Leaders of America like to have a war - it deflects from their inadequacies!

And they know that the UK will do whatever they say - and it would usefully deflect from Brexit!

I see Corbyn is getting stick for having simply asked for 'credible proof'...
(it may prove or disprove Iran's involvement)

But why shouldn't he ask?

Anyone else remember the letters 'WMD'? :rolleyes:
 
Gulf of Tonkin rinse and repeat.

Getting boring now. Lol

Yet it never fails to work.
 
Iran has sophisticated anti ship missiles and lots of other stuff, a couple of small limpet mines stuck on the side of a ship doesn't seem very professional.
According to the Americans only the Iranians had the capability to carry out this attack.
They seem to forget that the 9/11 terrorists came for this region and they weren't Iranian.

I suspect that most nations have found out by now that a magnet will stick to a steel ship.

limpet mine technology is about 80 years old.
 
A low tech attack could well hide Iranian involvement ?

Firing a missile at a ship would not be so easily denied ? And would result in immediate retaliation

If Iran cannot sell its oil than they will stop.others in the region doing like wise may be ?

Direct or indirect involvement dare say Iran is involved one way or the other ?

It could just as easily be a bunch of malcontent plumbers on holiday. Or anybody's spooks.

Is there any nation that could not hide behind a low-tech attack?
 
I suspect the intelligence goes further than we all know. But the type of attack, to me at least doesn't prove who done it.
 
45 minutes to launch, did you say?

Oh no, that was gossip from a taxi driver that ended up in the phoney dossier.

Only admitted after we'd participated in a small war.

It's sweet to see that you're willing to believe anything you're told.
 
We need more evidence, is a great excuse for we'd rather not get involved.
You'd rather just yet again wade into a conflict based on heresay?

Hunt branded Corbyn 'pathetic' for asking for 'credible proof'...

Will Hunt say the same to the EU leaders?

Of course not, because he's totally clueless...

And of course as ever when the USA says bend over, the UK reply is how far!
 
According to some sources the bloke who owns the tanker that was attacked said that limpet mines didn't cause the explosion, if that was the case what about this American video of limpet mines being removed.

Must admit, I couldn't see much on that grainy video...

You'd get better footage from a DJI Mavic!
