As freeper "GoldenPup" posted elsewhere....
"New't recent plan has some merit; (1)Back-channel to Iran to release hostages in "X" time or your one and only refinery will be destroyed and then, (2) A Navel blockade of Iran."
They should do that anyway. Giving the hostages back doesn't make this outrage Okay.
"(1)Back-channel to Iran to release hostages in "X" time or your one and only refinery will be destroyed and then.."
I don't like the back-channel aspect.
After all Iran is attempting to embarrass the UK in the eyes of the world, why should they be given a chance to save face?
I though that was the purpose of the burqahs? :-) Sorry, couldn't resist, even in the midst of the this tense situation.
