#1 Go in with an unfair advantage and sink it when they get stoopid.

#2 A saboteur aboard would make for much drama on the high seas.

#3 To whom writes in blue, you forgot to mention Hamas won't let the supplies be distributed because they want to force a break in blockades further smuggling in weapons. As a matter of fact, wasn't there also an article about the influx of goods upsetting shopkeepers because it was lowering prices or some thing?

As for the national-religious hierarchy thing, I think they are trying to imply the Zionist, evil machinations controlling the world again.

#4 And the first muslim president will do nothing to discourage such an act. But should the Israelis do anything to protect themselves and there will be all shades of hell to pay.

#5 Why do we keep getting these bizarrely distorted stories from Iranian news sources?

#6 Because it's often a good idea to look at your enemies' mindset?

If you want something warm and comforting, buy yourself a blanket.

#7 The boat is reportedly to be named as "The Audacity of Hope," synonymous with President Barack Obama's popular book.

So it'll leave port smoothly and to much acclaim, but soon run into problems. Engine problems will develop and the ship will slow down. The crew will be revealed as incompetent amatuers unable to deal with any problems. Eventually the engines quit and the Audacity of Hope will lie dead in the water. They will beg a Chinese freighter to tow them into port. It will arrive to international acclaim, the captain will blame a previous crew for all issues and be awarded a swell prize.

#8 To whom writes in blue,

'Tis I, trailing wife. Hi, miscellaneous! They tell me it's periwinkle. :-)

#9 as I read this, the group doesn't have a boat yet

also, a good case can be made that organizers are in violation of the aid to terrorist portion of the 2001 Patriot Act

Let's just see how much the "audacity of hope" fund collects. It may all end up going to defense attorneys

#11 tu- your description of TAOH is very good, but a couple of descriptors were omitted:

while the registration MAY appear to be American, the actually nation of registry is Kenyan, but no amount of investigation will be able to fully discern that to a level acceptable to the masses,
and
the rudder will be jammed to port......

#12 ...the captain will blame a previous crew for all issues and be awarded a swell prize.

He'll be awarded the swell prize the instant they're out to sea. And then there'll be the incident with the strawberries...
