New Gulf of Tonkin Predicted TWICE by Ron Paul JUST OCCURRED!

[Birdlady]

omg, I can't believe this is happening... at such a crucial point in our campaign. this is absolute bullshit.

And that's precisely why it's happening!

 

[pacelli]

Didn't Dr. Paul say that the first thing he would do is pull back our Navy from the Iranian coast? Sounds like the current foreign policy of interventionism is going to get us some blowback pretty soon.

 

[Menthol Patch]

I agree. How would we like it if Iran, China, or Russia had warships only a few miles off the Texas coast?

We need to make the point that if we did not have military vessels there then this would not have happened.

 

[torchbearer]

i think this works in our favor.

all Ron has to do is ask the question:
why did they attack our ships?
Because our ships were right off their coast.
What would we do if china parked its navy off of our coast in a threatened manner? We'd send a lot more than 5 gunships against their entire navy.. that's for sure.

Bush in Isarel this week also, CHeney is teh VP remember. imho

I do not like this scenario!

At this point we don't really know the whole story. Maybe we were in their territory and they got caught? They put out this fake story to cover their butts or something. Seriously I do not trust our own military at this point.

We will have to wait and see what comes out of all this.

@Torchbearer
Oh I agree with you. RP is in a great position. However, the problem is that the media will be spoon feeding fear for the next few days and we know how fear affects people in this country. We let crap like the patriot act pass!

Wag the dog.

Great movie!

I can't believe anyone here is surprised or shocked at what the "demagogues" will print to sway the public. We all ought to know that what Dr. Paul stands for is NOT ACCEPTABLE to the "elite" oligarchy that controls the press and our government now......they most certainly are concerned and will use ALL means available to "take him out".

I would be skeptical of the Iranians taking on the US navy and we already know all about "rigged" attacks in the middle east to try to entice the American Public to support war against Arabs: google "USS LIBERTY" and read all about how Israel and some high up in the U.S. tried to "stage" a EGYPTIAN attack killing our sevice men 40 years ago.

 

[traitorist]

this news holds no surprises for me.

 

[Robben]

Markets up again. They sure are nervous

I resent that i dont know a single soldier if something like that where to go down on purpose they would participate.

i always knew.. we will be at war by the time of the election..

 

[smoke.stack]

you are assuming that the soldiers are "in the loop." i agree with you, but if all they see is some boats float by, and their superiors telling them it was the iranians, then that's what happened.

Stop jumping the gun with this 'Gulf of Tonkin' crap.

It is one news report and hardly anything is confirmed. One moment many of you say that you don't believe the mainstream media then the next you grab some report, pick what you like out of it, believe it without confirmation and then use and/or twist it to support your view.

True Alex Jones sensationalist style.

 

[BillyDkid]

Did you guys hear the report of the incident in the Gulf of Hormuz last night between "5 Iranian gunboats and 3 U.S. navy ships???" Supposedly the 5 gunboats acted in a "threatening manner" and came within 200 yards of one of our ships in international waters. A radio transmission from one of the Iranian boats supposedly said, "we are coming at you, and when we get there you will explode!" The navy reportedly almost took them out.

THIS IS THE GULF OF TONKIN, Part deux, JUST AS PREDICTED BY RON PAUL! The timing--one day before the NH Primary--is just so blatant!!

Thankfully, Dr. Paul warned of his fears of a "Gulf-of-Tonkin_type" incident twice already during this election cycle, and the neocons will NOT (hopefully) be able to benefit from their "new" scare tactic.

It cracks me up that these morons can't even make up new scenarios anymore!

Does anybody seriously believe that the Iranians are stupid enough to provoke us in a serious way? "Yes, please come and demolish my country!!!" This is scarey stuff. How many need to die for the ambition of others?

 

[Robben]

I dont think this is a very serious thing. Probably some Rev guard hot shot commander who wants to show of. Its also the norm in Islamic countries to throw out these absurd insults at their enemies without any real intention of making them real: "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes," Its just showing off. He is now the man for his poetic display of absurd and half witted courage.

 

[Ranger29860]

i think guiliani ruined the neocon fear card people are getting sick of everyother word bieng 911 or islamic fundamentalist

There is no limit on the neocons' american express.

 

[Ethek]

no one wants to hear this. Its more 'blame the victim speak' in the eyes of the media. They'll eat it up and twist our words until we look like fools to any rational person despite the facts.

We just need to be consistent in our message that Dr. Paul had expected this to be coming.
