WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Five Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats harassed and provoked three U.S. Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, CNN reported.

The CNN report on Monday, citing unidentified U.S. officials, said the Iranian vessels came within 200 yards (meters) of the U.S. ships and that after a threatening radio communication, U.S. sailors manned their ships' guns and were very close to opening fire.

Give me a break.

What will these Muslim militarists think of next ? First, it was Palestinian rocks being leveled at tanks and now these blasted Iranian boxes being floated at our ships.

I'm sure the Pentagram is working on it !

Stocks Move Lower After White House Warns Iran About Provocation in the Strait of Hormuz

NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street pulled back Monday after the Bush administration warned Iran following an incident involving that country's forces and three U.S. Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Stocks had opened higher amid speculation about future interest rate cuts but turned lower after reports of the administration's comments appeared on news services.

U.S. forces were on the verge of firing on the Iranian boats in the early Sunday incident, when the boats turned and moved away, a Pentagon official said. The White House on Monday warned it "will confront Iranian behavior" if it threatens the U.S. or its allies.

Concerns about fresh tensions in the Middle East was enough to spook investors on a day with few substantive economic or corporate events. Investors had originally sent stocks higher amid speculation the Federal Reserve will continue its campaign of interest rate cuts to ward off a recession.

Reports on jobs and manufacturing elevated concerns about a recession, and that has turned Wall Street's attention to the Fed's Jan. 29-30 rate-setting meeting. Some clues about the central bank's stance might come when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke gives a speech on Thursday.

Here's what the mad Bomber had to say at a recent speech given at Jackson Hole, WY, “We’ll throw billions ... tens of billions ... even hundreds of billions of newly-printed paper dollars at this crisis if that’s what it takes to bail out irresponsible borrowers and lenders.”

You'll probably want to get rid of a few of those Double-Eagles, and I'll take a few off your hands since I'm sentimentally attached to em.
