First, it's sad some people here, the first thing they think of is how it's "neocons looking for war", when in fact they were targeted specifically. The logic that Bush, Cheney, the evil Zionists or whoever are being put down with something like this happening, pre-meditated targeting of capturing British forces you don't even focus on Iran? It's amazing to me. Secondly they went on two small craft and according to the following article, after inspection they were quickly surrounded by 6 vessels. Even Chuck Norris would have a tough time. They were lead by gunpoint into Iranian waters and then wherever else. As well Iran is now officially claiming that they were in Iranian waters: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1560788.ece True though they captured British sailors (or soldiers?) were captured in 04 and I can't imagine Iran is too happy when the British have repeatedly accused, directly, Iran of supplying Insurgents in the South.
What about Chuck Norris with Steven Segal, Arnie or Sly Stallone? They would wipe the whole of Iran out. And still have ammo left at the end of the mission.
Who's side are you on? Liberal scum? What's wrong with wanting stuff we don't have? How will we ever get more if not....Not to mention we should just look over the fact that These people took our AMERICAN SOILDERS!!!!! These are not Toy Soilders these are Men and Women of the armed forces I would spit on you if you were ins pitting distance. How dare you downplay the fact that they have some of our people.
What are you talking about? I am talking about the USA administration illegally invading countrys to steal there oil. And I'm no liberal either mate.
You are clearly liberal my friend. CLEARLY. LOL Invading other countries to steal there oil? That's all we did back in the day was invade other countries. Or Rebel to start a new country..( hmm..I think the most powerful nation IN THE WORLD (us?) did this..). They start shit start taking our military men we start taking there oil sounds like they should be giving us more then just oil though.
Firstly I'm English buddy. Not everyone here is from the USA. And I think you are crazy because a lot of your comments make no sense, go back to watching Rambo 3 or summats mate.
If you don't live in the country don't comment. We know other countries hate us. Because our Budget kills them every year . The fact we are number 1 this is why people hate us because they are not you should of cleared this up earlier. you euro
Propaganda!!! - my friend, propaganda. There are millions of people worldwide that will be impressed by irans action without looking further into the cause. Remember 1400 years of jihad developed some tactics we were not aware of before. Jihad doesn't only mean terror, the fine tuned jihad is very sophisticated and hardly considered by the West.
Folks, set the politics aside for a moment. Anyone who thinks that this is a set-up to open the door for a U.S. invasion of Iraq has obviously never served in the military. Those of us who are military veterans are well aware of the need for a nation's military to be able to fight wars on two fronts simultaneously. A well-prepared military can do that. The USA is already stretched to the max on two fronts — Afghanistan and Iraq. You would be hard pressed to find any high-ranking leader in America's military who would want to add Iran at this time as a third battle front. President Bush is a military veteran and former fighter pilot. He is quite well aware of this ages-old military wisdom. Forget about an invasion of Iran while we are still actively fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I agree with most of your points Jim but this one had me laughing very long and very hard. "President Bush is a military veteran and former fighter pilot." He's a draft dodging, cocaine snorting cunt mate. A complete failure as a President. Everything he touches turns to shit. You are certainly right about Iran, the last thing we need is Bush meddling with Iran. But he will 100% for sure, before his sorry ass disasterous tenure finishes at the end of 2008. God help us all mate with people like this in charge.
Hahaha... yet another post by AGS blaming George W. Bush for an attack: by Iranians in Iraq on the British I'd love to see AGS take a Rorscach test.
Talking is always the best way to sort out situations like this. Of course you are a hawk and will rally for your hero Bush on this one. Whether the dumbass marines strayed over into Iranian waters or not let us hope that this will all be sorted out amicably and we can all breathe a huge collective sigh of relief. Remember too Will that had it not been for the illegal invasion of Iraq instigated by your terrorist hero Bush these poor fuckers would not have even been there in the first place.
Yea and you really need to stop bashing our president. Because you are a rat. A person who complains for no good reason at all (no offense on the rat comment will). And really we don't care what you think. Because WE HATE LIBERAL SCUM!
Stealer i would like to be educated on mohammad mossadegh, fidel and fidel castro. You see i am neither liberal or conservative. Im a moderate which i always keep saying helps me to see clearly enough to focus on the truth. Our soldiers shouldnt even be placed in that position(saddam and al quaida hated each other and had 2 different ideologies) and like i keep saying before saddam was the only person holding that country together. Granted he wasnt too good of a person(thats not arguable as i have met people that served in his army and most regular iraqi soldiers didnt like him much but understood that he held the country together). Mossadegh was time magazines man of the year in 1951 but was taken out by british and american intelligence because of oil. Castro was brought into power by our government and was helping in overthrowing batista. Like i said before i dont like the current leadership in iran at all but everyone knows my views on that. If we didnt meddle in the affairs of iran for complete control of their oil mossadegh would have stayed in power and it would have been a much kinder gentler iran today. The iranian student movement would have flourished and there would have been freedom and democracy in iran. Most of the iranian student(who are very brite and progressive) was freedom in iran right now but dont have the power to effect that change. Stealer , no matter what, look at history. In humanity whoever is teh strongest will rule and always use force and deception to keep others from taking control because if those others do take control they will resort to the same tactics to hold on to that power that human beings have been doing since the first club fight between cavemen tribes. Like i said before the nano technology revolution will change everything because material posessions and poverty will be virtually wiped out.
Why do liberals always deny being liberals? Why can't liberals ever tell the truth? If you say "I would like to be educated" -- you're a liberal. A conservative would just shut the fuck up and go educate himself. Asking someone else to do it for them is a sure sign of a liberal.
We'll be back after the brake with more news. Enjoy Sheik Yer'Mami http://sheikyermami.com/2006/12/19/the-shoe-bomber/ http://sheikyermami.com/2006/12/19/harry-the-taliban/ http://sheikyermami.com/2006/12/20/abu-hamza/
AGS, I would have expected better of a Brit (my ancestry) than to have to resort to nonstop cussing to make his points. It just belittles you, not the intended object(s) of your tiresome scorn. And yes, Mr. Bush is a military veteran, and he is a former fighter pilot. Cuss and scorn all you want, you're not going to change that. I think you're confusing our current president with our previous "draft-dodging" one.
I've been lurking on these forums for a while and I finally registered to tell you that you make me ashamed to be British, nay human. Our boys are captured and you twist it to justify some sick hatred you have of Americans. You sir are a pathetic soul.
