Actually, the soldiers were well within Iraqi waters. The British and American Navies confirm this fact. Iran broke into Iraqi waters and kidnapped the 15 British soldiers. After this, they were bribed into saying they were in Iranian waters. Evidence of this is the fact that they are being treated well, shown on TV and other things. It is not a western strategy, Iran is trying to say that they can do anything they want and the west won't do anything.

It's not so amazing. Almost the Gulf of Tonkin again.
In August of 1964, United States President Lyndon B. Johnson claimed that North Vietnamese forces had twice attacked American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. Although there was a first attack (in response to U.S. equipped and orchestrated South Vietnam's commando raids on the coast [1]), claims of a second attack were later proven to be unfounded. Known today as the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, this led to the open involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War, with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
He's been discrediting Iran for a while, playing wargames in the gulf, this is exactly what Saddam did before the invasion:
Iran is planning to stop using the US dollar to price oil with less than half of its oil income now paid in the US currency, Iran's Central Bank Governor said.
I hate this-but here we go.

I think Bush would love a chance to go into Iran, but I don't think Tony Blair is in league with him. I think this was just an unfortunate incident that no one planned.
I think Tony Blair was suckered in by Bush and is now regretting that he ever had anything to do with Bush. His involvement with Bush has cost him his political career and his place in history.
I consider Dick Cheney the source of all evil, but even I have to admit that bad things do happen on their own at times.

WHAT war with Iran?
I must agree it would be a good idea, but this time DO IT RIGHT.
First, get Congress to declare war. (That will be the day!)
Second, KICK BUTT and don't stop until THEY beg for an end to the hostilities.
Never be the one to initiate a diplomatic settlement while the war is in progress. That would be taken as a sign of weakness and just encourage them.
Then build up those who posses honest hearts, just like we did in Japan after WW-II.

Just in case you are, I appologise for making you look stupid when you're actually retarded.
Did you bother to check the British GPS? They were in Iraqi waters not Iranian waters. This is just another lie by the Iranians and their #1 buddies the liberals in the US.

So you're saying that the U.S. somehow convinced the U.K. to send sailors into Iran for the sole purpose of being captured when they could have sent their own? Then you state that Iran was in fact tricked into holding these sailors despite the U.K.'s demands for their release? Doesn't this seem a bit far fetched to you?

No. Bush is keeping well out of this, and there's no chance of Britain going to war with Iran. If Blair tries, he'll be out of number 10 in a second.

You, a liberal and Bush hater I'm assuming, are now claiming that Bush is, let me quote here, is "ingenious" and a "strategical genius?" So, he's the dumbest thing to walk on two legs, but he's also a genius? Do you people listen to yourselves talk?
