Someone might want to tell this particular batch of Iranians that there are far less complex ways to commit suicide.


Reminds me of a similar situation off Somalia last summer - local talent in three speedboats attack a US navy guided missile cruiser and a destroyer, come on with all guns (couple of AK-47s and a grenade launcher) blazing. Action over in 15 seconds - three speedboats sunk, half the bad guys dead, no damage to the big gray ships at all.

When asked "what the f**k were you thinking?", the surviving leader of the bad guys said "We had you outnumbered - there were three of us and only two of you."

Sheesh.

Best Regards,
