Morning, peeps.
Pepe called me last night and claimed that the Iranians actually kidnapped the British sailors, and not what I reported earlier. If this is so I apologize, but here's why it can't be:
- Great Britain has a yooge modern navy and bunch of highly-trained sailors. Iran's biggest vessel has two outboard motors, and is manned by what appears to be hobos wearing drapes and turbans.
- The British vessels have sophisticated radar and GPS tracking that allows them pinpoint navigation, and the ability to monitor their environment for over 50 miles in every direction. The only cloaking available to the Iranian sailors are lying down in the boat and running on only one outboard (stealth mode).
- British seamen are well-armed with the latest weaponry. The Iranians have rusty Soviet pocket knives and a bunch of sharp clam shells.
I think we can all agree that it is unlikely at best that the Iranian Navy somehow snuck up and captured those British seamen. I'm sticking with my original story below.
Scooter peace out.
