Brian Moore67 said:Man, it is seriously wild watching how this whole saga is unfolding. So, you've got the Iranians seizing a British crew, claiming they were cruising right through Iranian waters—they even threw out some GPS coordinates as their "smoking gun" proof. But then the Brits come back swinging, showing that those exact same coordinates actually put them squarely in Iraqi waters! And the response from the Iranians? They just doubled down by providing totally different GPS data that supposedly places everything in Iranian territory. Talk about a moving target!

😵

And honestly, this isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff either—last year, the Iranian navy went after a Romanian oil rig in international waters and snatched up 25 workers, and so on and so forth. It’s pretty much what happens when you’ve got a nation run like a full-blown gang.

Are you talking about the Ayatollahs or Mymood I'minajihad?

Interesting stuff, though maybe Tony Blair is actually showing he has a backbone for once... or maybe it's just an illusion.

Navy boats 'ambushed' in Iraqi water

"We will, therefore, be imposing a freeze on all official bilateral business with Iran until this situation is resolved," she said.

Yesterday Mrs. Beckett spoke in what were described as "very robust terms" to her Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki.

She said many of the UK's international partners had been putting pressure on Iran.

She Said that Iraqi foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari Had confirmed The incident took Place in Iraqi Waters and called for The release of The personnel

Meanwhile in Iran students staged a Mock trial of The detainees where shouts of " death to Britain

So, basically, that whole fake "massacre" in Gaza from the start?

Alex Rivera7 said:Just my two cents here—and I know this might catch you off guard—but I heard there was one C-130 out there.
🙂

Honestly, I'm stunned. 🙂

I haven't seen a single report mentioning more than one AC-130 being involved. You got some inside info or something?

There were some helicopters buzzing around the area too, though nobody's sure if they're US or Ethiopian. Plus, Hornet jets from the Eisenhower are running heavy recon missions over Somalia right now.

Anyway, whatever, at least one less extremist out there.

So, are we actually talking about Somalia here and how those guys basically got what was coming to them?

How do you even feel about typing out these massive, mile-long posts that don't even have anything to do with the topic?

According to them, the US fleet has already locked down the sea, Ethiopia shut its borders (though who knows if that's actually doing anything), and now that Islamic militia is totally boxed in. They’re gonna get picked apart like clay pigeons, one by one.

From what I can tell, they're retreating toward the coast, and that's exactly where the US Navy is waiting for them. Total hammer and anvil situation.

They wanted to go playing tough in Somalia, and man, did they get it.

Anyway, back to what we were talking about.

The target was Fazul Abdullah Mohammed. He was the guy behind those embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania back in '98—over 200 people died in those attacks. He also tried to take down an Israeli passenger flight on the Mombasa-Tel Aviv route.

That strike was carried out by an AC-130 flying out of Djibouti.

You need both Reuters and those local freelance photographers in the mix for this to even work. You spend all this time obsessing over the set design and the setup, and then if Reuters doesn't show up, the whole thing is a total wash. All that effort wiretapping just goes down the drain while you're stuck hauling bodies out of some tiny-town morgue.

Al Jazeera, KC, and whoever else

I've seen enough.

Bye-bye, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed. On to the next one!

Loose Change? Honestly, only a complete idiot would buy into the nonsense Avery is pushing in that "documentary."

So, I’m currently wading through the 9/11 Commission Report, and man, I gotta say... reading how everything went down on all those flights, especially Flight 93, is just heavy. It's brutal. I haven't sat down to watch the movie yet, but honestly, after seeing all your takes here, I feel like I probably should go check it out.

Honestly though? Just reading those cockpit transcripts is enough for me.
