Iran now claims that the British Sailors and Marines that it took hostage a few days ago have confessed to invading Iranian territorial waters. Well, assuming this is true – and what possible reason could we have to doubt the Iranians? – you HAVE to wonder what excuse the British government will come up with for being there.
I speculate thusly:
- There was a lot of heavy betting on the camel races and they didn’t trust their bookie to pay off.
- Trying to unload a shipment of genuine, licensed, “300”-logo burkas.
- Ship’s mascot – Fluffy the Cat – needed a litterbox refill.
- Took Carter’s advice on how to get a free 444 day vacation.
- Iraq, Iran… you can’t catch EVERY typo.
- Helpless to steer away from the seductive, siren-like song of Iranian saber-rattling.
- Tweaking the Iranians noses by showing them what an unsunk Navy looks like.
- Came to deliver humanitarian aid in five megaton increments.
- They simply drifted off course because the ship’s navigator was distracted by a piquant cup of Earl Grey.
- Investigating the connection between global warming and camel flatulence.
- Thought there was a big tent sale going on and wanted to take advantage of the low, low prices.
- Responding to Grail-shaped beacon
- Just comin’ by to Rock the Casbah, baby!
- Falkland flashbacks. Please disregard.
- Bush said “just give us an excuse”. What were we SUPPOSED to do? He paid in crumpets for God’s sake!
- Wanted to borrow a cup of crazy from Ahmadinejad.
And whatever you do, don’t add your own speculation in the comments.
Wouldn’t want to risk inflaming the “Arab Street” ya know.
I hear the Brits real mission was one of psychological warfare. The Royal Marines were to go ashore and tack up posters of world-famous Persian homosexual Freddie Mercury everywhere…
The British soldiers like the Swiss a couple of months ago, got lost, and you know men they will never stop and ask for directions.
Sorry, nothing funny comes to mind.
Support for the gov’t in Iran is crumbling. The only way they can solidify the population is to get Britain, Israel, or the U.S. to attack them.
If it weren’t for the gravity of the situation, I’d just say (yawn).
The Brits were not in Iranian territorial waters, but they were using an Iranian Wi-fi hotspot to download pirated music. So the Iranians HAD to act, they can’t afford to fight an RIAA lawsuit dontcha know.
“Wouldn’t want to risk inflaming the “Arab Street” ya know.”
Actually, we would like to inflame all the arab streets. Preferably with a MOAB.
you ,mother f***er american ,every where you go you creative hell ,every where you go you creative pain !!!! you stinky assss u need a showr
That’s the ticket. Spew filth, make snide insults and don’t sign your post. Way to go. Are you by any chance Muslim, liberal or a Demoncrat? P.S. get Grammar For Dummies, you have punctuation issues. Ever notice trolls get all confused when they don’t use the F bomb as a punctuation mark.
What our government needs to do is to pull in all of the free aid going out to countries whose people hate us and who demonstrate against us. When they’re eating their socks they may feel differently about the “Terrible Americans,” meanwhile we can pay down the national debt, lower taxes and feed everyone here in this country for a change.
Actually, the anonymous troll is right.
When Americans invades a country, they do create hell, pain, and sexually-satisfied mothers.
Iran would do well to remember that.
Harvey, you appear to be in the running for “best comment ever” award.
They were trying to deliver Ahmadickhead’s triple pork pizza in 30 minutes or less.
Nice comment from a lefty troll! Typical from a moron loser from the queer nation…can’t spell and can’t think…idiot! Go home and take another one up the keister and then go to another Al Gore rally!
