If Mr Blair doesnt do anything to stop this outrage im gonna start recruiting people with any type of military experience and start a special ops team to set those poor guys free.
Yep, they are putting words in their mouths for sure. The BBC's Have your say is also interesting, for once the most recommended course of action is a 48 hour ultimatum and then a declaration of war rather than the normal weak ass sh*t that is normally seen there (and America bashing) - this can been seen further down though (the main one being from a French person)

If Iranian sailors entered British waters, the British would arrest the Iranians. The Iranians would then protest that they had not been in British waters; but the British public would not believe that.
That is exactly what has happened but in reverse.
So what should be done? Nothing. It'll all blow over.

The rest of the world was behind you 100% for Afghanistan and the war on terrorism and joined you , but most of the world cannot connect the war on terrorism to Iraq be it right or wrong.
Mkloby, of course you are right in your post on impeachment but Congress alone has the power to declare war. Of course now we are not in an officially declared war, which would give the President more powers than he currently has. If Bush were to send troops to aid Britain in any action against Iran, he could never get the Congress to agree to that action. Then the Dems would claim he declared war without the required consent of Congress and I have no doubt that they would start impeachment proceedings. In fact, I have no doubt that if the Dem leadership thought they had the votes they would start the impeachment process today and unfortunately there would be some Republicans who would back them.
I agree with you Mkloby about your opinion of the war powers act but I am not sure that the dems are trying to micro-manage the war but rather use the Iraq situation as a club to beat Bush with and to try to gain more power. If the dems win the presidency and still control congress it will be interesting to see how they conduct this war against radical islam. The dems keep saying that the people in the US want the US out of Iraq now as proven by the midterm elections. I do not believe that is true of the majority of American voters. I think they are unhappy with the progress of the war but most know the danger of pulling out prematurely. What is frustrating to me is that all this political BS that is going on here where the dems are trying to maneuver for votes is giving encouragement to our enemies.
we have talked previously many times if the US pulls out of the mideast what recourse action the mideastern foes will take. Jihad will blow open wide .........
someone wrote me from Israel this morn saying that the head dildo in Tehran is now personally involved with the capture of the British and that he claims the British knew they were in Iranian waters and must suffer the consequences.......whatever that means.
We are not at war... whatever you read. War I gather is a lot rougher... shouldn't you guys know that ?
