatening message.
Vice Admiral Kevin Cosgriff, commander of the US 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, claims he has a recording of this alleged threatening message, and that he was considering whether to release it.
(If it really exists, why would he NOT release it?)
The Republican Guard took over some of Iran’s naval duties eight months ago. The U.S. Congress has designated the Republican Guard a “terrorist organization.”
The U.S. claims the Iranian boats dropped “objects” or “boxes” in the water. The USA cannot prove this, because the U.S. warships did not retrieve any “objects” or “boxes" from the water.
AL-Jazeera
On Monday, two U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter jets collided over the northern Gulf, and were destroyed. U.S. officials have not said whether Iranian terrorists were involved in the mid-air collision.
If the US navy decided to ambush an Iranian vessel deep in Iranian waters just off the Iranian coast, and board it, and kill everyone on board except one poor bastard who was able to jump into the sea, that jump by that Iranian would be labeled an "act of terrorism".
I vividly remember (not date and name) a radio interview with a high ranking military officer regarding a guitmo inmate who had committed suicide. He called the act an "emotional act of terrorism and blackmailing".
I don't know if this is an utter loss of conscience or a desperate attempt in quenching deep sense of guilt.
Right, so it was a suicide attack minus the bomb. Don't pity the Arab, he was trying to harm us emotionally.
This is absolute fucking insanity. Orwell rolls in his grave. In this New York Times article, military officials suggest that the suicide of 3 Gitmo inmates was an act of terrorism:
It's not even Orwellian, it's worse than Orwellian. Fucking crazy is what it is.
