seriesly you simply cannot make this up...this is hugh !
Do you think this is very serious Mr. Blair ? Seriously ?
Demand their return immediately, give the Persians 48 hours to comply and if they do not comply, declare war.

If Blair was one of the 15, he would certainly think it was a lot more than just serious.

Taking prisoners of a nation's uniformed military
Is a clear act of war
To: malamute
Well, at least it isn't extremely serious...

Saw a comment from about 1775 where the residents of Sicily were extremely annoyed with the French for giving in to the Barbaries.

Sir Winston Churchill:
"You have chosen dishonor over war. You shall have both."
Mr. Blair?
Contemplate the wise words of Sir Winston before you even THINK of appeasing those Islamofascists in Tehran.
WWWD?
WWMD?

Allowing for British understatement, I'd guess that carriers are being deployed.
To: malamute
Yes Mr. Blair- It is an act of war. I hope you will do something about it. If you do I am sure the United States will be behind you!
