Yes. That USS Cole. Mackie's back in town.
The USS Cole was the target of a bombing by al-Qaeda extremists in October 2000 in the Yemeni port of Aden that killed 17 US sailors. A top US official confirmed the deployment of the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole off the coast of Lebanon on Thursday but declined to say the show of force was meant for Syria or Iran.No, no, no. Hezbollah is a peaceful, humanitarian oriented organization that promotes a free & democratic society. The evil U.S. of A. is the problem.
Washington considers those two countries to be foes of Lebanese democracy.
The pro-Iranian Hezbollah group accused the United States on Friday of endangering regional stability by deploying a warship off Lebanon and vowed to defy what it called an act of military intimidation.Thanks, reuters!
