Good point, Iran should be ready to have it's ass kicked then.

AngryManatee
If Iran seeks peaceful negotiations concerning them being allowed to produce nuclear products, then holding British soldiers captive will definitely be counterproductive.

Alpha Centauri
Like Doug Stanhope said, it's a bit presumptuous and arrogant to assume there are rules to war.

"You have to release our guys!". They are marines, the enemy in Iran's eyes. Britain wouldn't do the same.

Again, it's simple sense to me. You go to Iran, you risk having this happen to you. It'll never happen to me.

They weren't in Iran they were in Iraqi waters and were abducted by Iran who have changed the point at which they 'caught' them several times.

This was a real bad idea on Iran's part, when George want's an excuse to go to war, don't ever give him one.

That apostrophe does not belong in wants. George will just have to lump it, there's only a certain ammount wars you can have at once even if it is the 'almighty America'

The British Marines are bargaining chips during UN negotiations on new nuclear sanctions.

Oh don't worry... if the "almighty America" attacks Iran, the UK will follow with some measure of support. Even then, it wouldn't be a war America couldn't handle alone, most likely it would only be blasting their nuclear capabilities back 10 years.

Also, the UK could surprise us all and do something military against Iran if the sailors aren't returned. That's also a slim possibility.

Alliance
The soldiers should be released immediately unless Iran can prove that they tresspassed (which seems highly unlikely at this point).

Iran also needs to stop helping George Bush retain political power in the US by pulling stupid stunts like having the British soldiers say it is time to leave Iraq.

IMO, Iran is playing a dangerous game. Clearly its overall strategy is to provoke the West into military confrontation, thus inflaming the "War against Islam" to the next level.

Needless to say, he thinks the West will lose.

Like Hussein, Khadafy and others before them, Ahmadinejad fancies himself the savior of the Arab world.

Err, yes we WOULD release captured Iranians if we took them illegally on their own territory. You have simply lost all perspective if you think otherwise.

Simply another mistake from Iran, this.

Capt_Fantastic
Let's not forget that Iran wouldn't be in a position to capture any British soldiers if the British government weren't a member of the "coalition of the willing" and participating in a bogus military operation.

Ushgarak
Its bogus nature is very much an opinion but the UN has legitimised their presence there.

Besides which that's not even true; Iran has been in a position to do this kind of thing since the first Gulf War. US/UK naval personnel have never been far away.

Good post BTW... Also, Ahmadinejad wouldn't do anything without the Ayatollahs consent, they are hoping to gather the "Islam vs." support.

The only think Ahmadinejad is going to accomplish though is a bomb strike on his nuclear facilities.

Then I am sure you won't forget it. But the thrust of your post doesn't make much difference from any reasonable international viewpoint.

Regardless of your views on the situaiton this whole thing revolves around one thing alone- were the troops in Iranian waters?

Answer- no.

Hence, especially as this is so easily demonstrable, Iran loses.

Our opinions are the same in regards to the thread topic. I never said that my post was meant to address the specific situation, did I? But you saying that troops are stationed in the middle east is no more or less relevant. I might have been off topic, but that doesn't mean that Britains involvment isn't. And their involvment is indicative of support for bogus military operations.

Britain should give them 1 week to release the prisoners. If they dont..SAS goes in and takes them out killing anyone in the way.

its all reactionary politics...little does the media report that the Iranians sent representatives to kurdish areas of Iraq and the US arrested them and to this day still has them in detention for no apparent reason

ragesRemorse
this is nothing more than a disgusting display of power on Irans part. They know that the only people who would or want to do anything about this has their hands tied. Just like North Korea and their nuclear ventures, this is nothing more than a status building action.

Britian has not the Navy to do anything militarily nor would they if they could.
America is in the same boat as Britian. OUr Government cannot even get on the same page on how to fight the current war we are in no less take measures that would give Iran cause to initiate another. Someone needs to put Iran in their place. I gaurentee you they would not have kidnapped sailors of any other super power nation. especially America or Russia. I guess they wouldnt want to stir the waters with Russia anyway seeing how they get a nice hookup from them

Kinneary
Oh, okay. You're an idiot. Well, now that that's been established we can move on.

lil bitchiness
Wait, let me get this straight.

