TEHRAN — The Revolutionary Guards in Iran accused the United States on Wednesday of fabricating a video showing Iranian speedboats confronting United States Navy warships in the Persian Gulf over the weekend, according to a report carried by the semi-official Fars news agency and state-run television.

“Images released by the U.S. Department of Defense about the Navy vessels are from archive, and sounds on it are fabricated,” an unnamed Revolutionary Guards official said, according to Fars. The news agency has close links to the Revolutionary Guards. The comments were Iran’s first on the video, which the Pentagon released Tuesday. (Full article)

President Ahmadinejad and his government are living in a fantasy world. This man is as crazy as they come.

Including the rocket fired into Israel from Lebanon, there are too many incidents in the past few days. I believe Iran is trying to get away with something and trying to divert attention from something. But again, it may be just trying to scare Israel while President Bush is in the area. In any event, Iran is up to something and the possibilities are endless.

In my opinion, The U.S. ships should have blown the Iranian boats out of the water and let Ahmadinejad deal with the aftermath on the world stage. This is why we need a strong President who won't back away from the Iranians, Syrians and Russians.
