As you can see, the wankers have no stomache for a war
and it's about time to go home with their tails tucked in.
Just in case a stray foot kicked their nuts. This is a blatant
Act of war and totally unacceptable but I suppose Tony is
going to talk his way out and make the whole situation like
it was an invitation to a dinner party.

welp... this is what will happen:
UK will request immeadiate turn over of their troops, and if they do not get returned within a few days there will be threats made and if the Iranian government still doesn't return them UK troops, expect an invasion from UK, and US. The United States has been waiting patiently for the opporitunity to invade Iran and stop their nuclear program, and this is their golden ticket, hell this could even turn into WWIII. If the UK and US invade Iran, expect Austrailia to back them up, along with France and possibly Isreal. If Iran is being invaded North Korea will help them out, and if Isreal joins in the fight expect Palestine, and Lebanon to join in. This will definately cause a World War III if it explodes this big... so I advise Iran to return them troops or there will be millions of casulties, and possibly Nuclear Warfare if WWIII does start. If this happens I advise all of you's kiss your as ses good bye cuz say hello to Nuclear Winter and this will cause the end of life on earth.

This reminds me of what the Serbs did to the Danes before Srbenicia. Iran is going to continue to play this game until we play back. Right now its being used to make their population feel as if the western powers are afraid of them, and its only a matter of time before it escalates into public executions. I think what happens now is Iran gives up the 15 men within the next 72 hours, after their on local tv saying how great of a country Iran is, and then they will be released. Iran keeps playing with fire, and eventually they are going to get burned.

This is all about Internal politics right now. Iran is trying to convince their own people that they are being picked. The British did nothing out of the ordinary by searching that vessel. See quote below
Regarding territory and the British search of vessels:
"It's been in dispute for some time," Aandahl said. "We've been operating there for a couple of years and we know the lines very well. This was a compliant boarding, this happens routinely. WHAT'S OUT OF THE ORDINARY IS THE IRANIAN RESPONSE."
This sort of thing happened once before and once the prisoners "confessed" on Iranian television to having entered Iranian waters illeagally they were released.
This might be a repeat in an effort to convince the Iranian people that Iran is being "picked on."

Wow... We can even ignore actual acts of war and somehow , somebody will even figure out how to blame Bush for this too... I'll bet if your child were one of the 15 you'd be screaming do something. But as armchair generals people will sit back and eventually say something stupid, like "They deserved it".
I don't think we should jump in and start tossing nuclear weapons in the direction of Iran (yet), but I'd use it as leverage in the U.N. to demand even more tightening sanctions on Iran.
Whatever the case, I think the U.S. Should back whatever approach the British want to assume... They have always been there for us.

Well actually we can't call it a kidnap.It's still not sure if those soldiers were in Iraqi or in Iran's territorial waters ...So there is still a little problem...
But of course this could be the perfect excuse that US was looking for to attack Iran...Although I doubt it is going to happen...

Well Tyrone, it appears that Iran is just egging for a fight. As the old saying goes : "Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves ".
You are much too cynical about US and Great Britain's intentions. I believe both country's along with western Europe, the UN, and Israel too, have shown great restaint in dealing with Iran.
This time, Iran may have bitten off more than it can chew !

It's time to sort out Iran, or here we go on the path of letting them get away with that little bit more all the time.
My suggestion is to take their leadership out and all the Mullahs. then give the population of Iran a choice.

I doubt it seeing as the last time they kidnapped and tortured our soldiers that didn't happen now did it. Iran would be ignorant to start crap with us now. Their capabilities aren't up to par and we are still in Iraq to control Iran from invading. If we just went on over there we could atleast leave Iraq, huh?
