US warship collides with oil tanker in Persian Gulf

The guided-missile destroyer USS Porter collided with the Panamanian-flagged Japanese-owned oil tanker MV Otowasan early Sunday, the US Navy said. Nobody was injured in the incident, which happened near the Strait of Hormuz at the month of the Persian Gulf, which is crucial for world crude oil transportation. The American warship is part of the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet.

I am surprised they didn't blow the hell out of it after a 15 sec warning for daring to enter their sacred water space. Oh wait they only do that to the peon's they think are Iranian.

nah... they've been talking of attacking Iran how many years now??
they are too scared to attack Iran as they don't know what consequences will ensue

iran is a very powerful nation packed with super-intelligent highly educated people - they are prepared

Well I guess it just bigger then the fishing boat they recently shot up then. Nothing to see here move along now. They fired the admirals that had the balls to say no last time.

bento, Yup, if the big brass have a tad of honor they get sent to pastureposthaste.
                 I can't recolect the name of high up (navy) brass who stated something along the lines w/ regard to an invasion, "Not on my watch".
                 He's been retired. There are quite a few Mil. leaders who have taken a stand against the NWO, in fact I remember they have formed   a inner circle and gone public.
