Thousands of years of haggling over oases have gone into the genetics of these guys. They just can't GIVE something away. They must BARGAIN first.

Its a good thing they didn't have hoods placed over their heads, that kind of thing is waaaaay outta line. Blindfolds are ok though. We should also be thankful that they weren't displayed on TV, we all know that is totally uncalled for and may invoke "outrage" on the "British Street".

I think we should go out and kidnap an Iranian and behead him, then post the pictures on the internet in order to compensate for this slap in the face of British honor.

Charles the Chosen Dhimmi and his less-than-trustworthy terrorist ally from the Islamic Republic.

I thought they were already released and they just kept the boats?

[Aeronaut]

Iranian television meanwhile showed new footage of them being marched around in circles under the hot sun on the banks of the Shatt al-Arab, the strategic waterway that demarcates the southernmost border between Iran and Iraq. They were blindfolded with grubby white rags.

Thank goodness they didn't have to wear panties on their heads. </sarcasm>

Seriously, I hope something real comes of this, like maybe a field test of the MOAB.

[camas]

are they letting the boats go also

..... and 444 days from now, Ted Koppel will begin his program "Britain Held Hostage" with the line "Iran Postpones Talks on British Sailors......."

That does it. I'm tossing my National Defense ribbon into the creek.

How about positioning a carrier task force off the Iranian coast near their major oil terminals. I think that might end any more foot dragging.

[Mr. Lucky]

This is exactly why both Britain and the United States should not have deactivated their battleships.

Is there any reason why we do not randomly bomb Iranian government buildings at least weekly?
