“This is my worried face.”
THIS JUST IN: Do you hear that? That’s the sound of scary international tension! Things have gotten pretty natty in the Persian Gulf after 15 British marines were captured by Iranian forces earlier today on charges that they illegally entered Iranian waters to board a suspcious-looking ship. The Brits say “nay,” they were just doing their job and actually boarded the suspicious-looking ship in Iraqi waters, just like the U.N. says they can.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: So, the British government is all worried about their 15 sailors and Iran is blabbing about its borders, but I’m wondering: What the hell was in the ship? U.S. Military planners who are smart like me are wondering the same question. In what looks like an obvious move to build a case for a strike on Iran, the U.S. State Department has already dug up some pretty scary intelligence regarding what they believe is on the ship:
1) Terrorists
2) Nigerians with nuclear bombs instead of arms and legs
3) Al-Qeada
4) 9/11, part II
5) 45,000 bootleg copies of “300″
FAST FACT: If history and Hollywood are to be believed–and they are–we should only need 300 soldiers and some heavy, heavy metal to beat the entire Persian–I mean, Iranian Army.
