THANK YOU DoubleJ. For once, a Yankee fan gives me a logical argument on Pavano.

Let that be example to the rest of the YankeeFandom here on BB.Net. Back your shit up like DJ!

It's Yankees Fanzone™, and thanks for the seal of approval RRA!

Ronnie, I said that if the Iranians killed the Brits that as their allies we should support whatever action Britain takes. I never suggested we use out military. It is the Brits' problem.
They're animals anyway so let them lose their souls.

DT, the Iranians aren't stupid enough to execute some Limeys. They'll bullshit, then release them. They might even try to use them as a possible poker chip in the nuclear card game.

But if the Iranians are crazy enough to execute those Brits...I see Tony Blair going super-ballistic in his last months in office. It'll be the biggest retirement bang in years....

I say that killed or not, we should support whatever action Britain takes period.

Blair has already issed a warning to Iran : BLAIR'S WARNING

I totally agree DC.

I have to agree with the both of you.

The problem with Iran is that as crazy as the national government is, the Revolutionary Guard(under control of the Supreme Ayatollah, not the current loud-mouth President) has free-reign to do their operations and shit...and they kidnapped the Brits, by the way.

Either way, if they do the stupid option, I could seriously see Blair going Falkland Islands on their asses.

Where is Jimmy Carter to fuck up another Iran operation when you need him?

Nah, he's alone attending a Solar Conference...according to THE ONION.

Lets see, the British boat was in Iraq waters. There was a British Destroyer about 1 mile away. The 15 British soilders were armed and the British soliders were taken without a fight? Also why didnt the Destroyer do anything about it? WOW! I thought the British had more guts. They should have fought to the last man and women. If it had been American soliders on that boat I bet they would have fought instead of being taken! I also bet that the US Destroyer would have blown the Iranian ship out of the water.

The thing that puzzles me is why the British Destroyer did not do anything when their sailors were being captured.

Welcome back to general discussion forum DS

Jimmy Carter must have been on-board.

Wow, the same joke twice in two weeks DJ?

Who do you think you are, JAY LENO? Sheesh.

Why not a French joke? I mean, mix it up or Rich Little will accuse you of being a limited comic.

Umm...Lindsay Lohan!

Iran 'to release British sailors'
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says 15 British naval personnel captured in the Gulf will be freed. He repeated allegations that the British sailors and marines "invaded" Iranian waters, but said they would be freed as a "gift" to Britain.

He made the announcement at a news conference, in which he also awarded medals to the commanders who captured the British personnel in the Gulf.

He said the Britons would be released immediately and taken to an airport. "They are free after this meeting and can go back to their families," Mr Ahmadinejad said. The British government was not even brave enough to tell their people the truth

"I'm asking Mr Blair to not put these 15 personnel on trial because they admitted they came to Iranian territorial water," he said, referring to taped "confessions" made by the British sailors and marines.

"I ask Mr Blair: Instead of occupying the other countries, I ask Mr Blair to think about the justice, to think about the truth and work for the British people not for himself."

Britain says the 15 were in Iraqi waters under a UN mandate when they were captured nearly two weeks ago. It says the confessions were extracted under duress.

"Unfortunately the British government was not even brave enough to tell their people the truth, that it made a mistake," Mr Ahmadinejad said.

"We have every right to put these people on trial," he asserted.

"But I want to give them as a present to the British people to say they are all free."

A spokesman for Prime Minister Tony Blair said: "We welcome what the president has said about the release of our 15 personnel. We are now establishing exactly what this means in terms of the method and timing of their release."

Mr Ahmadinejad also criticised the US-led invasion of Iraq and Israel's war in Lebanon.

He used a news conference marking the Persian New Year to condemn the countries he said were behind "misery" and "destruction" in the world.

He said there did not appear to be anyone "to stand up and defend the rights of those oppressed".

He opened the news conference with references to the Islamic holy book, the Koran, then made a wide-ranging speech about the modern history of the Middle East, while attacking the West.

The invasion of Iraq was based on the false premise that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, he said, but even now "the occupation forces continue to stay there and people are still being killed".

Well Well Well....amazing what you can do with negotiations (as opposed to blowing people off the face of the map as neocons always wish to do. I bet Bush is terribly disappointed.

Or perhaps the act of blowing Saddam off the face of the earth made Iran think twice about NOT negotiating.

DC, yeah blowing Saddam off has scared Iran from growing as the ultimo anti-American foreign policy force in the Middle East.

Check please!

DT, come on....didn't I say all this was bullshit postering, how Iran would release those sailors out of "diplomatic goodwill"?

Really, listen to me more folks. I'm not just an expert in Movies, Pro Wrestling, and Real Politics.

Ronnie, it was an inside joke between Don T and myself.

So you guys' heated political debates over the years...was pre-planned?

I haven't been this upset since I was 12, when I found out that Professional Wrestling was fake.

What the f**k?

So you and DT's intense political debates over the years...was done as an inside joke against the rest of us?

Ronnie, I think that you've been watching to many spy movies lately.

I heard an "expert" on our news before saying that the reason talks took so long was because it was Persian New Year and there were no Iranian people at work over the last 2 weeks!
Well who have Blair and his pals been negotiating with then i ask?
The Janitor in the Iranian Parliament or maybe it was the night shift Security guard?!?!
Arseholes the lot of them
'specially that flamin' janitor

DC and I have had plenty of heated debates, and will probably continue to do so in the future. It is also a fact that DC and I have become friends, and our political disagreements are not personal disagreements. I have the utmost respect for DC, and I hope he does for me. That doesn't mean we have to agree on political matters or on world affairs. Please note, that DC's recent comment to me was accompanied by a wink. Way back DC told me he took offense at my calling people politically to the right "wingholes," and considered it a personal attack. I have not used those words on these boards since.

In this latest exchange I was crowing about the benefits of negotiation and DC was saying that maybe we softened them up by going into Iraq. Both points have merit, and there were no personal attacks, just a friendly exchange of points of view. So why are you so mad?

You were TWELVE when you learned pro wrestling was fake?

More like 10, but 12 was when at a local wrestling academy camp, I learned how wrestling "works" like bladejobs, how legdrops on tables worked, etc.

I most certainly do.

By following the rules of the Film Actor's Guild, the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the fag way. One day you'll all look at the world us actors created and say, "wow, good going, fag. You really made the world a better place, didn'tcha, fag?"
