Current Events

Arj,

My remarks were not meant to be an insult to those members of the Animal Kingdom that communicate by means of barking. However, some lower forms of life see the U.S. as the Great Satan no matter what it does. Those same lower forms of life helped get Iran into the rotten state that it currently occupies, and I therefore have nothing but contempt for those West-residing barkers who eat, sleep, and drink anti-Americanism.

Barking;

If someone decides to see only bad that is all they see. A rescue becomes a show; a gift a bribe and cooperation slavery.

If I get this writer is in a Volkswage"Gulf" and reporting.

Re "barking"

Amir1973, my preference here is to express and exchange opinions with those capable of doing so rather than trade vulgarities with West-residing Shaban Bimokhs like you! I voice my opinion, you rebut or voice yours, no one's stopping you! Repeating my words and adding insults does not count, nor does it merit a dignified responce!

So, in case this goes over your head and the Wikipedia-knowlege of yours, let me put it in a language you understand; I'd rather bark than to post the brain farts you try to pass here as opinion, which no matter how hard one tries to ignore, the smell won't allow!

Worthy of being on the Time magazine!

I hope that rescue of Iranian people from the grips of IRR will not require a similar gesture of America (i.e., soldiers on the ground) of course at much larger scale!

But, I am willing to bet that American soldiers  will be hugged and kissed by all Iranian citizens once they are freed from the criminal monsters of IRR.

Good job America

Dear hmj2101, The name of our Persian Gulf is Persian Gulf

Dear hmj2101,

This is just a friendly reminder that the name of our Persian Gulf is Persian Gulf. It has to say it by it's name whenever you refer to our Persian Gulf, otherwise, people thinking you're talking about gulf of Mexico.

Thanks,

Siavash

Yeah

A beautiful mantra: 70 millions more to go!

Read This comment of Faramarz a few times....

"13 Hostages Rescued, 70 Million More to Go!"

:)

.......

Thank you, Bahram G, for your post! I think these fishermen's families probably reported them missing, but IRI did not do a thing.......they just finished one military exercise in the Strait of Hormuz, one military exercise is going on at the Afghan border

2nd Hormuz military exercise is coming in February.

You are right, they don't care about the fishermen!

Chillax*, digital sailors........

Fars is not that off the subject................and as we see it now, it's the American side who's trying to publicize the common, easy to digest naive idea of humanitarian thing..........such thing does not exist in the American establishment.................

*Thanks to Joubin, I have expanded my meager vocabulary.

Yolanda

Im afraid you are looking at things from a human prism. The mullahs are psychologically of a different species. To these shia Islamists human life is cheap and disposable. It is their heinous and delusional view of life that drives them. Perhaps you have heard about these murdering criminals giving Iranian boys made in china plastic keys to paradise and using the kids as minesweepers during the war with Iraq. These creatures, the mullahs, are heartless. They don't give a hoot about some missing fishermen. The RISHOO PASHM have bigger fish to fry than to worry about hard working Iranian fishermen who toil to eat and feed their families.

In short, life means very little to these agents of death.

Bahram G and Yolanda

Dear Bahram G, and Yolanda I am glad you liked the picture too.

Bahram G., There is no fundamental disagreement between US and Iranian People and their interests. unelected-IRI (which does not represent Iranians and does not have Iran's interests in mind),  is a different story.

Yolanda , good questions. In an IRI-free Iran the elected government would have been forced to answer your good questions.

.....

Fars cracked me up. According to MSNBS's report:

//www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45909965

Iran's hard-line Fars news agency had a different take, calling the rescue operation a Hollywood dramatization of a routine event.

The Fars report noted that attacks by Somali pirates in the region are common and said that Iran's navy has itself freed many mariners held by pirates in recent years without seeking to highly publicize it.

"Basically, rescuing trading and fishing boats from the hands of pirates in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden is considered a completely normal issue," Fars said. "A U.S. helicopter filming the rescue operation from the first minute makes it look like a Hollywood drama with specific locations and actors. It shows the Americans tried to publicize it through the media and present the American warship as a savior."

*********************

I got it! IRI is still better and more modest even though they have not done a thing for these 13 fishermen!

..........

Thank you, Iranfirst and Faramarz, for the photo and article! Very touching photo and comment by the Iranian fisherman, "It is like you were sent by God."

The whole thing is sad that Iranians have no freedom in continental Iran. At the same time, Iranians got taken advantage by Somali pirates in the sea.....at the same time, IRI brags about they have radar-evading missiles and they are fully capable of defending themselves. I was wondering what IRI did during the 40 days of Iranian fishermen's captivity? Did IRI make attempt to look for these missing fishermen? How many Iranian fishermen are still held hostages by pirates?

Anti-American barking

A US Navy ship rescues 13 Iranian fishermen being held by pirates days after the Islamist terrorist regime issued threats against that same ship and a West-residing barker calls it a "PR stunt" and invokes "Black OPs" and "pre-war tactics". Perhaps, the ship should have just sailed on by and let the fishermen remain as "guests" of the pirates.

IranFirst

Thanks for the picture. It is my lifelong dream to see the day that Iran and the USA embrace each other in love and togetherness. If and when that happens, the planet would be transformed from the mess that it is today to a reflection of heaven.

Regime Finally Acknowledges the Rescue

A simple "thank you" would have been good, but not coming!

//www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-164551...

Where is IRI's so called Navy?

They have been in this area for many days and were making useless noise .
IRI did not even say anything about these guys being detained for 45
days. Why can't IRI even mention these hostages (let alone tryng to rescue
them)?

The answer is: IRI is not there to care or save IRANIANs, if this was a Palestinian
flotilla, terrorist IRI's ships would be escorting it across the oceans.
The pirates are possibly even related to IRI thugs and share the booty
with them anyways.

Thank you US Navy

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman!

13 Hostages Rescued, 70 Million More to Go!

The evolution!

It's quite evolutionary to see American warships involved in PR stunts rather than Black OPs such as the Gulf of Tonkin Incident! Is that indicative of genuine evolution or revised pre-war tactics?!

A good Picture

Cool!

I'm sure the Iranian Navy would have done the same for American fishermen. And made as good or better PR use of it.

Many Of Our Compatriots In South!

Many Of Our Compatriots In South have dark complexion. These guys are seamen, after all. Iranians are considered brown!

Dhow Crew often speak Urdu

I live in the region and I know most Iranians, as well as Arabs, of the Gulf learn Urdu out of necessity.

God Bless the USA

آمریکا سبب خیر و برکت و توازن دنیاست و جمهوری اسلامی در آرزوی محو کشورها و نابودی تمدن غرب است تا امام زمانی که تا زیر شکم اسبش در دریای خون فرو رفته ظهور کند

..............

I checked Press TV, there is no mentioning of the piracy incident. I am waiting for IRI version of the event! I am not sure if the fishermen have reached Iran or not! Let's see what IRI will say about the incident!

Here is my prediction of IRI version of the story:

What rescue? There is no rescue. It is pure American propaganda!

Americans wanted to fabricate this so-called rescue to justify their existence in PG! :O)

BG:

Are you kidding me? The poor guys have probably applied for US visas already!

G.R, did that actually happen?

I mean ripping the American flag and yelling death to America? Where did you get that info?

hummm

I don't know, they were too dark to be Persians.

The Funnier Part Is:

As soon as the Iranians had recuperated after being fed well and taken care of, a few of them ripped an American flag off its mast and set it on fire while the Somali pirates and other Iranians were chanting "Death to America!" The shocked Americans, on the other hand, just stood by wondering what to do.
