Iran Takes 15 British Soldiers At Gunpoint

[Strat God]

Yup.
In Iraqi waters, Iranian Navy has taken English naval hostages at gunpoint.

This could get REAL UGLY.

Britians going to have to rape the Iranian Navy a new one. That's common knowledge, don't fuck with the brits and their boats.

Retribution for us nabbing some of the Iranian diplomats in Iraq and the possible defection (unclear) of that top-ranking Revolutionary Guard dude. Sabre-rattling back and forth. Hopefully, it doesn't get worse.

That's just great. I know I am being selfish but now I know I will be awake at 1AM to listen to the BBC.

[FusionFarmer]

this is a fan, and this is a pile of shit.....

[fett]

No kidding. I strongly recommend that you find a local NPR station that does the BBC. Mine just happens to pop up at 1AM.

[Tashtego]

Why do you guys think anything will happen? This isn't the first time they have done this.

[fett]

It kinda takes the emphasis away from Iran's nuke problem.

[charvelguy]

I wonder if Blair will have to write a letter saying "I'm really very sorry"

[fett]

Iran is just having a little fun. No one is going to die. It's more like; "Look at me!!!!! See what I can do if I want to." Stick out tongue at this point.

[FusionFarmer]

I am afraid they, (Our fearless leaders) will use this as an opportunity to justify, what ever agenda they have in mind for Iran, hopefully not

[fett]

Ah, what's another trillion bucks.

[sandbag]

i wonder if bruce dickinson will fly in and pick em up

I have just finished the whole 12 book "Left Behind" series. It's all about Revelations. I know how this all going to "End" and you guys won't like it. The Middle East is biblical, man. You had better get straight with the Man or your are toast.

This kind of s**t does make tempers flare, though. When sabres rattle, sometimes people get cut. If blood is drawn - intentionally or by accident - things could escalate quickly.
