……and they carried out the attack with Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Sorry, after our government history of lying to it’s own people and our allies, we all want more than some grainy video of an unknown ship doing an unknown action.
Chip, unless you still stand behind W’s Yelloowcake ( Uranium) from Niger. Or Colin Powell’s vial of death and destruction.
Chip believes that the Tooth Fairy attacked the Maddox and the C Turner Joy in the Gulf of Tonkien.
Draft a Resolution providing for action against the TOOTH FAIRY!!
Ask Colin Powell.“POWELL: My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we’re giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence… There is no doubt in my mind …Clearly, Powell’s loyalty to Bush extended to being willing to deceive the world: the United Nations, Americans, and the coalition troops about to be sent to kill and die in Iraq. He’s never been held accountable for his actions, and it’s extremely unlikely he ever will be.” https://theintercept.com/2018/02/06/lie-after-lie-what-colin-powell-knew-about-iraq-fifteen-years-ago-and-what-he-told-the-un/
Let’s see here. First, given the government’s past record such as: The Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Iraq WMDs just to name three. Next, consider the record level of lying from this maladministration: everything from the size of the Traitor’s crowds on up, with more lies per month than all other 44 presidents combined for their entire terms of office. Sure, let’s believe the Iranians did it, and for those who do believe the government’s story I have some lovely lake bottom land, and a nice selection of bridges, for sale.
Sorry Chip, I’m not buying the bu****it this time any more than I did the last two times the government tried to snow us. I say stay the hell out of Iran.
Someone on this forum recently pointed out that no wartime president has ever failed to be reelected. I investigated it, and that person is correct (Washington, Madison, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Nixon and Bush). I think I see the logic behind the current drum beating.
Only a right wing stooge cartoonist would be putting garbage like this out so soon in the dispute. A thinking person might wait for all the evidence to show up. Shame on Mr. Bok.
If that video is true, all it shows is Iranian sailors heroically risking life to remove an explosive from the side of that ship. Iran should be congratulated.
Mr. Bok: Re. The video which is purported to show a mine being removed from a tanker by some persons in the boat (in your sketch); that tanker was not burning and did not burn.
I’ve noticed for a long time that folks world-wide don’t trust the US… not to do what’s right, not to honor agreements, and definitely not to tell the truth.
As of 2016, more or less, I’ve come to the conclusion that, whether or not they were right to judge us that way, they are right now: I don’t believe what this administration tells me either. Is it a false flag operation? Might very well be, and no matter who in this government tells me it’s not, I will believe they either were fooled too, or they are lying. It would be good if some non-biased independent observers would report what they find out.

Considering the lies that caused us to get into the Middle East in the first place, I suspect the face on the flag should be a Saudi.

Um, wasn’t the photo of Iranian forces ASSISTING an oil tanker? (Whose captain said that they had suffered an air attack?)
