Interesting. The german media told that this happened in iranian waters and not in iraqi waters.

Reminds me, when the USS Vincennes shot down the iranian civilian aircraft in 1988, killing 290 people including 66 children.
The media also reported that the Vincennes was in international waters when it was attacked by iranian gunboats.

Years later it came clear that the USS Vincennes was in iranian waters when this all happened.

But in one thing I can agree: There are indeed some people who would lke to see a war against Iran.

So lets see, if this will be a minor event - like in 2004 when british soldiers were captured in iranian territory and released a few days later or if this event escalates to a war.


EDIT: What the hell ist the "Arab" Gulf ????? Is this a new name for the Persian Gulf?

No - I mean the reports of the ship-positions are similiar.
I really dont think that a military officer - especially from the USA - would intentionally give the order to shoot down a civilian aircraft.

I mean the reports in the media according the position of the ships.

In the Vincennes case first every media western reported it was in international waters.
Then decades later the truth was reported - when the case was long forgotten.

Now again it is reported that iranians were attacking a foreign ship outside iranian waters.

So I said that these actual reports reminded me of the vincennes reports.

If they were in Iran waters then I have no problem with them being detained but Iran made comments the other day that they were going to take prisoners because they said the US is holding Iranians in Iraq.

The two may not be related but I some how doubt it.

Had to emphasize the numbers of dead not to mention the numbers of children.

So it's " No I don't think was an intentional shooting. But the US is still the devil for dong it."

Pfft

1. The US is not a devil (In fact there is nothing like a devil, because Frodo succesfully tossed the ring in the fire - so he died ;) )

2. And because so many people simply forgot the Vincennes case I mentioned the number of death and the unusual high percentage of death children, because I fear that some people could think it was a small plane with a crew of 4 people.

3. I still want to know what the ARAB gulf is ? Is this a new freedom fries campaign of renaming ?

The interview with the Brit ship commander the inflatable was operating from indicated the boat was in Iraqi waters. I am curious where the Brits ship was so they couldn't see or react to this situation. Where was the inflatable operating from?? The ship Commander said they got the info from the helo that was covering the inflatable.

I am wondering why there is so little info from Iran over this. You'd think they'd be all over this for the propoganda.

Some you are worse than 'The Media' you are forever castigating, wanting a conflict no matter how silly the 'spark'. Grow up.

This is just an attention seeking gambit. They'll be released inside a week and that will be that.

The mullahs are the most corrupt beings in the world.

I also think (and hope) that the british soldiers will be released very soon.
