Default British Sailors Surrendered?

It's crazy. You would think a boat load of Brits could fend off a boat
load of Iran sailors.
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.

You are right ,Joe. This has happened before and it is high time we sorted
them out.
I spent some time in Iran (oilfields) before the religious nutters took
control and it was a quite nice country and the people were very friendly to
me when I spent a whole night in a railway compartment with them going from
south Iran to Teheran.
Some years later I spent a lot of time trying to set up a factory to make
our products in their country. Spoke at length with government officials,
lawyers, you name it, and got quite a long way towards success but it all
came to nothing when the French sent back to Iran the awful Ayotollah
Khomeini whom they had been looking after for years. Been downhill all the
way since then.
Don't blame the people of the country-only the ones who have siezed power.
