Heckler ("the Filipino Monkey") behind US-Iran boat incident

....actually, the Pentagon propaganda machine is behind it, pretending they don't know about this....

A threatening radio message at the end of a video showing Iranian patrol boats swarming near U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf may have come from a prankster rather than from the Iranian vessels, the Navy Times newspaper has reported.

A video and audio of the Jan. 6 incident in the Strait of Hormuz featured a man in accented English saying "I am coming to you. ... You will explode after ... minutes."

Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, spokeswoman for the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, said the Navy was still trying to determine the source of the transmission but believed it was related to the Iranian actions.

The Iranian boats were coming close to the ships, making aggressive maneuvers and objects were being dropped into the water," she told The Associated Press.

However, the Navy Times, a weekly newspaper published by the Gannett company, quoted several veteran sailors as speculating the transmission could have come from a heckler widely known among sailors in the region by the ethnically insulting term "the Filipino Monkey."

When has he ever taken back anything??

will the insane crop of fools running to become the next republican president take *their* absurd comments (from the repub debate last weekend) on this issue back (I think the answer is "no", which makes it even more baffling that anyone would vote for any one of them)?
