I hope this doesn't come from some Cuban rag.

Well of course the Americans would have opened fire.
Then we'd have dead Americans and dead Iranians.
That of course,would be a far better situation to be in.
I was chatting to a soldier who's on leave from Iraq last weekend.He was saying a big problem over there is that the Yanks are far to gun ho in their attitude.(if that's the phrase?)He said it just causes bigger head aches with their attitude.
"They all think they're John Wayne"Was his words not mine.
He wasn't a kid either,he was a thirty year man.
Done time in Ireland and all over the place.
He was without doubt no bullshitter,
Of course one mans view doesn't make it the norm of course.
But I do wonder sometimes,when I hear the views of some on here.

Got a clue now?

Britain really should have shouted to the media when Iran gave coordinates inside Iraqi waters instead of waiting for them to release modified coordinates. Brainless and gutless.

No suprise that the EU refused Britains request for sanctions on Iran. Just like with Iraq their real allegiance is to the money from despotic regimes rather than any respect for international law or loyalty to a fellow member nation.


That leaves Britain with the option of appealing to NATO, since an act of war has been perpetrated against it, for military action.

Sounds like the Bush regime.
