Report: U.S. Navy Warship On Fire In Persian Gulf
“Blast” not ruled out as source of blaze

A U.S. Navy warship stationed in the Persian Gulf has reportedly caught fire, with officials not ruling out that a “blast” was the cause of the blaze.
According to Press TV, the vessel was moved to the Iraqi port cities of Al-Bakr and al-Amaya following the fire.
“The sources did not rule out the possibility that a blast had started the fire on the vessel that was said to be “one of the four US warships in the region,” the report added.
U.S. military officials are yet to comment on the report.
Fears of a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation to grease the skids for an invasion of Iran have repeatedly surfaced in the media.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh revealed in July that top Neo-Cons, including Vice President Dick Cheney, had convened to brainstorm ways of building a pretext for a military strike on Tehran.
The meeting took place in Cheney’s office and the subject on the table was “how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,” part of an ongoing effort to provide an excuse to attack Iran. “There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war,” Hersh explains. “The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.”
In January, the Pentagon released video footage and an audio tape that allegedly depicted Iranian aggression against U.S. Navy warships in the Straight of Hormuz.
The video tape failed to show any aggressive action on behalf of the Iranian patrol boats and many dismissed the audio tape as a crude fake.

wow… i cant wait to see how this unfolds.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Does the ship have a name?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:34 am
does this ship exist?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:40 am
It must be Iran !!
It probably ISNT – but then… when Truth is LIES – and right is WRONG – and cowardice is MIGHT – how many ppl question it anymore.

One of the supposed 9/11 hijackers’ passport was found unscorched in the WTC debris.Will they
repeat the trick that worked once and show us a passport “left behind” by an Iranian saboteur commando? Or kidnap an Iranian and torture a confession out of him?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:49 am
This is worrysome
October 20th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Clearly we ALL see that when war mongering people gather together, they seem to have all the gagets and gizmos to continue and promote destruction.
And when people gather together to speak out against such violation of our Constitution, we are met with tear gas?????
We have a Freedom issue that must be addressed.

Could this be the October surprise the neocons have been planning for years?
If Iran gets the blame Bush will declare war and Martial Law and there will be no elections…

Alex Jones is a Jesuit trained trader working for the NWO as a confusion agent, trying to get people to riot in the streets so that martial law will be declared sooner.

Might want to check and see if McCain was aboard. I think the last time he was on a carrier he “wet started” his F-4 and set the plane behind him on fire and almost sank the USS Forrestal. That was only one of the jets he destroyed in his illustrious career. Nice going Sparky. Might explain his graduating 894 out of 899 at the Naval Academy
October 20th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Hope no one on board died. Could just be that some of their ammo exploded. It’s hard to tell that there even was a fire from the picture.
I can’t imagine a sneak attack by anyone on a Navy boat out at sea without them knowing about it. Iran certainly doesn’t have this capability.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
America is so easy to attack becuase so many of it’s citizens always believe it would be a false falg attac. this is good. just remember the name jones is an ancient hebrew name. think, how culd someone with a video camera sneak into a high security meeting at “the grove” and be able to video o much if he wasn’ allowed. (remember, there were not mini recorders back then, the smallest were rather large by todays standards.

That is one of our Pacific aircraft carriers. It’s the CV-70 called the USS Carl Vinson. It may be a stock photo so I dunno….
I guess keep an eye on the propaganda box (TV) and see if they mention it. If they don’t then either A) No big deal or B) REAL big deal. It’s kind of a ‘wait and see’ scenario. And here I was thinking the Financial 9/11 was our October surprise….
October 20th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Forgot to mention, if an aircraft carrier has been targeted and ‘hit’, then there’s something BAD wrong as it is usually in the CENTER of a battle group and the support ships are usually perimeter defense. Also, these ships have underwater radar, so they should have noticed any unusual oceanic objects. If they were ‘attacked’, then I would be thinking false flag…
Iran has no reason to pre-empt an attack.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Dante-Berry..are you just a dip shit or an agent provacatuer for the NWO…what a moron
October 20th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
More likely than not, it’s just a mistake made on the ship. Errors occur everywhere, even
on US Navy ships. Or, maintenance procedures not properly followed. These things happen
all the time.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I think it will look to suspicious because of the timing, I don’t think they can pull it off.

After the initial shelling, fuel and ammunition stores began to erupt with massive explosions that could be heard, and seen, miles away inside the Green Zone where U.S. military and diplomatic units were heavily guarded.
The explosions, all of them termed “immense” by BBC reporters, continued throughout the night.
In response, US aircraft indiscriminately rocketed and bombed various parts of the city, BBC and AFP correspondents eported, trying to knock out the launch sites of the rockets

The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized there is a constitutional right to travel internationally. Indeed, it has declared that the right to travel is “a virtually unconditional personal right.” The United States has also signed treaties guaranteeing “freedom of travel.”
So if these regulations do go into effect, you can expect a lengthy court battle, both nationally and internationally.

