U.S. Releases Dramatic Iran Boat Video

Stop me if you've heard this one before. U.S. Releases Dramatic Vietnam Iran Boat Video
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.
To be fair, they didn't shoot any video of the Gulf of Tonkin incident that lead to the Vietnam war. They didn't have to. In the good old days you could just lie and people really didn't question you about it.

But at least our fearless leader was clear on how he felt about the situation.
"We viewed it as a provocative act. It is a dangerous situation. And they should not have done it, pure and simple," the president said. "And my message today, to the Iranians, is they shouldn't have done what they did."
Poetry.

That's the problem once the government starts using propaganda. Is it or isn't it real?

However the hole in the USS Cole was caused by a small speedboat and recently a group of Brits ended up on "vacation" in Iran after a group of these speedboats captured their British Navy asses. I tend to believe this one. Unfortunatley this administration has a history of lies so the doubt will always be there.

I am not sure about "poetry" but comedy for sure. I listen to the presidents weekly podcast just for the entertainment value. It make me laugh every time he slows his speak down and fails miserably trying to say someones name. The boneheaded crap he says and the strange speech patterns he uses make for a very good chuckle each week.
