This Should be Interesting: Blockade Runners to Try Once More

...aboard the good ship SS Rachel Corrie.

No, really.

Quote
Israel's Army Radio reported that the MV Rachel Corrie, a converted merchant ship, would reach Gazan waters by Wednesday.

A Marine lieutenant who was not named told Army Radio that he expected an easy takeover of the ship.

"We as a unit are studying, and we will carry out professional investigations to reach conclusions," the lieutenant said, referring to a skirmish in which his unit shot nine international activists aboard the Turkish ferry.

"And we will also be ready for the Rachel Corrie," he added.

Rumors are swirling that the IDF will be dropping a bulldozer on the ship.

IDF forces, "Ship? What ship? We don't know nothing 'bout no ship."

I saw a photo of this flotilla! the first one was the size of a cruise ship! did I see that correctly? did anyone else see that? I digressed... :hammer:.... these evil people will do this until they get no more press! It reminds me of how Saddam would store children s body's in a morgue  and put them out for photo ops.

The news reports refer to something about a ferry, I expect that big ship (Did seem pretty damned huge) is probably an oceanic ferry.  Would kind of make sense as a cargo carrier for fast unloading in primitive or indeterminate dock conditions, I suppose.

Not that I expected it to get anywhere near docking in Gaza myself, which indeed seems to have been resolved in favor of the blockading force at this point.
