Iran kidnap a set-up?

[Sam Slater]

They have enough for an air war.

[Sam Slater]

For an invasion yes, for a war no.

[strictlybroadband]

They could withdraw a lot from Iraq - I think they're getting bored of that war.

oh yeah in broad daylight being filmed by a helicopter and in iraqi waters that makes sense,the iranians had planed this beforehand.

Bliar has announced that "we are ready to go to the next level", I think he has threatened them with the our ultimate weapon, face to face talks with Margaret Becket, f*ck me, the very thought of that would frighten the crap out of me.
I wonder what the world's leading diplomats think when dealing with a political pygmy like Becket? bet they find it difficult to hide their mirth & contempt.

i read one of todays papers and a yank serving on one of their ships in that area said that they would have put up a fight instead of getting captured,but on the radio on monday andy mcnab says that they did the right thing in not starting a firefight,i have to agree with him there was no point in getting killed over a border dispute when they had done nothing wrong,if it was insurgents then they should have started shooting.thank god we don't act like yanks in having a john wayne attitude.
