H2, all due respect to General Khalfan, but when you say you interviewed one side only, and you believe their version without so much as taking into account that there are two sides, let alone looking into the other side... you just lost all credibility. But then again, what the hell can you expect? It was a habibi-owned boat, and they complained after being stupid that the trigger happy Yanks opened up on them with a .50 cal. Do you really expect Dubai police to EVER call locals on their bullsh*t antics especially when the other side is not local? PUHLEEZ.... can't have a habibi lose face.
And of course, US Navy is a bunch of cowboys who randomly shoot poor innocent fishermen in sovereign territorial waters of a host country. Right... yeah, that's it.
Ever served in the US military? Have a slightest clue about the rules of engagement? Have a clue how many American servicemen died due to political correctness when it comes to ROE? If not, all due respect, but go back to whining about EK/EY.