Its ok to throw people in Gautama Bay and Belmarsh Prison, by British government, on the suspicion of ''terrorism'', but when Iranians capture marines from people who consistantly potray themselves as ''enemies'' of Iran, are in ''coalition of the willing'', initially supporting the view that iran is in ''Axes of Evil'', they should be released immediately. Right.

Iran views West as enemies. This isn't very complicated.
Furthermore, Iranians didn't go around ''looking for soldiers to capture'' they claimed that British marines have strayed onto Iranian waters, adn thus were captred.
You cannot bang the war drum against Iran constantly, then when Iran responds - we demand immidiate release.

If Iranians were caught floating around America and Britain, they would have been captured under the suspicion of ''terrorism'', and probably expored to Guatama Bay or Belmarsh Prison, also under some kind of twisted Iranian nuclear conspiracy added into is as well.

If armed Iranian soliders started hanging around the Channel, then yes, we probably would intern them, though we'd probably release soon after. But if they were NOT in our waters, or waters under our jurisdiction, we wouldn't do anything.

I hate to re-state the point here, but they were not in Iranian waters.

So to your points, I will have two things to say:

1. Two wrongs don't make a right

2. Your examples don't correlate, at no point being done at a point where internationals would not recognise the legitimacy (the legitmacy questions at Guantanomo are about due process, not the legality of taking prisoners)

And if you want to say that the Americans have secrely and illegally kidnapped anyone... then fine, that is wrong too, but that is something they keep secret that would have to bre exposed.

This is very different, it is being done publically, pretending it is something legitimate and permissbale when it so obviously is not. That's why it is such a dumb move for the Iranians. They are already internationally isolated, now they are pissing even MORE people off. Not just the west. When Iran pulls stunts like this, it gets a "Stop being such bloody idiots" response from Pakistan and Turkey.

Uh, they're not at war and the Brits weren't in their terrority. Yes, they should be released immediately. We wouldn't grab Iranians in Iran's waters and take them prisoner.

so the Iranians are the good guys?

America and Britian has good cause to suspect Iranians and muslim extremists of terrorism. Iran has made thier views of the western civilization well known. I highly doubt The British sailors were doing anything that was suspicious. Spy technology allows countries to spy on each other from anywhere in the world.
I'm not saying the actions being taken in Guantanomo bay are righteous, but it is apart of war. What about the torture techniques the Sunnis and shiites inflict on American soldiers, muslim citizens etc. torture is found in the midst of every war. It's not right, just the way of things. I'm of mind that if it takes the torture of people to secure a way of life. It is an evil that must be executed.
I dont think many people trully understand how vulnerable the western way of life is. It would not take very much at all to end Democracy world wide.

also, the british had the oppertunity to send out a naval company, but diddnt.

why does everyone always give pity to the enemies? I remember in second grade. We had a project to make one thousand cranes in our class to send to a japanese organization that promotes awarness to the hardships that japanese prisoners of war and america japanese citizens under went during WWII.
Japanese and German prisoners of war were treated with the upmost repect and given more than American soldiers were on frontlines. Japanese tortured and killed American Pows regularly, and never took the geneva convetion under consideration

you make some very good points though bitchiness. however, we live in a different age where disputing countries are no longer able to live in piece, and everyone is for fault for this, not just the Western world.

At the essence of this situation (to me) appears to be a country that has kidnapped british citizens to make a statement, not to enforce their rights due to suspicion of wrong doings. Iran is engaged in a chess game with the WEstern world. They know the world is watching, and are waiting for mistakes to be made on the English and or American part to gain world sentiment.

snoochyboochies
I think that the sailors were in IRAQI waters and the Iranians who arrested them ****ed up. The Iran government don't wish to admit this and have lied through their teeth to convince the world otherwise and whatsmore have tried to take advantage of the situation, in order to flex their muscles.

I'm talking about torture resistance, not just keeping your mouth shut and only giving your name and rank when asked what you're mission was/is. Besides, even special forces like the SAS break under torture, it's the human thing to do. Judging them because they admitted to whatever the Iranians wanted them to admit to is foolish.

Fact is, the first transmission the Iranians gave placed the them in Iraqi waters; they then later changed it (repeatedly I believe) to place them in Iranian waters. I'll place my bets on the British being the ones telling the truth.

So, because Western politicans / journalists say that they were NOT in Iranian waters, it MUST be true.
Because Western politicans and journalists don't lie. Its just Iranians that lie.

