Ships today have satellite monitors that indicate their precise location. If the British ship was in international waters, its records would show that and they would easily have the UN on its side in this conflict. But it is only too obvious that Bush and Blair want a war in order to bolster thier criminal political ambitions.

Yep, kill them all, let Allah sort them out and get our lads freed.

In Basra it was a Iraqi Police Station, the one you gave guns to the 'keep the peace' were the ones being attacked.
Under the current scheme of things it would be perfectly legal for Iran to keep them hidden for a few years and whatever else 'the west' has deemed appropriate as fair treatment.
The last people captured at sea were released after a few days in that 2004 incident. An short interview was shown with one of those guys. From his training when the vehicles stopped in the middle of nowhere after a long bumpy ride and they were lead away from the vehicles he thought he was a walking dead man. It would seem that his military training was telling him what he would be doing if he was holding the weapons. Fortunately for them it was only a bathroom break,
The boarding party would have had weapons, there were marines and navy on the two dingys.
Have you actually read the words that spell out the authority that the UK or US have in regards to smuggling?
I haven't but I would sure like to.
Can they search ships heading away from Iraq?
Did you catch the UN webcast yesterday. Right at the end of the reporters questions it was said that Iran was going to hold a press conference at some Hotel at 11 the next morning. I even switched channels and did a web search, nothing not a word anywhere. If you missed the webcast the UN keeps it's records in something called an archive.
If you have seen it, notice how the US brings up events back to the 1940's, yet when questioned by reporters anything in the 'past' was not worth mentioning. (It was about Iran's FM bringing up that when Iraq went to war with Iran they used 'banned weapons supplied by the US , for one, and the UN Security Council did nothing about it for a week.)
When you lipsync the translator compared to the movement of the Iranian FM it is like those first attempts at Chinese/English movies. There are 10 sec pauses before the translator says anything, yet he stops almost as soon as the speakers lips move. I didn't notice anything like that in the translation done for other people.
Forgive me for wandering off topic


I didn't supply anyone with any weapons. The "CDN" in CDNBear, stands for Canadian, thank gawd Harpo wasn't PM when that mess started, or you may have a point, but thankfully you don't.
Probably better for the world if we keep you at home.
Probably better if we also keep you away from heavy-equipment.
You could state in your last will that you 'be merged' with a real polar bear, or several of them.
The last pic I saw of them 3 were sitting on a couch, an older couch.

Yep, just toss in the odd cow and the even more odd Liberal, I'll be all good.
Sure, but could we make that a Black Bear, that's my totem.
Who?

Iran is playing a great game of chess! And what boldness! The US is still in Iraq. Two American carriers lie off Iranian shores. The UN has finally had a security council initiative against Iran passed unanimously. But here we have a nation studied in endgame, staring us down. And the Brits have already had their pants pulled down.

United States, Britain, and Canada will be a war with Iran before 2008
