You all need a time OUT and the world needs a BREAK.
And I don't care how sexist I sound.

8. Did ya'll hear the question the anchor asked at the end? |
|
He asked: "Do the Iranians always film thier routine incidents?" Now that's the sort of question I miss hearing from our media. Though the reporter in Tehran could not hear the question and so there was no answer to it forthcoming, it was just the sort of question that NEEDS to be asked. Afterall, if the answer were to have been NO, then the fact that they filmed this incident could infer intentional sabre rattling by Iran. If the answer is YES, then the possibility that the American fleet was menacing Iran territory, drawing such a response from Iranian defenses. Taking it further, the Iranian voice on the US version of video sounds manufactured or contrived. And immediately following the incident, Bush started talking tough about Iran again for the first time since the NIE temporarily silenced him on the Iran rhetoric. If their war with Iran is to go on as scheduled, he had to have a reason to resume pounding his war drums.

11. Just posted my own copy. Yours is better. |
|
I just posted the same story from BBC World, but it contains less of the actual footage between the two boats. :( Some news source, two videos. Odd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZxYOy_Py50
