Post Olympics skirmish anyone?
Post Olympics skirmish anyone?
BBC News - US Navy ship 'fires on boat in Gulf'
Things are getting tasty in the Middle East. What's the bets we have a little skirmish out there post Olympics to take our minds off the collapsing Government coalition and the worsening global economic doom? I wonder what odds William Hill will offer of war with either Syria or Iran by the end of the year?? 10-1?
The best bet would be to buy a Crude Oil ETF - either war crude will rocket from it's current 9 month lows.

Killing an Indian fisherman and three others is not likely to enrage the Iranians or increase the price of oil. It does, however, reinforce my opinion that whenever Americans have armed weapons, the safest place to be is well away from them.

Grim,
Your cunning plan to anticipate the price of crude has a fatal flaw. These days, all the state has to do is call the bank!

According to the BBC website, there are rumours of chemical weapons in Syria...
Anyone else getting a feeling of deja view over this?
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.....

I think a quote from that mighty war leader George Dubya might be a little more apposite:
Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Reassuring to see that such blinkered xenophobia (aka racism) is alive and well amongst number of the members here. Not to mention a firm and coherent grasp of reality. Not.
The BBC report was pretty specific, what the **** else do you suggest a warship does in such circumstances, throw a copy of the Guardian at it and ask if they had a troubled childhood?
For shame.

I think you maybe need to catch up with reality,
it is way past rumours.
That is why the US is so concerned because the Syrians may have
started moving the chemical weapons, not just IF they have them.
