The USS Whidbey Island fired the warning shots on Dec. 19 in response to a small Iranian boat that was rapidly approaching it, said a U.S. Navy official.
"One small (Iranian) craft was coming toward it, and it stopped after the Whidbey Island fired warning shots," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
It was the first official confirmation that the United States had fired warning shots in any recent confrontation with Iran in the Gulf..."
So I'm listening to the Laura Ingraham show as she plays excerpts from audio tapes of the incident, and suddenly there's gunfire erupting in the background. Gunfire? Yep. High-caliber automatic gunfire. But, she and her crew had thoroughly vetted the tapes as they lined them up for presentation so why no mention of it?
"What was that noise?" Miss Ingraham offered as the shots ran out, "Ha, seems like someone got their shirt caught in a breeze..."
No amount of donations could be enough to buy her a clue.
