Iranian forces seize British sailors
How do you say "Gulf of Tonkin" in farsi?
andruejaysin Reviewed by andruejaysin on . Iranian forces seize British sailors LONDON -- Armed Iranian forces today seized 15 British Royal Navy sailors who had searched a merchant ship in the Persian Gulf, Britain's Defense Ministry said. Nader Daryaban, a correspondent in Tehran for the state-run daily newspaper Kayhan, said government officials had confirmed to him that the sailors had been detained. The officials would not disclose where they were being held. "The Revolutionary Guards detained the 15 sailors while they were in Iranian water, not Iraqi's," Rating: 5\"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn by the equal rights of others. I do not add \"within the limits of the law\', because law if often but the tyrant\'s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.\"-Thomas Jefferson.

lol.
This is very different from the Gulf of Tonkin Incident though. However, Bush is just as (if not more) trigger happy as LBJ was. I hope this just settles down.

What do you think would happen if Iranians were found in our costal waters? They wouldn't bother to talk, just blow them to hell! If the Neocons are looking for an excuse, you can bet they'll find one even if they make one up, Oh no they wouldn't do that would they? Oh yes they would, and probably will. Just hope the world press keeps them honest. you can't trust our press any more, If you want news instead of right wing propaganda, you have to tune into Canada, or some other democratic country, like Germany, France Belgium, Switzerland, Spain etc, free countries that have their view of what the Neocons are up to. This nation (USA) is now viewed by most of the free world as the imperialistic, capitalistic, neoconistic, warmongering Bully of the world, and rightly so! 90% of the change in world view has been since Bush-Cheney came to power!@

I thought that was what you lived for, kill them all, Nuke them out of existence. This could be your war cry, we must save the British, attack, attack! sounds like an excuse to me. (tonkin city) I'll reserve judgement for a few days, but it is awful convienient. I know one thing, that line between Iraqi water and Iranian water is pretty slim, could go either way.

In the words of Ronald Reagan,"There you go again."........You have to take a look at a situation and determine if there is hope or if we got another "Hitler" to deal with now or later.

As for the real issue here.......there'll be no way for either side to prove that they are right on this one. Where's the neutral witnesses?

As I understand it, the zone that the sailors were detained in is claimed by both countries and is very fuzzy.
President Bush doesn't have to use nuclear weapons to be comparable to Hitler. :thumbsup:DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT USE OR SELL ILLEGAL DRUGS.

Well, he is certainly removing our constitutional rights at a pretty good clip, spying on anyone he wants, politicizing federal judges (firing ones that won't adhere to the Bush agenda which is "fuck all democrats"). I wont go into a rant here as by now you know my position on Dubya. So what is your plan. You know my plan, open dialog at the highest levels.

Back to the topic and kind of answering you also. This has nothing really to do with us....this one is between our friends on the Island and the Iranians.
Now are you going to ask me what I think Blair should do.....LMAO!

We know what Blair will do, what Bush-Cheney tells him, he licks their boots and having watched him it amazes me, he is actually somewhat intelligent. Must be a shitload of money and weapons going his way.
