US Navy Unable To Stop Suspected Arms Shipment
The nation's top military officer said Tuesday the United States did all it could to intercept a suspected arms shipment to Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, but its hands were tied.
Separately, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said it is too soon to tell whether the prospect of new U.S. engagement with Iran will bear fruit.
Mullen confirmed that a Cypriot-flagged ship intercepted in the Red Sea last week was carrying Iranian arms, and U.S. authorities suspect that the shipment was ultimately bound for the Gaza Strip, where Hamas and Israel are observing a shaky truce after three weeks of fighting.

This kind of stuff scares me.

Re: US Navy Unable To Stop Suspected Arms Shipment
Maybe I'm thinking about it too simplistically, but we CAN'T stop arms shipments? Aren't there secret ops for that? Or have I seen too many movies?

I thought this was one of our strong suits too.

We can't LEGALLY stop them. That is the problem. To start with 100 miles off the coat of any nation is considered their legal domain. It would be like us invading Canada and wiping out a suspected arms dealer...not that this is a bad idea mind you...but they are a sovergn nation still

Re: US Navy Unable To Stop Suspected Arms Shipment
The problem is with a secret ops is we already boarded this ship to discover the arms...then if something "Mysteriously" happens to it...well...why even have a secret ops when everyone knows it was us?
Personally I would expect Israel to do this as the ship is heading towards Gaza or wherever

Every Palestinian mother dreams of the day her son can die in Jihad while killing a jew. Bombs strapped to their bodies was the prefered method until the wall

Really? How many Palestinians do you know personally? Also how many Israelis do you know personally?
