Anyone who thinks Iran didn't come out the big winner here wasn't paying attention. They faced down the Brits, the Eu and the UN. The Brits were clearly impotent to do anything, and the EU and UN were not willing to impose sanctions on Iran over 15 British and EU citizens being kidnapped and threatened. It was iran's way of testing the west's resolve for the nuclear faceoff that is coming. If we aren't prepared to even impose sanctions when citizens are kidnapped, who believes we will over a disputed, hidden nuclear program? Certainly not the iranians, particularly when that idiot Nancy Pelosi is sipping tea in syria and telling them to just cool it for a while and the democrats will soon be in the White House and prepared to surrender anything they want.

The EU and UN are chicken shit.
I'd like to see what would happen if Iran had the balls to try and
take 15 American sailors. Especially while Bush is still President.
I don't think Iran has the balls. That is why they took British sailors.
Or maybe they are too dumb to tell the difference.
Gawd help the US if the people are stupid enough to vote in a
Democratic President. All we need is another Jimmy Carter in office.
Or maybe they are smart enough to understand who they can easily humiliate (the Brits/EU) and who would have undoubtedly humiliated them (the US or Israel). They attacked who they could, not who they wanted to.Quote from version77:

A democratic president does not have to be another Jimmy Carter. God help the US if our next president is another Reagan who cut and ran from Lebanon or Bush Senior who did not finish Saddam or GWB who fucked up absolutely everything, destroyed the balance of power in the ME and failed to do anything at all about Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs. The point of course is, both parties have worse-than-spotty records.Quote from version77:

(To be honest I am truly surprised they did not convert to Islam!)
Should we be so astonished? The brits after all are closely related genetically to the Camembert-Eating Surrender Monkeys as opposed to the Fetta-Cheese Eating Axis-of Evil Monkeys.

the arseholes sold their story [mainly propaganda] to the press. the public, and especially military personnel in general were so outraged that mod had to ban them from talking again. fucking pathetic blair tried to make iran look like shit using the navy folks as instruments to either save his face or for warmongering reasons.

Goody Bagful Of Dishonor
IT WAS a fitting image of the 14 wimps and a sob sister arriving back in the United Kingdom yesterday: skulking away with pink goody bags in hand.
The color was no accident - although yellow would've been more appropriate.
The released hostages weren't allowed to make any more statements. Apparently, the Blair government feared they'd repeat their lavish praise of their Iranian captors.
Look, we're all glad they're home safe, if not necessarily sound. But why on earth is Britain, the land of the legendary stiff upper lip, celebrating cowards who clambered over one another to shame their country?
...
Tehran won this match. Hands down. Contrary to the "wisdom" of Western pundits, the hostage catch-and-release strengthened the hard-liners' position and image, both within Iran and throughout the region. Ahmadinejad not only knew how much he could get away with, he knew when to bring down the curtain.
He worked his scam so well, I almost admire the jerk.
Earlier this week, I had dinner with a retired American Marine colonel who worked with and respected the Royal Marines. He could only shake his head.
Several times, he had started to reach for the phone to ask his old counterparts if there was some insider explanation for the conduct of those Cheshire-cheese-eating surrender monkeys gushing their thanks to Ahmadinejad and the Iranian people for all the hospitality.
My friend, a man with a chest full of combat ribbons, never made the call. He knew the answer. And he didn't want to add to the shame of the splendid Royal Marines with whom he'd served.

Isn't is a bummer dddooo. I mean, these SOB did not satisfy your, and your Israel's, lust for blood.
I wouldn't worry if I were you dddooo! I mean, have faith in your governoment and its ability to cook something in the US and abroad to start a new war in the region that will benefit you and your neoconservative pals.
