And the Funny Part!

The funny part is that the Regime didn't even know that these fishermen were missing or were taken as hostages, while they claim that their Navy is capable of monitoring the Persian Gulf and a big chunk of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean!

Here is the only piece of news in the Regime's sites about this incident.

Smells fishy

Reported by WSJ: //online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203513604577144771933433572.html#articleTabs%3Dcomments%26commentId=3557780

 My comments about this article:

It smells fishy. I think we need more explanation or else they should retract the article. It says the master starts speaking Urdu a language that he hoped the Somali pirates won't understand! First of all if this was an Iranian vessel then the language spoken onboard is Persian and Urdu is spoken in Pakistan. Second, if we assume one wants to pick a language that is not understood by the pirates, well just speak your own language, which is Persian, because Somali pirates unless they are linguists will not only do not comprehend or understand Urdu, but I also bet $10,000 (Kerry's style) that they also do not understand Persian.

So as we speak, question is risen among the conspiracy theorists camp over a glass of wine, that this is just a show put by US Special Forces from dressed as Somali pirates in order to end the saga in this fashion, so that US navy comes out as a compassionate force. Or is this a joint effort by both Iran and US to merge the issues into a peaceful scenario. Iranians do not speak Urdu, even in Baluchistan, unless you go deep into the border with Pakistan. It smells fishy, unless the boat master is a linguist that can switch from Persian to Urdu to Swahili to Sanskrit and beyond....

Dear Bahram G., President Faramarz, & Anonymous Observer!

Great to see that three of you have started 2012 with much love, affection, and great sense of honor and patriotism for your adopted country America the great!

Three of you like three roses of Shiraz have beautified this great garden called America.

May your names be engraved across the four corners of this great nation as the glorification of Iranian men of principle, integrity, and convictions for justice!

You are the trinary star system and God bless you all!

Indeed Oon Yaroo Jaan, Indeed!!!

More details from LA Times:

"When the Kidd made radio contact with the dhow, the captain identified himself as Iranian and initially denied that any pirates were on board.

However, it became clear that he was "under duress" when the Iranian began speaking in Urdu so that the Somalis could not understand what he was saying, said the Kidd's captain, Cmdr. Jennifer Ellinger. The Kidd had a linguist on board who could understand Urdu, a South Asian language.

After revealing that there were indeed pirates on board, the Iranian "pleaded with us to come over and board their vessel," Ellinger said.

The U.S. sailors boarded the vessel without firing a shot and detained the Somalis, who were being held aboard the Stennis awaiting a decision on whether they would be prosecuted, Faller said.

The Iranian said the pirates had been using his vessel as a "mother ship," a base from which to mount other raids.

After its crew received food and water, the dhow went on its way, crew members wearing smiles and Kidd baseball caps, Faller said."

US Navy Rescues Iranian Fish Nema!

So Where the Heck Was IRI's Navy!?

Iranian citizens were held hostage in their own backyard for 40-45 days by the Somali skinnies and would be held even longer if the yanks hadn't arrived.

This is while IRI's so-called navy was busy littering the Persian Gulf/Arabian Sea's already polluted waters with its useless junk.

What a bunch of BS artists.

The free world needs help Iranians to put "zaif-kosh" IRI out of its misery asap.    

Oon Yaroo jaan

It is so refreshing to see people like you who are unabashedly grateful to America for opening its doors to people disenfranchised in their own native lands. It is chic to come to America, enjoy its offerings, yet knock it down at every turn. You are a precious breath of fresh air. Thanks for diffusing your exhilarating perfume of gratefulness. I'm sure the poor Iranian fishermen also are grateful for being rescued from the thuggish Somali pirates.

Best regards

I hope these fishermen won't get into trouble with IRI when they go home. I have a feeling none of them wanted to appear on camera for this incident.

You never know....they may get interrogated for contacting the "enemy" for help.

..........

I am glad that hostages are freed, so they can be reunited with their families! I hope there is no war and I also hope we have this type of happy endings all the time!

do you think

the mullahs would do the same for american fishermen???

no way, they would be in evin before you could say 'hostage'!

what an 'aberooo reezy' for the idiot mullahs :)

Well...

Thant was very nice of them. Thank you!

Thank You And God Bless America!
