I think a certain Captain of a vessel has screwed himself by not remaining close enough to his men to protect them.

They will hold them for awhile,alot of strong words, and Iran will strike a deal with the Brits.

Discrection may have been the better part of valour. This could end up being quite interesting.

So they got a bit lost? geesh....

[terbang]

Thank god its the Brits. If it were yanks the whole nation would be riding over the horison towards Iran, waving their six shooters and bibles (modern revised version of course).

Have to watch this. I believe there will be a peaceful outcome knowing the brits, as long as them and them alone deal with it.

Someone tell me again why the hell the English Navy is over there? Oh oil and "terrorism" oh right.
Helping the Americans prop up their economy.

How about the Iranians send a patrol vessel off the coast of London or New York, and start searching ships in exact proportionality? Imagine the outrage in the US and UK, it's a massive double standard enforced by countries with nuclear weapons against one with none.
Wait until the Iranians get a couple of nukes, nobody's going to mess with them then. The next Israeli war might get interesting too.

No offense, Steam, but your grip on reality in this case is tentative at its very best. The poms aren't searching ships heading into Iran. They are searching ships of all nationalities heading into Iraq. And they are doing so under UN mandate. End of story.

Nah I don't know anything about it, I was just blathering on whatever came into my head. My apologies for my wild inaccuracies.

Hmm is that the same UN mandate that GWB used to go to war in Iraq over WMD?

[Hans]

Nah it ain't. Completely separate. Goes back to after 1st Gulf war.

Isn't that what kiwibikers all about!!

[smoky]

well if it ends up at war some one's going to push 'the button' one day, and booom - it's all over, then we'll all be

So the only thing to do is get out and go for a long ride on my bike, every day, while I still can. (thats my excuse anyway)

It's over oil - so we can thank everyone who owns a RV.

Too right! Blathering about things one knows nothing about is the foundation, the very cornerstone, of political activity. We must have more ignorant blather! George Dubya is making a good contribution all by himself but Blair needs to try harder.

War? Probably not, but it is possiable.
