Faked Provocations at Sea
Too freaking much!
The SAME DAY after it was reported that the Gulf of Tonkin incident (which led to a massive escalation of the Vietnam war), was absolutely an admitted FAKE-- the US reports an encounter with Iranian speedboats (official video here).
Today the Iranians claim the video was FAKED! (NYTimes here)
Reminds me a bit of the story of the boy who cried wolf-- the US being the boy in this case.
I'm not sure what Iran was doing-- sending little speedboats around warships isn't exactly a huge provocation, though obviously after the USS Cole incident the navy could be rightfully nervous. Apparently there was some threat made over the radio, and the whole story on that is unclear. On some reactionary talk radio show this morning, the host was all in a bother about this incident, and some guy said the Iranian boats were dropping boxes in the water that could have been explosives. I couldn't see that myself in the video.
UPDATE: I also have to wonder how much Iran took into account the 9/11 video fakery in making the claim of faked video....

It's easier to understand what's going on if you just ask yourself who has the most to gain from provoking an attack: Iran or bush & associates?
speedboats! too funny.