Bush is nuetered, top military officials are more likely to resign, or start their own coup rather than obey whitehouse orders to strike iran. I think this probably was just an accident. But even if the fire was caused by an “Iran PT boat” I think the commanders are smart enought to just say it was a fire and not an attack so bush wouldn’t have the ammunition he needs to launch an attack – much like the pilot kennedy sent over cuba did saying the holes in his plane were caused by birds. People are waking up.
October 20th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Follow the leader, except we can assume with BUSH at a 17percent approval that he is the most unpopular president in all of US HISTORY. What kind of legacy is that? In fact Bush feels since he can NOT be the best president the US ever had he might as well be the WORST is all of US History! No wonder why his words facilitate even more of a CRASH. Thanks BUSH for ruining the US economy in record speed. Maybe you can run a small business into the ground after we replace you!
I just say fold the hand lets redeal and We the People play out our hand 10 to 1 odds we win. The art of War says those are good odds no matter what weapons are involved!

@AbuBakerSmith
You are either a sheeple, a shill, or a spook, and that being the case do us all a favor and FUCK OFF!
By the way nice try pretending to be a foreigner by mispelling some of the words in your message as falg and attac. The problem is that you are dealing with Infowarriors and not sheeple and we all know that the government purposely mispelled words such as penicillin as “penicillan” on the anthrax letters sent out after 9/11 so you could blame it on foreigners and start a war with Iraq. Honestly you intelligence officers (an oxymoron by the way) are getting sloppier by the day.
October 20th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I bet it was a sub either from Russia or China. Though more than likely it was some pirates since drug dealers use subs now.
October 20th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
seems like a false report, i havent seen any mention of it in the msm. im sure it would be hyped allready if it was meant to kick off a war.
October 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
hey, you sunk my battleship!
October 20th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Could have serious and far reaching implications, but there isn’t enough information to even know if the report is accurate.
October 20th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Those neo-cons are going to bust if they can’t manage to get another war started. Cheney just does his own thing. They really need to take his cell phone away and put him in an office in the basement or men’s room. He is one shady creepy dude.

when i was in the navy we had an electrical fire in aft stearing when i was a mess crank. it was during lunch too
October 20th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Fires can be caused for many reasons. Since there was no false flag claim like the sinking of the liberty or the Gulf of tomkin I highly suspect it was just a normal fire caused by an explainable circumstance. The real target is Russia and the eventual depopulation thru the use of biologicals. The Iranians have the very best bio weapons and could use them on us with very little problem. It was first being developed when the US removed the peaceful shaw of Iran and installed the radicals that are in power today under new names. Being familiar with incrementalist techniques I would think this posture allows for the utmost population control agenda to be implemented. In the end some will live to foster the new goals which are a utopian society free of war and pestilence. This is a religion they study. They prey to a creature called Molock who looks like an owl but is actually part of a much larger religion. Does anyone care to know that sadaam was sacrificed on the ead. The day of sacrifice in the eastern world muslin religions. Everything is planned. But I dont the fire was. Lets be smart about our accusations. lets pull together to stay alive and avoid the system thats being developed. Get prepared!

Ughhhh They already did that with at least 2 aircraft. As you all can remember it was none other than John McCain who was given (finally allowed) to review the 767ER Tanker Deal, relgated to a lone room where he could not even copy any documents etc. I think John McCain found out that hey “we have two missing aircraft from the inventory”……
And it was TWO 767s that hit the Twin Towers,,,,,, supposedly with people on board, NOT!

Wow…bunch of dumbasses. I’m a conspiracy theorist, but it ain’t just the NeoCons that will steel all of your rights (they’ll only take your fourth and fifth ammendments away from you). The Libs will steal your 1st and 2nd ammendment rights, too. Don’t you get it? Bush=McCain=Kerry=Obama… they’re all the same.

Ah, a mistake, oh, it makes more sense now. Expect more of the same. Ships blowing up with ammo and weapons aboard with the lives of men. Men who should be living at home with a family and garden, trade or job and friends and hobbies, hopes and goals. We were born free and now the ‘STATE’ wants to ‘eat it’s young’. Forced vaccines coming soon. Why should be let them befoul our planet with their lies and bully tactics? Who said we were going to? Not me. Time to prepare. Protect your family, friends and American Constitution from the pure destruction.
