Straits of Hormuz, Gulf of Tonkin what’s the difference?
ok we didn’t have to do any research to know that the US version of the Straits of Hurmoz events was classic american terrorism and propaganda. this morning on ABC news the spokesman actually told the truth of what happened. nothing!
Today, the spokesperson for the U.S. admiral [Vice Admiral Kevin Cosgriff] in charge of the Fifth Fleet clarified to ABC News that the threat may have come from the Iranian boats, or it may have come from somewhere else.
We’re saying that we cannot make a direct connection to the boats there,” said the spokesperson. “It could have come from the shore, from another ship passing by. However, it happened in the middle of all the very unusual activity, so as we assess the information and situation, we still put it in the total aggregate of what happened Sunday morning. I guess we’re not saying that it absolutely came from the boats, but we’re not saying it absolutely didn’t.” [some clarification eh?]
not to be outdone and since the spokesman spoke out of turn, the war drums begin to bang again at 453Pm Eastern. this time the message was sent out by SEBASTIAN ABBOT, Associated Press Writer and secret agent man and it goes…
The U.S. Navy said Friday that one of its ships fired warning shots at a small Iranian boat in the Strait of Hormuz in December during one of two serious encounters that month.
The USS Whidbey Island fired the warning shots on Dec. 19 in response to a small Iranian boat that was rapidly approaching it, said a U.S. Navy official.
“One small (Iranian) craft was coming toward it, and it stopped after the Whidbey Island fired warning shots,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
It was the first official confirmation that the United States had fired warning shots in any recent confrontation with Iran in the Gulf.
