Hezbollah Receives 35 Speedboats From Iran
Okay…with the USS Cole now patrolling off the coast of Lebanon, this is all too deja vu all over again-ish.
Don’t like the smell of it.
But I will say this on behalf of the crew of the USS Cole: “Fool me once…then I’m going to fuck you up. And your “once” is up.”
Military sources report that three weeks before Hezballah seized western Beirut, the Shiite terrorist group took delivery of 35 fast speedboats for use with explosives from Iran. The craft can threaten US Sixth Fleet and Israel Navy shipping close to Lebanese shores, reach Israel’s Haifa and Ashdod Mediterranean ports and raid its coastal oil installations.
The speedboats were tailor-made for Hezballah by Iranian Revolutionary Guards shipyards at Bandar Abbas as the only marine terror fleet operating in Mediterranean waters. Our military sources report the boats are capable of carrying chemical, biological and radiological weapons systems.
They were delivered in mid-April by an Iranian freighter at the Syrian port of Latakia and trucked to Naimah port south of Beirut. There they were hidden in the subterranean hangars belonging to Ahmed Jibril, head of the Palestinian Liberation Front-General Command. Today, the PLF-GC is financed and directed by the Revolutionary Guards. The hangars were constructed in the seventies by East Germany engineers with a protected Mediterranean anchorage and made virtually impenetrable by sea or air.

Nods to Kurt (the infidel)
War is looking inevitable. Searching for Nuclear weapons, delivering speedboats to terrorist organization when the fleet is being augmented, training terrorists across the border from Iraq. At the very least we need to set their country’s economy back a hre hundred years. Unfortunately there will be little to no change.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:20 amYeah war is inevitable with Iran. the drum beats have become a beast that cannot be stopped at this point no matter how much diplomacy or sanctions the UN decides to level against them. They are turning up the heat on us and i hope in return we cook their asses alive!

May 13th, 2008 at 9:15 amDon’t like the smell of it huh, Bash?
I do!!!!
Target rich environment….You are weapons free….light ‘em up!
May 13th, 2008 at 9:58 amI doubt the crew on the USS Cole will be putting up with annoying Iraniac speedboats. If I were the skipper, I’d have a glean in my eyes at the thought of some jihadi payback.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:32 amWell from what I’ve discussed the war won’t happen during the current Presidency Nope, but it will as long as Obama doesn’t become president, which I hope to God doesn’t happen. But that doesn’t mean Bush can’t set the US up for war, might as well have the President fully prepared for the war once they come into office. lol Why do you think we’re taking troops out of Iraq? And who knows this inauguration might be a little more exciting, including speeches by the President, a big ass Parade, and a fireworks display [over Tehran]
