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

[Pharoah]

While it could be the onset of a provocateured incident, it could also be the natural result of having two navies butting up against each other in the same stretch of water.

Someone will surely bring up the point that Ron made about Iran having no navy or army or airforce (which to be honest was stupid for him to say).. Even I knew when he said it that Iran has a navy.. Sure, not much compared to OUR navy.. We know they have a navy because they are using OUR destoyers from ww2. Yes, ww2. They have an airforce.. and I know this because.. they are flying OUR PLANES. As far as the army - they are one of 3 middle eastern nations to actually build their OWN main battle tank.

So, they dont have a navy that will last 2 seconds in a sea battle.. they are using old destroyers from world war 2, while we are roaming the earth in nuclear powered submaries, floating cities called "air craft carriers" that carry about as many men as the entire iranian navy EACH.

Go set the record straight! Take out an add in your local paper today and promote the message to someone other than the quire!

 

[SteveMartin]

Scott,

It doesn't make any difference whether it really happened or not. The point is IT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON ALL THE NETWORKS, and for most meat heads in the mainstream, that is the same as if every detail was totally accurate.

 

[SteveMartin]

Well 23 guys in motor boats isn't even a navy "to speak of"...lol...

 

[i2ambler]

Yes, he should have said "no real navy to speak of." I think that's what he meant....not literally no navy.

Unfortunately, in this position the things he says and the way he says it are very important. In this day and age of instant press politicians and especially someone running for president has to be very careful about how things come out of their mouths. I love Dr. Paul's enthusiasm in the way he speaks - but he needs to slow it down a bit and concentrate on how the words sound to the listener.

lol. .not quite accurate.. but close.. at least they arent rowboats with bows and arrows.

[BeFranklin]

They called the boats on TV swift boats. I think the local yacht clubs in America could field as good.

May as well be.

Iran would have to be Suicidal as a Nation to Muck with the U.S. like this.
Not like they don't know what the outcome would be in short order.



This is a serious OH SHIT moment for the rest of the World!

Boogeyman Alert, Run for the hills, argghhhh....

 

[Dieseler]

Time to start watching the mail box for those draft cards boys!

 

[StrikerV]

Oh Noes Iranian Boaties

 

[PatriotOne]

False Flag Ops are why the Dems walk the fine line of being somewhat hawkish. They have preempted this kind of Rovian tactic by not taking anything off the table as they knew they would use it. The Hill knows 9/11 was an inside job and they also know they have no qualms about doing it again.

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!

were they throwing snowballs and chanting USA Sux?

This is the second time in two days that this poster has posted something
provocative. Both posts could be interpreted as attempts to make the
grassroots extreme and out-of-step.

Yesterday, it was this post called "Were RP supporters arrested right behind the 5 neocons, live on camera?"

Today, its a post which calls-out RP as some kinda kook conspiracy theorist who
predicts false flag operations. Is there a link or anything to back up this story? Further, what relevance does this have to "grassroots central?"

Finally, I have also noticed that this is the poster who initiated the Open Letter to the Campaign airing a wide range and long list of grievances.

When I see all of this activity eminating from the same individual, I have to
wonder what this person's purpose is here. From the posts alone, and while I
could be wrong, I would conclude that they are here to pretend to support, while
quietly disrupting through suspect stories and divisive efforts between the
campaign and its grassroots support.

Again, while I maybe wrong about the intent here, I urge everyone to stay
vigilant and to look for motive when evaluating individuals who claim to be
supporters of the campaign.

Hmm, very ballsy thing for the Iranians to do. I also would like to point out that Iranian state media isn't covering this. The Iranian people have absolutely no idea what kind of mess their gov't is getting them into, if they did they might overthrow them tomorrow (please do).

I'm not going to call conspiracy on this one, its reminiscent of the British sailors fiasco last year. And I wouldn't put it past the Rev Guard to do something this provocative. The Iranian people need to wake up and see the situation they are being put in.

As much as many of you would like to attribute this to the US, the Iranian gov't is easily no better or worse, and provocation isn't beyond them. I have been saying for the past several months that I fear the Iranian gov't doing something stupid to provoke a war as much as our own.

Iranian gunboat:

US Navy warships:

Any questions?

Maybe because it never happened?

Either way, it won't help the death-cult one bit. What can they do? Scream "bomb,bomb,bomb" even louder?
If anything, Ron Paul will sound even better to the majority who is fed up with this costly crap, whether this actually happened or not.
