| 'Greece holding Iran-bound missile ship' |
| 2009-02-07 |
| Greek authorities are holding an Iran-bound ship carrying materials for the manufacture of surface-to-surface missiles, the Elefterotipia newspaper reported Friday. According to the Greek paper, the ship, called the Susanna, left a port in Slovenia more than a month ago. The Jerusalem Post could not independently confirm the report. Last week, the Cypriot Navy stopped a Syria-bound Iranian ship, believed to be carrying weapons for Hamas. The US military had previously stopped the vessel in the Red Sea, but allowed it to continue because the US could not legally stop its journey or seize its cargo. The Cypriot-flagged Monchegorsk is currently anchored off the island's southern port of Limassol, and Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias said last Friday that the ship had violated UN resolutions. |

| #3 Obambi is under a LOT of stress, lotp, with all his "friends" having tax problems or nanny problems. He may not make it to July without a major heart attack. That's going to be REALLY bad, because I don't think anyone wants slow-Joe Biden as president. Those people that elected the Obambi empty suit to a major position of both power and stress will soon find out why "executive experience" is absolutely necessary in a President. I'm sure we have a nuke hunter-killer sub in the Med, with some excellent torpedos. It would be nice for these vessels carrying weapons to Hamass to catch one in the keel. Do it on a "dark and stormy night". |

| #1 the US could not legally stop its journey heh True, very true, unless times demand it, in which case the ancient law of Rule Britannia is invoked. Being the sucessor state and family member of said RuleMaker,the executive arm of the real Law-of-the-Sea will be allowed to, Stop, Board, Disable or Sink as circumstances require. |
