Gwynne Dyer: How to start a war - American style
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_ [...]
...Horner is the executive officer of the USS Underwood, the American frigate that works with HMS Cornwall, the British ship the captive boarding party came from.
Interviewed after the incident by Terri Judd of the Independent, the only British print journalist on HMS Cornwall, he was obviously struggling to be polite about the gutless Brits, but he wasn't having much success.
"The US Navy rules of engagement say we have not only a right to self-defence but also an obligation to self-defence," Horner explained. "[The British] had every right in my mind and every justification to defend themselves rather than allow themselves to be taken. Our reaction was, 'Why didn't your guys defend themselves?"'
So there they are, eight sailors and seven marines in two rubber boats, with personal weapons and no protection whatever, sitting about 30cm above the water, surrounded by six or seven Iranian attack boats with mounted machine guns.
"Defend yourself" by opening fire, and after a single long burst from half a dozen heavy machine-guns there will be 14 dead young men and one dead young woman in two rapidly sinking inflatables, and your country will be at war. Seems a bit pointless, really.
...Seems a bit pointless, really.
...Seems a bit pointless, really.
...Seems a bit pointless, really.

THIS IS FOR THOSE THAT WOKE UP TODAY SAYING IT WAS A GOOD DAY TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAN, like CNN and Fox News !
Jerks !
AIN'T GOIN' TA HAPPEN !
GET OFF THE SUBJECT. That will be a real challenge for Glen Beck the world's worst war monger.
But, they can always count on Anderson Cooper 360 to try to bring in 'the crazies' to attempt to rebuild a constituency for Rove again. ANDY IS engaged in trying to attract people of 'odd' interests in hopes if 'the under represented' are finding a home, he can convince them everything less he is pumping out as propaganda is completely representative of 'the truth' too.
PATHETIC ! This is legitimate news? No.
“Be Honest About What You See . . .” Cooper and Symington
Looks like both The OrangeOrb (er, me) and the Heavy Stuff blog were wrong; Anderson Cooper has picked up on the Symington story. Actually, to be specific, the author of Heavy Stuff wrote that Cooper probably won’t ask Symington who ordered him to pull that trivializing stunt with his aide in an alien suit. Good question.
While Cooper does a good job of reporting on Symington’s sighting and what Symington has to say without stopping to mockery or lame little green men jokes, he didn’t ask that question.
