U.S. Navy's Rescue of Iranian Sailors Fraught with Irony

We don't have a problem with regular people from ANY country. It's their govt's and policies that we are threatened by. That & religions that tell masses of people that it's their duty to kill & harm people who don't believe in any 1 given religion.

Go Navy!

Imagine that. Iran threatens the United States Navy and United States Of America that helped defeat the evil of Hitler and Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War 2 and other wars and fights for freedom and liberty. Well, that is the same United States Navy and United States Of America that exists today. Iran is the one that needs to gets it's head and heart in the right direction and change for the better. Further more, Israel is here to stay. Why? Because GOD says so.

Thanks for this article...I missed this one.

FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS " USS KIDD ". FROM HTC. CHIPS!

It's interesting how the Iranian "Navy" thinks they are powerful enough to force us out of a particular INTERNATIONAL region, yet they were unable to rescue their own people for over 40 days from a group of poorly armed and trained pirates. Yeah, I'm worried about the Iranian "Navy"...
GO USA!

They should have flung the pirates overboard and let them swim to land.

And how exactly did they go about releasing these people because you know Iran is going to claim they were kidnapped by the Americans for information and that there were no pirates.

That's right kill them with kindness.

some says how on earth Iran can threatens US navy ???
I would say : POWER OF MADNESS.
that is why how you dont want to loose NOTHING but Iran is ready to loose MUCH.

As an Iranian I thank the service men who saved the 13 Iranians from the pirates but I will never forget nor do I see a reason to forgive the American government. Is the American government the good guy now? Why is it that mainstream media so easily forgets and downplays the atrocious crimes by the US but just as Iran does something negative or the US does something positive, it becomes a headline?
Just a small part of the list:
- American drone strikes have killed at least 160 children in Pakistan.
- US led NATO gunships killed 25 Pakistani soldiers about a month ago.
- Many American politicians such as Donald Rumsfeld have been accused of war crimes by the Humans Rights Watch.
- That the US has supported and funded anti-Iranian groups such as the PEJAK, MKO( guilty for the killing of thousands of Iranian civilians) and the judullah. That even Jundullah's leader (guilty for the killing and beheading of Iranians such as the civilians in the 2009 Zahedan explosion) has been invited on VOA, the official external broadcast institution of the United States federal government to speak and was presented as a freedom fighter.
- That the US gave Saddam weapons to use against Iran ( including chemical weapons that we used to kill more than 100,000 Iranian and Kurdish civilians, including anthrax.) These weapons were far more than those given to Iran over the hostage crisis.
- That since the 1950's the CIA has had vast Unethical human experimentation including torture methods, chemical weapons.
- That the USA killed 290 Iranians by shooting Iran Air Flight 655 down over the Strait of Hurmuz.
- That the recent report on Iran's nuclear activities came short of proving the existence of any nuclear threat.
-That sanctions on spare plane parts have led to Iranian planes crashing and innocent Iranians dying.
- Everyone heard of America's claims of Iran's alleged "assassination plot" of the Saudi ambassador, did you ever know at least 3 Iranian scientists have been assassinated so far over the Nuclear Power Crisis?
- Depleted uranium has caused genetic malfunctions in children in countries such as Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
- That "democracy loving" America has overthrown more than 50 (mostly democratic) foreign governments after world war 2, including Iran's in 1953.
-America established and openly supported the shah's dictatorial regime in Iran.
- That illegal espionage equipment was found at the American embassy in Iran.
- Everyone has heard of the 3 American hikers, how many know anything about Mir Gholi Khan, an Iranian national that has claimed to be tortured in the USA and held without an open trial?
190000- American weapons have gone missing in Iraq.
- The US attacked Afghanistan and destabilized the region, killing thousands with the excuse of searching for Bin Laden. Then after killing him, they brought up no proof and "dumped him into the sea". That is like a big insult to Muslim countries, and BTW nor do I, nor does any other Muslim that I know believe that the dead have to be immediately buried, or worse, dumped in the sea. Why did the Obama administration bring up such an excuse?
...and a long list of other crimes and events that are easily downplayed to this day, like Nano thermite explosives found at Ground Zero, the false evidence that lead to the Iraq Invasion and...

Some of these reports might turn out to be wrong even though they have all been leaked from credible sources, but how come they never make the headlines but then even the most baseless claims against Iran are all over the place?
