I said it over in the thread on ubrf, and I’ll say it here.

Send a cruise missile to one of their important industrial complexes. Let them know that for each additional hour the soldiers are held captive another missile will be coming their way.

No way you’re going to ever get anywhere with political negotiations with a nut job like Ahmadinejad.

Maybe, but not likely. Iran know full well the British have our full backing. US + British \> Iran x a billion. Executing 15 innocent sailors would cause an overwhelming retalitory strike.

We might be low on ground troups, but we have more than enough planes, bombs and carrier groups between us to bomb that country into nothingness and Iran knows it.

Right now Iran is trying to make a big deal over this to distract people from their nuclear program, and it’s working. You don’t hear anything about the nuclear program now, just these British captives.

Sailors released, Iran calls it an “easter gift”, Blair says he harbors no ill will.

Ummmm… no. From your own article :

> However, Alex Pinfield, first secretary of the British Embassy in Tehran, said _it’s not clear when they will be handed over_ or where they are going to spend the night. He indicated the British “are still discussing the Iranian case with the Iranian foreign ministry.”

No proof no care. SAS rescue mission in T- 14 days. 😃
