From the article, "Britain said two boatloads of sailors and marines from the naval frigate Cornwall". Wonder were the frigate was when the sailors were captured. Would think they would put up a fight of some kind.
The iranians had guns.KBear said:From the article, "Britain said two boatloads of sailors and marines from the naval frigate Cornwall". Wonder were the frigate was when the sailors were captured. Would think they would put up a fight of some kind.
<waits for Lancslad>
What an opportunity for NeuticlesLad to show that he really does have some balls!
Go, NeuticlesLad. Volunteer to save your beloved England.
(My money is on him staying home sucking his thumb and wetting his pants, while he hopes they don't come for him.)

Yeah, well, we all know of one Brit here who has been an "anal warrior" for quite some time. And yes, he has been taking it several ways.DonQuixote said:The Brits are a bit anal retentive but worthy warriors.
Humm. Anal warriors. That can be taken several ways.
Looks like thats how they do things.No balls at all.red said:the iranians haven't had such good odds since they took on those 300 spartans
Timing stinks...
I believe the Americans want Israel to take care of the whole Iranian situation but not just now.
This has screwed their timing up.
********************DonQuixote said:They boarded a wooden ship suspected
of gunrunning. The Iranian gunships then
boarded the suspect ship and took the
Brits into custody. The Iranians dispute
Iraqi sovereignty in those waters.
Time for the Brits to ramp up the
ordinance and deliver a decisive
blow to that bunch of power hungry
zealots.

The brits historically known as pirates
Historically the brits known to be pirates, piracy is in their blood and they always find an excuse to do just that (pirating). They stopped an vessil that carry cars and claimed that its cargo is smuggled. I can understand if the vessil is in the united kingom waters, but what the brits pirates laws have to do in the gulf regions thousands of miles away from doomed england, is that piracy or not. Its time the brits learn to leave other people and nations alone, i hope these pirates be beheaded soon in the court of law.

GThe danish news agency Ritzau reports that a senior Iranian commander claims that the british servicemen have confessed to being in Iranian waters, and that the boats' navigational equipment clearly shows that too.

Arrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh.
Those blasted pirates.
Are you saying the Brits were abducted by Americans and the Iranian are taking credit? The Brits say they were captured, the Iranians say they were captured. I don't know where your doubt resides.
What the *&%$#@! are you talking about. Maybe now there is ergot in the wheat for human consumption besides the rat poison on the wheat used in animal food.Earl1 said:Historically the brits known to be pirates, piracy is in their blood and they always find an excuse to do just that (pirating).

I rather doubt that both the R.N. and the Foreign Office would be so very adamant that the boarding party was in Iraqi territorial waters if they were not.danmand said:GThe danish news agency Ritzau reports that a senior Iranian commander claims that the british servicemen have confessed to being in Iranian waters, and that the boats' navigational equipment clearly shows that too.
