US ships 'in second rescue of Iranians in Gulf'

[IDemo]

US ships have, for the second time in a week, rescued a group of Iranians in trouble at sea, the Pentagon has said.

A US Coast Guard cutter picked up six Iranian mariners after their vessel broke down in the Gulf.

One of the mariners had suffered burn injuries and was receiving treatment, Coast Guard spokesman George Little told reporters.

A US Navy ship rescued 13 Iranian fishermen last Thursday after they were captured by Somali pirates.

2. Maybe I am too suspicious

But after the pirate rescue, I wondered if it wasn't our military's quiet, Obama-like way of flexing, in the face of the recent Iranian threats.

...wont be pleased!

After all the effort to cause nasty incidents Iranian sailors refuse to cooperate by allowing themselves to be rescued by the infidels.

4. Navy ships resue stranded mariners quite often.

We rescued a boat offshore from San Diego and then another one with Indonesian fisherman later on our deployment.

The funny part is, the first set of people sent out to get the people we found off of San Diego needed to be towed back also.

5. If we had ALL our military personnel doing this stuff instead of

blowing things up it would be a much better world.

6. Maybe gas won't go up to $6.50 a gallon....

Oh wait.. Wall Street WANTS gas to go to $6.50 a gallon to save the dollar and their investments. It has nothing to do with Iran.
