Just saw in 7:00-7:30 segment of GMA.

Iranian navy siezed about a dozen UK sailors. Sailors were conducting routine shipping embargo inspection in northern end of Persian Gulf.

Sailors have been taken back to Iran

Can't find it anywhere else.

Here we go again. Iran must have a real hard on for British sailors or something.

This is an act of war against the UK. Time for the US/UK to bomb these bastards to hell.

Au contraire - What we need is Maggie's nads:

Unless the British subjects are returned no later than 00:00 GMT on March 24, Her Majesty's Government informs the State of Persia that a State of War will exist....

" This is an act of war against the UK "

This, if confirmed, would be an act of war against a NATO ALLY --

All of Europe would be required to respond...

/NOT!!

Good one. Maybe they'll respond by taking up a collection to pay ransom. ;-) Ain't the 21st Century great?

It's getting real close to the time to finish the job the Greeks started at Marathon and solve the Persian problem once for all.... Since they don't believe in the Holocause, we can give them their own endliches entloesung.

NATO or the EU for that matter would not lift a finger to help the UK. Only the US would help the UK. We are brothers in arms and our peoples share a long history,NATO and the EU are freeloaders and fair weather allies.

" NATO - you do have a point there "

Shoulda put a /sarc tag on my post...

NATO's response will be something akin to "You want us to go to war?? Wellll... Ummmm.... We have to shampoo our carpets that day..."
