Default British Sailors Surrendered?

Seems the America's are required not to be captured.

Strange too, they have the whole episode on radar and sat and know
they were not in Iran waters, but the Iranian's say they confessed to
being in Iraq waters. Rubber hose confessions I bet.

Blair needs to pop off 15 cruise missles now, and then give them
about one hour to release the crew or send in another 15 missles.

Problem is that GB's only allies, aside from former British colonies
like Canada and OZ, is us...so once again there would be no world
backing for anything like that...the prevailing sentiment from the rest
of the world is "Why were you there to begin with?" so there won't be
any help that way..and the UN is a joke so you know there won't be any
help there. It would be nice, though, if GB would lob something at
someone as an initial action so they could take the heat instead of us
for a change.
