15 Brits to be freed as "Gift" shortly.

[MrVicchio]

Home.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said his country will free the 15 captured UK sailors and marines as a "gift" to Britain.

He said they would be released after a news conference currently being held in the capital Tehran.

Well this is certainly some good news, can't wait to learn the reason for the release like this.


At least it appears they will be free and unharmed!

They didn't say in what state the Hostages would be released. For all we know they'll be headless eh...

Doubtful. If they turn up dead, Iran may have just punched its ticket for UK (and probably US eventually) retaliation. They'll be unharmed.

[Lartnev]

Considering they weren't even in Iranian waters to begin with it was the only proper outcome that they be released unharmed.

That ticket has probably already been punched for the US.

Iran's ticket has always been punched.
It's just that even Bushie knows we don't have the manpower for a third front in the Mid. East War, so we've got missiles, bigger missiles, bombs and bigger bombs to thow at them. Maybe some big cannons if they have stuff near shore...

The First Iran Hostage Crisis was durring the Cold war.

How about Panama - Noreiga? I know that's getting a little late...1989.

The Israel conflict has spilled over to a number of european nations(They count as us when we're talking cold war). Our Embasy and a military baracks in Beruit was bombed in 1983.
