As predicted...

The Iranians play hardball. Prediction: Bush will crack.

The Iranians are good at this. Very, very good.

Get the brit sailors back, then proceed with Regime Change: Iran.

A senior Iraqi foreign ministry official said on Tuesday that the government was "intensively" seeking release of five Iranians detained by the U.S. military more than two months ago in northern Iraq.

These Iranians did the same as what they are claiming the Brits did. If the Iranians don't have to release the Brits, then we certainly do not have to release these Iranians.

They should put the Iranians in a small room with a big clock on the wall counting down. A big digital clock that sounds like the clock on “24”. Very loud. When the clock hits 00:00:00 then they should release pigs in the room. Video tape it all, put it on youtube. Or, just shoot them as spies then let the pigs eat them.

...leftists are so predictable...

Exactly - hostages for a negotiating tool. They illegally captured and are holding British sailors as hostages to bargain for the release of captured terrorists...

If we capitulate, we might as well pack all of our troops up and bring them home - as it would be just the start of a pattern.

[Inge C]

One can only hope that Pres. Bush does not fall for this trap, I do not believe that they will release these Brits even if given the iranians.
