So are we gonna foot the bill for the Iran war to get back the Brits or are they gonna show us what they got?

there will be no iran war, there will be no iraq war, general plosie is cutting off all war funding and bringing the troops home, there will be peace in our time.

Allah willing.

What England should do is go grab 15 Iranian RevGuards and say "Ha!" we caught your boys pissing in the girls room, can we trade now?

Few months ago, the same tactic was used by Hezbolah, with israeli soldiers,
but the israelian reaction was quick punch back,devasteting for Hezbolah/ Liban, maybe is the only way to deal with them, and i'm expecting to see anytime a "Breaking News".................

Britain does not negotiate. The Iranians already know this, it's why they went to the US and asked for prisoner release.

The whole situation is weird though. The Sailors boarded a merchant vessel in Iraqi waters, there were RN choppers overhead who apparently missed the Iranian ships arriving then, Iran tells the Brits "We caught your guys here (GPS Co-ords)", Naval Intelligence checks out the co-ords and they're in Iraqi waters and they say "But that's Iraqi waters" and Iran turns around and changes the co-ords to somewhere completely different.

No, China foots the bill, the US just pays the interest

I am a civil libertarian, through and through.

On occasion however I get a dark little desire for a Right Wing Coup/revolution in the west for no other reason than to silence the media and round up the pacifists in government for the sole purpose of being able to deal with these international threats with the ruthless efficiency necessary.

I'd like nothing more than a Tomahawk missle to find its way to Ahmadijinad's Office, but the limp wristed idiots in the west would crucify anyone with the balls to do such a thing.

I dont think there will be a war with Iran...

The socialist party in power will not permit there to be a war...

However the president does have the ability to act (for 30 days I beleive) without the consent of congress.

It should have nothing to do with the British Servicemen but solely because a nuclear armed Iran is a direct threat to the National Security of the United States and the western world.

In any event, if we dont act Isreal will and I cast my ballot to refund any costs associated with expended ordinance to them for having the stones to do what needs to be done...

The Iraniain President is the threat from pre-WWII reincarnated and need we ask Neville Chamberlin how well negotitations and appeasement went with that Lunatic, or should we ask the millions of people who died as a result of this policy.

"Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat them".

We need a new war to entertain us. The Iraq thing is getting stale.

I was kinda wondering about the capture myself. There would have been a Royal Nave Ship right there. How in the world did this happen to begin with. Did the Cornwall just sit and watch the iranians take thier peopel?

Mabe we should ask Jimmy Carter's advice on how to deal with this.

From what i have heard the whole thing seems planned. They moved in once the boarding party had finished inspecting, and the chopper was on its way back to HMS Cornwall.

Couple of Sea Skua missiles would have soon put an end to the Iranian ambush
