Iranian warships enter Suez Canal

Israel calls move "provocative"

BBC: Two Iranian warships have entered the Suez Canal to make a passage to the Mediterranean Sea, canal officials say. Iranian officials have said the warships are headed to Syria for training, a mission Israel has described as a "provocation". "They entered the canal at 0545 (0345 GMT)," Suez Canal officials said. It is believed to be the first time since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution that Iranian warships have passed through the waterway. Iran's request stated the vessels would have no military equipment, nuclear materials or chemicals on board, the Egyptian defence ministry is quoted as saying >>>

Are you familiar with your countryman Ivica Kostelic?! If not, why not?!  I suggest if you're having a glass of water set it aside and get to know him better since he is and will likely remain #1 this year! 

Everything is sacred

What

by MRX1 on Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:10 AM PST

are they taking to syria with these ships? more money that mullah's stole from the poor people in Iran?  more free oil?what's the deal. I don't think Isreal or any one is afraid of the two ships that are forty some years old. They both can be taken out in less than an hour with couple of airforce jets.

But they got cocky (arrogant) and see what Greeks did to them

by Mash Ghasem on Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:13 AM PST

Never get caught in a narrow water way, with angry Greeks waiting on both sides to block you.

And of course we also got cocky and arrogant with Arabs  and see what's been happening for the past 13 centuries to us.
