And where exactly are all these people that are calling for war? Did you women even read the other posts, or did you just ASSume that this thread was going to be filled with people calling for war?

Listen girly man, the two posts that I read before I began my post read:

If this isn't cause for war against Iran, I don't know what it.

It would nice if Blair throws the first counter-punch and then asks Bush for help.

You should start reading the entire thread before you start in with your weirdo rants. You found ONE person saying that what the Iranians did is cause for war, but I see your post and Browntowns post filled with "you people", "they", "their", etc...

I'm a little curious though, why is it that you and your buddies completely ignore the actions of the Iranians, which could easily be construed as an act of war?

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in this situation as has happened in the past. I wonder if they actually encroached upon and entered Iranian waters.

It was probably a misunderstanding, but either way, it seems like a really bad move on the Iranians part.

The area is disputed.

Iraq claims it is their water while Iran claims it is theirs.

Whatever the reason, Britain should stay the hell out of the area. Let the Persians and Arabs deal with it.

Or maybe they should board and scuttle an Iranian Patrol boat, of course immediately handing over the Iranian Sailors.

Absolutely. They seem to be the ultimate antagonizers lately.

I'm a little curious though, why is it that you and your buddies completely ignore the actions of the Iranians, which could easily be construed as an act of war?

Let me make myself even more clear. I had read the entire thread when I began my post. A number of posts were made in the interim. I have also read many many other threads where many many other people are hot for a war in Iran. I see the same ideas on TV and everywhere. There are a terrifyingly large number of fools who are itching for a war with Iran. Before we start jumping up and down about how Iran has committed an act of war let us wait for some facts on the issue. I don't want to be the first person to blow you away if somebody were to point to you and say, girlie-boy here is wearing a bomb.

 
Iran is capturing P.O.W's for peaceful purposes only, its the same as with the nukes, same as when they send terrorist to Iraq to kill american troops, same as they send money & arms to hezbollah, its all for peaceful causes. I don't know why you ignorants blame this lovely country of being fanatic and dangerous.
Yes, they kill a few american troops every now and then, they state that they want to wipe out Israel, then they want to rule the arab world, and eventually they want to rule the whole world and make us all either dead or muslim (or both...), BUT then my friends, there will be PEACE.

So stop attacking Iran's peaceful agenda and get with the program.




Oh yeah, either that, or just get it over with those ****ing ***holes.

If those soldiers are harmed it is cause for war. We will soon see how this turns out, I for one believe Iran will have the common sense to let them go.

One does not risk a nuclear future by starting a conventional war early.

As everyone knows, WW1 was caused by the assination of one man. Was it worth it?

In a nuclear age, we need to find better ways to solve our disputes then threatening war every time somebody pisses us off.
 
Folks, more political theatre.......

Isn't Ahmandinejad coming to address the U.N. soon?

Fern
 
Lets see who has the biggest navy?

We could just blockade all Iranian water and put in some mines.

I say just blow something up in Iraq.

Are we wimps or what?

Iran gives guns and rockets to Hezbollah. OK

U.S > Iran in terrorism.

They were labeled as a terrorist state by the state department for supporting groups against Israel.

U.S removed Iraq from the list of states that support terrorist and supplied them with weapons. When Iraq had all their weapons the U.S added them back to the list.

I don't even know where to begin to describe the level of stupidity evident in your post.

Where was the British frigate these guys were from?

I'm curious to know that as well, there may have been US and/or Aussie ships in the area as well since we usually works as teams when doing these inspections, why would they let this happen?

They should have yelled, "Yaaawwrrg!!" hoisted the mainsails and gave 'em a broadside.

Edit - Nelson must be spinning in his grave.

Absolutely not.
U.S actions have been far worse than any of the nations they have labeled as sponsors of terrorism.

Exactly - are they fscking retarded? I bet this was the decision of some low ranking officer and not sanctioned by the higher powers. They should know that very best case scenario for the Iranians is several of their soldiers get shot by special forces in a rescue, and the worst case is a major international incident, sanctions, and even war against a far superior force.

The friendlies must have been on the Iranian ships already or I'm sure they would indeed have been blown out of the water.
 
Iran has the biggest navy in the Persian Gulf.

Destroyers and Frigates are meaningless in that area. They can be targeted easily from both land and sea.

The only Navy that can go up against the Iranian Navy in the Persian Gulf would be the U.S Navy. Launch all the aircraft on the carriers and take out the Iranian Navy by air.
Fighting the Iranian Navy by ship is dangerous.
