The British can just sink every ship leaving Iran and put up a blockade. The Iranians are just begging to be bombed.

The worst part about Iran is it is hard to tell who is in charge?

Prove it.
Exactly.

So what exactly happens to the Isreali people in Ahmadinejad 's "historic War of Destiny"???

and this part doesn't sound too promising for the the Isreali's either...

"His comments were the first time in years that such a high-ranking Iranian official has called for Israel's eradication, even though such slogans are still regularly used at government rallies."

what about this one??

"Addressing about 4000 students gathered in an Interior Ministry conference hall, Ahmadinejad also called for Palestinian unity, resistance and a point "where the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come". "

man Iran is so stupid, this is really not the time for them to be so provocative. If they push it too much than someone (Isreal, USA, or Britian) is gonna blow up all their precious nuclear facilities before than can actually produce any nuclear weapons. Iran has so much national pride invested in its nuclear program that it would be a shame (for them :D) if it were all blown up. And honestly it wouldn't even be remotely hard for someone to blow their sh|t up, so they should at least wait till they have enough nuclear material for a few bombs before they go starting sh|t (or maybe they already do? :confused: ).

I hope Iran is not stupid enough to execute these British sailors.

For one thing, we don't have to worry about Iran provoking Bush into doing something stupid...the British are very protective of their soldiers, and the British military is quite capable of responding to any provocation on the part of Iran.

That, and I wonder what the response will be across western Europe.

Did you see Rosie O'Donnell imply on the View this morning that this incidence is intentional, to bolster support for war with Iran? What an ignorant, fat lesbian. If I was a lesbian, would not want her speaking for me.

No I don't watch TV programs targeted towards Yentas. Why would anyone with testestorone flowing through their viens watch that? It's like someone with common sense watching Hannity and Colmes or the O'Riely Factor

I agree...

Lets bomb the ****** out of them. That would only take a few billion and a 1,000 or so pilots.

No cleanup, no rebuilding, no aid afterwards would really cut down on the bill we foot for Iran.

Maybe, but you would want her moving your lips.

Two US carrier battle groups were moved into the Persian Gulf today. I've heard it on the radio tonight but, strangely I can't find the story anywhere in print. :shocked:

I do feel allegiance to Britain... this is BS .. I don't want war but I really want Iran ot pay hard for this .. this is total BS.. I am losing my sanity thinking about the insanity of Iran and their religious fvcking wahckjob rulers.. This was supposedly coordinated by their Elite Republican guard who answer to the Mullahs.. not the president.

Pretty dumb by Iran. Overall the British people aren't too happy about having some of their military in the Middle East. However if Iran execute these 15 marines, then the British will really do a 180. The Royal Navy and its marines are nothing to sneeze at. They spanked Argentina easily enough 20 years back. I'm sure the Iranian airforce would be a tougher nut than the Iraqi one, but I seriously doubt they will be any match against a US and UK air assault.

Dumb move, but thats nothing new in that part of the world...

Its a Shame that The US doesnt have the moral authority to dictate to Iran that these troops should not be tortured and use established international treaties to force the Issue.

pussy statement. International treaties are for Nations not Terror groups and non-combatants.

Niaeve to think peeps not gonna get tortured during times of war. If torturing 100 terrorists save 1 American Life. I'm 100% ok with that. Feeding them 3 squares a day and giving them better medical treatment than I recieve is not what I think most gitmo terrorist chaps deserve. For the a$$holes (pun intended) at Al Gahrib prison they were lucky to be there as American prisoners cause during the Saddam years few ever walked out of that Hell on Earth.

Our authority is simple. Tell Iran to hand them over or die.
