Can’t we offer Mahmoud and the mullahs 15 nukes in return for the 15 Brits.

Delivered if they do not release the hostages by noon tomorrow?

The hard way.

Lousy %&*@! liberal [once] MSM!

“Once we reach the eve of destruction of a new Holocaust [from Iran], we will not think of anything else. We will be ready to destroy the nuclear infrastructure of Iran at whatever cost it takes. That means we will be ready to use unconventional weapons,” he said.

Israel Will be at War by Summer, Politician Says

I can’t wait to hear the crap that the Democrats are going to spew about why we shouldn’t, though. Sheesh.

o.O

To that I respond, “No $hit Sherlock!”

What I still fail to see, along with all the so-called experts (experts at stating the obvious but refusing to go the distance with their supreme observations), is even the slightest hint of resistance whether by word of mouth or hand or body language. Sure, the Iranians are probably telling the captives what horrible things might happen to them if they don’t capitulate willingly, but that doesn’t mean they actually willingly capitulate. The Iranians wouldn’t dare physically harm or kill any of them over such a benign event. They may be stupid savages reminiscent of some bizarro world backasswards Star Trek race of aliens, as evidenced by their entire history and the mere fact this event occured as it did, but I don’t believe the Iranians are even that stupid over something like allegedly straying a very short distance over an imaginary line in the water.

Catching foreign soldiers on dry land or dressed like uber-stealth spies carrying high explosives or laser-sighting equipment in the dead of night well within the Iranian waters might cause them to cross that line, but not this. We haven’t even seen the usual Iranian faux display of high tech weaponry and/or supplies accompanied by accusations of a sinister plot by the Brits to carry out some top secret mission in Iranian territory. Even so, by this time after so many letters and video bytes there should be some form of clandestine communication of some sort… and there’s diddly squat… zero… zip… na-da!

Yeah, okay, they’ll tell us their sordid story upon their repatriation, but they’re doing one hell of a job of telling us nothing given so many opportunities have presented themselves for them to do so thus far in so short a time. And to me, that’s a direct contradiction to all kinds of soldier training and standing orders.

Looks like the EU is talking a little tougher than the UN. Still no signs yet of any unscheduled NATO meetings.

Hope they don’t weasle out.

“But they’re not POWs, really”

Ah, displaying hostages is alright with ‘the world community’, then.

400 fag-killing pederasts flee before an Afghan-led NATO offensive: Complete success is being claimed for the largest Afghan-led operation yet against the Taliban. Afghan army forces and police have now purged the Nad Ali district of Helmand of 400 Tal…

Oh, hell. Treacher beat me.

Heh, pwn3d!

I’m not surprised that we’ve found and killed Iranian troops in Iraq. I’ll bet we’ve killed and captured more that we know nothing about yet for intel reasons.

Coming soon from the AP: a frame by frame analysis of today’s hostage tape that suggests there might have been another man in the room telling the sailor what to say.

Breaking on the AP wires right now: The Iranians have taken British hostages

“The same adjectives are used more or less in the other two letters, which leads me to believe they’ve been dictated,” he said.

D’ya think so, Sherlock? I mean, you can’t be saying that the Iranians have turned the captured British sailors and Marines into meat puppets. That would so out of character for a regime that came into the world with a massive hostage-taking.

The British continue to stand by their evidence and assertions that their forces were inside Iraqi waters when the incident occurred, and the Iranians continue to trot out the sailors and Marines who are under duress and were likely coerced to make s…..

NARRATOR: When a blue ribbon team of forensic engineers was asked by the government to determine exactly what triggered the Towers’ collapse, NOVA was there from the beginning, following their quest for answers

NARRATOR: From their detailed examination of the Towers’ innovative design to the search for forensic evidence in the molecules of collapsed steel, the investigation team has studied every possible scenario. Could one tower have collapsed for different reasons than the other? Was there something about the Towers—built to maximize rental space—that traded safety for economy?

Heheh!

Report what the government releases but please refrain from speculation and analysis for fundamental humanitarian reasons. PLEASE.

And Paved with The Bodies of The Mullahs.

And Other Capitalized Slogans.

Didn’t we all know that on 9/12? Jeebus.
