Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 ABOARD THE FISHING VESSEL AL MULAHI, in the Gulf of Oman — Senior Iranian military officials this week bluntly warned an American aircraft carrier that it would confront the “full force” of the Iranian military if it tried to re-enter the Persian Gulf. On Friday, Fazel Ur Rehman, a 28-year-old Iranian fisherman, had a warmer greeting for the carrier task force. “It is like you were sent by God,” said Mr. Rehman, huddled under a blanket in this vessel’s stern. “Every night we prayed for God to rescue us. And now you are here.” In a naval action that mixed diplomacy, drama and Middle Eastern politics, the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis broke up a high-seas pirate attack on a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, then sailors from an American destroyer boarded the pirates’ mother ship and freed 13 Iranian hostages who had been held captive there for more than a month. . . . http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/07/world/middleeast/for-iranians-held-by-pirates-us-to-the-rescue.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Three wives and seven children to feed. Hmmmmmm. Perhaps he should button his fly and do something productive, not reproductive. If you can't feed them, don't breed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
