....and so it begins

Jesus?

Well, that's certainly an article that reeks of credibility.

Pirates?

It wasn't me.

What's a "missle"?

Whoever did it, pizza's on me.

Or more likely, someone screwed up loading explosives and something went off in the hold.

Of course, you can't discount the possibility that the US and Israel are operating an invisible fleet.

/obligatory.

sure it was a weapons ship. that's why they legally stopped it and showed the evidence to the world.

Remember the Maine!

Now that's diplomacy I can appreciate. Beats apologizing to the world.

Teh J00s?

Jesus is a ninja, not a pirate.

Heretic.

Seems that it would be more advantageous to seize the ship. Not only for media promotion, but to obtain prisoners to extract consessions with. Iran doesn't have journalists to trade?

It also strikes me as an unusually provocative act considering the importance of trade in the region.

It would also have been worthwhile to sabotage the shipment thus encouraging other harder to reach elements of one's enemies to self-immolate.

Gotta hand it to the Egyptian press - it was an "unidentified ship that could have been either Israeli or American."

I think it was the Lithuanians myself.

Yay Israel

if there wasn't a chance of a nuclear weapon being used, If they start mess like this, ley them clean it up without the US help.

Probably to shift the convo away from Jane Harman, the Israeli agent, and the AIPAC spies.

/grammar purposefully ambiguous

They did it to themselves. Sunk their own ship, claimed that it was an arms shipment, and a missile was fired from an unidentified ship, probably from an U.S. or Israeli vessel, win sympathy with the U.S. and nations that are apathetic with the U.S., allowing themselves justification in attacking Israel or the American forces in Iraq with the weapons that weren't really on that ship to begin with.

It was Pirate Jesus and his army of swine-flu infected, fire-breathing zombies.

Wow, you're a regular John La Carre, aren't you?

You know, for a guy who claims not hating Jew, you sure concentrate almost all of your post on conspiracies involving Jews.

It was a long way of saying "Got nothing"

Anyone else read that as "sudden missile attack" ?

What Pirate Jesus might look like.

I'm sorry folks but the problem is much worse than you suspected.

"Yeah, Mahmoud, I'm sorry. Don't tell anybody this, but I read the koran, too, ya know."

Obama has clearly done this to distract attention away from GaryPDX.

I suspect someone just saved a lot of innocent Palestinians from the consequences of foolish missile attacks by Hamas. Good work.

haha, *snerk*.

Well, it IS Fark. :)

Anyone else burst a vessel trying to parse the headline?

Yikes. "Chemicals, dangerous chemicals" indeed. We're calling enriched U238 (Or maybe it's plutonium. Whatever.) a "chemical" now?

flannelled fool: "Yeah, Mahmoud, I'm sorry. Don't tell anybody this, but I read the koran, too, ya know."

You know what the difference is between your guy and my guy?

Your side has to 'shop my guy to make him look bad, but your guy looks like shiat all on his own.

The article said there was 'beer sunk'. Whoever did it should be hanged.

Maybe they took a play out of the US playbook... (new window)

They strike like the wind and then are gone. Beware the ninjews,

I don't get it.

An Iranian ship with arms destined for Somalia is hijacked by Somalians who mysteriously die while on the ship and then the ship mysteriously sinks. I, for one, would like to know more about this.

/Confused

Meh...it's just Somali pirates exacting revenge over the deaths of their mates on the MV Iran Deyanat. You know, like the revenge they promised after SEAL snipers popped three of them last week.

Tats has hot pizza. I got cold beer. *pops one*

Kumana Wanalaia: You know what the difference is between your guy and my guy?

Never voted for that guy. Voted for his dad once.

'My guy' never made it out of the primaries:



A boring old fiscal conservative, somewhat social moderate with a trophy wife.

If it was a weapons transport, the Israelis would have disabled it and shown the cargo to the world.

too bad, so sad!
