Iranian lies exposed

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama wants the United States to sit down and talk and negotiate and talk and negotiate some more with the lying sacks of shit who claim to speak for the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Contrast the position of, say, Rudy Giuliani—also a clever lawyer, and for my money a lot cleverer when it comes to negotiating from a position of strength than Obama—here.)

I just thought I’d remind you of Obama’s judgment that the United States should be serene in the face of bellicose provocation, that the United States should give, give, give, give, give, and get nothing in return.

All that is by way of introducing a link to pictures, the story, and a video of the highly provocative incident:

 

The U.S. Navy released dramatic video and audio of this weekend’s stand-off with Iran. The video shows Iranian speedboats swarming around three American warships going through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

At the chilling culmination of the tape, a voice can be heard over the radio, apparently from the Iranians, saying, “I am coming at you. You will explode after a few minutes.”

Go to the link, watch the vid, and marvel at the calm that prevails on board among the sailors of the United States Navy. And remember that Andrew Sullivan (Obama’s biggest fan) supports a fresh start in foreign policy.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Too bad that it’s the same old troubled world out there, with a lot of bad actors intent on doing harm to the United States and its people.
