Kidnapped British Soldiers

[skippy3481]

Slow down a little FI, we need to keep the racial slurs out of this. What irrates me the most danzig is the fact that they showed that video. That was completely uncalled for. The only reason they filmed it was to snub their nose at the british government and proclaim that they are incapable of stopping them. It's absolutely asinine that the british government would allow a foreign power to hold soldiers that were kidnapped in Iraqi waters. This sets a horrible precedent on future occasions when Iran wants something. They will realize that other countries will back down or put up some b.s. "economic sanctions".

Iran is like a child, one that likes to test the waters to see how much he can get away with. If we let him, its going to be harder and harder to say no as time goes on. Time to smack their wrist and let them know that this type of behavior will not be tolerated at any time.

that incident has ticked me off more than any of the rest-esp that they singled out the woman of the bunch, and she was forced to sit and speak so kindly of her captors--in a nutshell, that is what they are. it's outrageous!

truly, the worst part is knowing that this group was taken so easily, no fight back, not a shot fired. the commanding officer should be removed from his post. whoever makes their policy really and truly needs to re-think their rules of engagement!!

Uh well....Atlas Shrugged was really great....for about 900 pages.


Then I got really upset with her because she was dragging it out so I stopped.

The Fountainhead I have....but won't start it until I get up enough nerve to finish the other one.

I would highly recommend the first 900 pages of AS...though.


Kissy-poo,
