While we are searching for face saving solutions, I for one would like Tehran bombed for the constant threats we must endure.

Due to poor skippering by a captain of Her Majesty's fleet, our small flotilla made an inadvertent course correction that actually minimally entered Iran waters.

The queen apologizes for this to the people of Iran.

Anybody here that could comment as to the availability (to the right agencies) of sat pics of the area taken during the event?
That should be available, right?

And they would also like all the British citizens to grovel at their feet.

Britain should counter by demanding Iran release the hostages to stop the sheduled bombing runs.

Oh I don't know about that. Kafir will grovel at the drop of a hat, at least the smug Mullahs think so, and hordes of liberals live to prove it.
I hope they are in for a surprise.
They seem to like making others debase themselves, not a sign of good neighbors, plus once you start they want you to keep it up.
Maybe they need a boot on their necks.

Britain to Iran: Admit you were wrong to kidnap our sailors and your buildings will stand another day. Turn them over quickly to preserve the same.

(Pipe dream, I guess.)

The mullets are playing schoolyard games with this. They're making the West look like fools.

Is it just me or is this a replay of the '79 hostage incident?

I think this is how it will be resolved. The Iranians don't simply want individual sailors to "confess" (as the woman did today). Iran did this once before and got the Brits to grovel in the person of individual sailors. But to them, seeing people grovel is like an addiction: you always need more. The first time, it was enough for the sailors to grovel. Now they want GB to grovel.

This was a propaganda stunt from the beginning. Ahmadinejab knew he was going to lose the sanctions vote and wanted an out so he wouldn't have to go to the UN - but he also wanted something that would make it look as if this came from a position of strength rather than weakness. So he picked a successful strategy that Iran had used before, and simply upped the ante. No biggie.

They said they would release them by the end of the week.

Did anyone here actually believe that? They will milk this for all its worth. demand after demand will be made.