Lets get ONE thing straight right now.

If Iranian ships were floating about anywhere NEAR British or American waters, the UK and US government would scream bloody murder, war sirens would go off, and everyone would go schizo : ''WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY AL-QAEDA!!''

Why is there this assumption that its Iranians who lied to deliberately take hostages. Why not that western politicans lie about the itnention of marines?

How do you know they were not in Iranian waters? What makes you so sure?

Since begining of the war, British servicemen, have crossed on Iranian side of Arvand river, in 2004.

What are the chances, that 3 years later, instead of 8, 15 British service men and woman get detained for almost exactly the same thing.

chithappens
Here's what matters: someone's lying; convenient ass timing.

I trust neither

Or maybe Iran was like "Yo homey, they crossed over before, and people know this, so let's like, go capture them when they didn't do anything wrong, and lie and say they were in our water, people will believe us because they did it before, and that obviously means they did it again, he did you get that new JayZ album? Shit is fly, get that gat, foo!"

Something like that.

Western culture is not by default. It is not universaly ''right'', which means that not everyone wants ''american democracy'', or western culture. Fact.

What makes Iranians more credible? Nothing.
But they are far more honest - they are pretty open about their intentions, about their prejudices and about their hate. Which is their downfall.


What they should learn from the west is to hide their true intentions and achieve their goals under the false pretence.

Iranian people are not stupid. They don't need Americans and British to tell them what their life is under allahatoyha's and mullahs. Iranians, just like Iraqi's should be left to revolt their governments and sort their own crap out - by themselves. Without anyone else ''peacekeeping'' and invading.

I agreed that the British could be lying, I just do not think so.

I think Iran is trying to show defiance and how strong their will is against America/UK. They'll let the captives go after a bunch of yelling and finger pointing, Russia will probably be called in to mediate.

Russia has a great dislike for America and its dominance in Middle East (Russia just has a great dislike for America full stop, really), and Russia has quite a lot of financial ties to Iran.

It will not be in British or American favour.

Iran should have been left to its own business to sort its own crap. There are bigger problems in Iran than America, just like there are bigger problems in America than Iran.

That's why Russia will step in, if they don't and Iran keeps barking, England & America will beat Iran like a snapping dog and Russia can't afford to have it's dog beaten.

Don't be obtuse, folks. The British can prove they were not in Iranian waters via satellite imagery. That kind of thing is open to independant verification. It's not just the British 'saying' it. it is proof. Furthermore, the Indian vessel they were boarding can back this up.

Just to show how farcial they are, the Iranians issued their own set of conflicting co-ordinates where they said it actually happened. Rather classily, their co-ordinates... were also not in Iranian waters. When the British pointed this out, the Iranians kinda went "Ummm..." and presented a SECOND set, this time within. Yeah, right guys.

As ever, contemptuously stupid behaviour from Iran. And to be honest, it is fairly contemptible to simply doubt the British Government's word by default and blame a credible populace.

I think the British Government did the right thing by going to the UN with this issue. The question is...why hasn't Iran taken this with the UN in the first place if they feel a wrong is been done to them?

Because the UN has sided against them in the nuclear dispute.

But they are far more honest - they are pretty open about their intentions, about their prejudices and about their hate. Which is their downfall.


What they should learn from the west is to hide their true intentions and achieve their goals under the false pretence.

Iranian people are not stupid. They don't need Americans and British to tell them what their life is under allahatoyha's and mullahs. Iranians, just like Iraqi's should be left to revolt their governments and sort their own crap out - by themselves. Without anyone else ''peacekeeping'' and invading.

Of course democracy is not right by default. I'm just a little confused why people of western influenced democracy are always so quick to defend a nation that wants nothing more than to see it fall.

I highly doubt that you and i as internet civilians have any idea of what Irans intentions are in any realm. Let alone our own Governments. I wouldnt trust my Government with my life, but i do believe that they wish to keep democracy thriving for that is their outlet of power. To me there is no better way of life than a free republic, because that give my little voice atleast some kind illusion of having relevance.

If you're going to continually rant on and on about "Global Domination", "Babylonian Brotherhood", "Global Elite", "Lizardmen Overlords" and the like; at least be able to provide some reasonable evidence besides passages from David Icke's book(s).

Like they evidence of Iraqis making Weaposn of Mass Distructions?

