Default 15 british sailors capured by Iran navy

The Iranian navy has seized up to 15 British sailors, the Ministry of Defence confirmed today, sparking a diplomatic standoff between the UK and Iran.
The Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel were taken after they had boarded a dhow during a routine patrol in the Shatt al-Arab waterway at 10.30am local time.


120 miles of tidal waterway
Formed by Tigris and Euphrates rivers
Subject to 1639 Persian-Ottoman treaty
Southern stretch forms border between Iraq and Iran
River is vital trade route for both countries
Control of river one of disputes causing Iran-Iraq war in 1980

I think this happened in 2004 also,

The British are more of a bunch or woooooses than our government.

The President of Iran is on his way to the UN building to speak to the Security council before they give new sanctions in Iran. Soooooo, The British shoud grab him and take him to the British embassy, (which is British territory) and then the negotiations could start for the release of the British sailors.

Default where is the anti-war pundits now that the brits are being tortured??

I see the President of Iran is holding off coming to the US since they illegally kidnapped those British troops. The Iranians say that under Interrogation the Brits have confessed to Doing everything the Iranians told them they did. Sounds like the Iranians studied Ho Chi Minh's boys in Hanoi

The reason that the pres of Iran didn't make it to the Un is because his security couldn't get a last min visa. He could come to the US but some of his security could not , so he decided not to come, GOOD MOVE.

So the Brits have confessed that don't mean nothin, Hell I would confess to liking Bob if captured.

The brits are still wooooses, and they have the backing of the United States and Nukes, What else do they want. Fight back Lime-y.