Bla bla bla they were not in the waters of Iran, and Iranians captured them illegaly.
America and nato illegaly bombed Iraq, Afghanistan and Serbia all in the last 10 years, terrorised and murdered hundreds of thousands of people of these countries, directly violated UN charter over and over and over again.

Iran should not give into demands of terrorists.

Well, for a start, no, NOT like that evidence, because it is certain and verifiable independantly and absolutely unreasonable to not belive it simply because of yuor beef with western governments.

Secondly, you say 'illegally' but that's your opinion. By the world body that adjudicates such things it was not illegal at all.

Unlike this seizure, which absolutely was; for someone who parrots vague stuff about violating UN rules, I'll remind you that the British were enforcing UN sanctions when seized.

And as bardock says, Iran would be idiots to not release.

''Iran's nuclear ambitions are merely a pretext. The real object is to degrade both the US and Iran so citizens will forfeit political, economic and spiritual rights to Illuminati banker "world government."

As you know, in 1871 Albert Pike, the Grand Commander of US Freemasonry wrote a letter to Giuseppe Mazzini, his European counterpart, foretelling three world wars. He was correct about the first two.'' :

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other."

you see, predicting the future is easy when you know the agenda

*CONCLUSION*

If the Illuminati have so much power, why don't they just proclaim their world dictatorship now? It's /the process/, which is both necessary and incredibly profitable. Humanity must be gradually transformed so it sees slavery as freedom and embraces the NWO shibboleths, world government, diversity, the anti Christ etc.

War is the Illuminati's cement mixer. They just throw in nations, women, children, cultures, religions; break and mix and then reset in their own mold. They call it "creating order out of chaos" but first they create chaos.

They envisage a Middle East including Israel as conformist and vapid as the EU today. Middle East- EU union is already on the drawing board. Wars also kill a lot of innocent people as well as pesky idealists.

http://www.euromedi.org/inglese/home/partenariato/delegazioni/ index.asp]

The greatest barrier to understanding world events is our failure to imagine the dimensions of evil, and how readily most people will serve Satan.

If we have a war against Iran, it will be instigated by an international satanic cult, to further degrade destroy and demoralize humanity, especially in Iran and the US.

1) The Pike-Mazinni letter is a myth; no concrete proof exist that Pike ever wrote it or predicted anything.

I love how the guy you you're quoting says "If", what if it doesn't happen; then I guess his theories were just crap? Talk about "safety blanket", you'd think someone so 'in-the-know' would know for certain.

The U.S. has almost been at war with Iran since the late 70's; beginning when the Shah was overthrown, then the Iran hostage crisis, the Iraq/Iran war etc. This has been a long time coming, though I doubt full out war will break due to this hostage taking.

That's some of the most ignorant shit... It's people not the religion. Don't just box Muslims like that. Nations of the West, who mostly claim Christianity, are easily the cause for most violence of this era. Dare to me to cite examples. Do it!

I do think it a publicity stunt, as I think Iran knew from the start that it would be releasing the Brits after some posturing and chest beating.

Not sure if Iran came out looking "better" though, as the question to whether the sailors where in Iranian waters (or not) can be verified via impartial third parties.

Does that really matter?

At this moment in time we have two party's both without any real credibility claiming they are right and the other party is lying.

Iran showed it's power by taking British sailors and getting away with it and then their mercy by just releasing them.

Their people will see a powerful leader with respect for other people who does not want war, even though many will claim he does. The other nations will see an Iran that in a border dispute choice the wisest and smartest option while Britain refused to even acknowledge the possibility it was wrong.

That's what the people will see and if in a few days the news will report on how the British were indeed in Iraqi waters (which by the way won't happen because the water borders between Iran and Iraq aren't really what you would call clear) all the people will remember is that Iran released them anyways...

That's going to be the outcome that's what people will remember in a few years.

I don't know if Iran made a deal with England or not but even if they didn't they played a smart game here.

Although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the United States stops attacking the Iranian embassy in Iraq or withdraws it forces from the Iraq Iran border in a few days/weeks

Yes, it does indeed matter... If England wanted to pursue it further they could call in a third party to verify who's intel was wrong. Considering Britain wasn't lying, they would make Iran to be lying fools.

I doubt that will ever happen though, England has it's people; it's happy. Iran got to posture and beat it's chest; it's happy too.
